Description
Hi there. I'm selling a handful of rare records at £0.99 no reserve auctions. Very nice items all, and very well preserved too. All in EX condition. Have a look at my other listings...
This particular auction is for a bit of a curiosity. It's an acetate of unknown year (seems to be old because of flipback sleeve and label). Contains Bob Dylan songs as performed by the man himself in 1967.
I'm not sure if these are the same versions that appear on other acetates or indeed the Basement Tapes release of 1975. They don't seem to be! They seem to be sped up as his voice is higher-pitched than usual!?
The record has an un-google-able matrix of ADM 506 A/B
I'm loathe to record or play too much of it as the sound quality is already quite degraded. Below i've put small clips from A1 and B1
The tracklisting differs from many of the acetates available (i.e the EMI one):
A1 Too Much of Nothing
A2 Tears of Rage
A3 Quinn the Eskimo/The Mighty Quinn
A4 Open the Door, Homer
A5 Nothing Was Delivered
A6 Tiny Montgomery
A7 Lo and Behold
B1 Million Dollar Bash
B2 Yeah! and a bottle of bread!
B3 If Your Memory Serves You Well
B4 You Ain't Going Nowhere
B5 I Shall Be Released
B6 Please, Mr Henry
If anyone can offer any information i'll endeavour to include it on the listing!
Sleeve:
N/A Generic flipback sleeve of the era. Light browning

N/A

I ship using stiffeners and fragile warnings, so there's no danger of your record(s) getting bent! Also vinyls are separated from the covers of course
Grading:
I play-grade all records (unless stated on the listing) with a Technics SL-1210Mk2 + Shure White Label cartridge. I grade conservatively compared to most dealers I buy from, but bear in mind I can not guarantee that a record graded VG minus or below will play without skipping on your setup. They will be priced accordingly and you buy at your own risk...
Here's a rough guide to my grading:
NM: Seems to be unplayed.
EX: Fantastic condition. Playback with no nasty surprises. Fantastic clear sound
VG+: A well looked-after record, that may have the odd light click and surface noise heard in quiet sections/intros only
VG: Has surface noise and light crackles that sit well underneath music
VG-: Add stronger crackle to that surface noise. Still enjoyable but ballads may suffer from being quieter
G+: Crackles sit almost equal in volume to the music. Listed for rarity only
Finally:
Please no zero feedback bidders, and there will be no returns.
Good luck!
