BOB DYLAN Blonde On Blonde LP UK Mono 1st Press

Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!

I specialize in 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between! I've been dealing records for years, but i'm quite new to the ebay game so i'd like to tell you all of my intentions. I travel all over the UK hunting out the VERY BEST records I can find. Obviously, 90%+ of the ones I can find are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? I offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!!

I'm going to start by listing 20 LP's a week, all timed to end 10 days later. Hopefully after a while, i'll be able to step things up a gear or two in good time. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I can ever possibly find!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered", weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I intend to become one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and i'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!

I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

About : Ultra rare Original 1966 UK 1st press vinyl!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible musician!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!

I don't have the time to write about the brilliance of this LP (I really wish I did), but all you need to know is that it's EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME EVER, IT CONTAINS MAGIC!!! That's about all I can do right now. You really don't want to miss out on this LP, it's a TRUE classic!!! And this punchy, bassy mono mix is exceptionally special!!! The final album in the Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited trilogy, and it truly is Dylan at his very best!!!

The LP :

Labels : 

Classic UK Original textured "33" 1st Press labels!!!. All sides are AMAZING with NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears, in fact, NO real signs of ageing whatsoever!!! Only has a few light spindle trails from careful use over the years!!! AWESOME for a 41 year old record!!! All must grade overall at least as Very Good++!!!

Record : Visual - 

Spectacular Thick UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if they were just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, they look BRILLIANT with NO nasty deep scratches, and NO viscious scuffs, OR any groovewear whatsoever!!! The only blemishes is just some of the usual light wear such a few non sounding ultra mild scuff marks, a few light non sounding hairlines, and just some of the usual ultra light, wispy sleeve traces (only visible in direct angled light) from general light use and where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! AWESOME for a record of this age and rarity!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)   Record : Audio -    Thankfully, it plays BRILLIANTLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity!!! It really sounds great with NO hisses, hops, distortion, sticks, or skips!!! Only (like most records) has low level static in places such as on the run in grooves, the rarest occasional light click here and there, and just a bit of ULTRA mild and light "bluesman's fag" static in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections, but it doesn't overshadow the music AT ALL!!! (NOT like the sound of bacon frying, much much more soft and atmospheric) I'd even argue it gives it added soul!!! A hugely enjoyable listen - The music is TRULY loud and clear with that bass, clarity, depth and warmth you can only get from UK 1st Press vinyl!!! FANTASTIC for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audiably at least as Very Good++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)   Sleeve : 

Original 1966 1st Press flipback laminated gatefold sleeve complete with original inner sleeves!!! Very hard to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks AWESOME!!! PHENOMENAL considering the nature of these notoriously fragile sleeves!!! NO graffiti, NO tears, NO writing, NO coffee cup stains or ANY bad marks AT ALL, still flat with sharp openings, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! The only blemishes I can see are just a few mega light creases, a merest HINT of ringwear, the slightest touch of denting/rounding to the four corners which every vintage sleeve seems to have, and maybe just one or two other minor signs of age here and there, but NOTHING that really stands out to note!!! And that's about it!!! I tend to talk it down, but this is in ABSOLUTELY AMAZING condition for this 41 year old cover, and a TRUE revelation for this sleeve!!! The bright white unlaminated inside is still just that, and it's as strong, solid, and flat as you could hope for!!! An outstanding sleeve, and a real rarity to find one as incredible as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! It remains unspoilt, and even the spine is 100% unsplit, ultra strong, and 100% readable!!! Amazing!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me) 

Summary : A truly AWESOME example of this INCREDIBLY RARE classic LP!!! Hard to find in any condition, but IMPOSSIBLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS AMAZING AS THIS!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional light mark and light use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
