-Artist / Group: Bob Dylan

-Mini bio: Born Robert Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota; raised in Hibbing, Minnesota. Highly influential singer/songwriter/guitarist/harmonica player. Innovator of folk-rock style. Took stage name from Dylan Thomas. To New York City in December 1960. Worked Greenwich Village folk clubs. Signed to Columbia Records in October 1961. Motorcycle crash on July 29, 1966 led to short retirement. Member of the supergroup Traveling Wilburys. His son Jakob is lead singer of The Wallflowers. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Won Grammy's Lifetime Acievement Award in 1991.

-Bob Dylan entered Billboard's Top 100 Singles Charts 27 times between 1965 and 2006 with classics such as Subterranean Homesick Blues (1965), Like A Rolling Stone (1965), Rainy Day Women # 12 # 35 (1966), Lay Lady Lay (1969), Knockin' On Heaven's Door (1973) and Gotta Serve Somebody (1979) among others.

-However, two of Bob Dylan's best and most influential singles never even bubbled under Billboard's Top 100 charts which were: Mixed Up Confusion b/w Corrina, Corrina (1962) and Blowin' In The Wind b/w Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (1963). These were Bob Dylan's first and second 45 rpm single releases. Bob Dylan would be more universally known two years later in 1965 with his release of the single Subterranean Homesick Blues on Columbia 43242, and from that point forward he gradually became one of the most legendary, influential songwriters' of our times.

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularily rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwheming.
