Description

Original UK MONO pressing from 1962. The record is in NEAR MINT condition with no marks or scratches. The laminated flip-back sleeve is in EXCELLENT+ condition.

This is a real "must have" for a Dylan Collector. Only the USA and the UK released this debut album in 1962. Other European and international versions were not released until well after Bob had become famous along with a number of re-released versions in the US and UK.
There are several specific characteristics that identify this unique original version which can be readily verified on the numerous Dylan web sites.
1) "BOB DYLAN" is offset to the left on the orange record label
2) The record speed is shown as just "33" instead of "331/3" on later releases
3) The first tack on the label is incorrectly titled "She's No Good"
4) The back cover has three folded over flaps on the edges (flip back sleeve), later releases did not.

This is a valuable item that I am sure will attract the interest of serious collectors especially in this condition.

Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica). Recorded in Columbia Recording Studios, New York, New York in 1961. The first album from the greatest musical poet of the 20th century gave little indication of what was to come, it reeks of the 50s folk/protest movement. Many of the standards covered by Dylan had been sung by a thousand troubadours throughout the McCarthy era and the anti-war movement. Dylan sings like an innocent angel, and makes Eric Von Schmidt's lusty "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" sound sweet. The seeds of greatness were apparent in the sensitive original "Song To Woody," a sadly overlooked entry in the massive Dylan catalogue. A wonderful exercise in what was then and what is not now.
