The Grail for Byrds Collectors

Offered here is an exceptionally rare, Factory Sealed first pressing of The Byrds’ 1968 masterpiece, The Notorious Byrd Brothers. This isn't just a record; it’s a time capsule.

As a first pressing (identifiable by the Columbia Stereo CS 9575 / Mono CL 2775 markers on the jacket), this features the iconic photography of Guy Webster and the legendary production of Gary Usher. Since the album is still sealed, the vinyl inside is in unplayed, Mint condition, preserved exactly as it left the pressing plant over 55 years ago.

Notable Highlights:

• Genuine Factory Seal: The shrink wrap is tight and original.

• Breathe Holes: The original factory "breathe holes" are visible in the shrink wrap, confirming its authenticity.

• Vintage Price Sticker: Features a classic "Variety Audio" $2.99 special buy sticker—a charming piece of provenance for the serious collector.

• First Pressing Identification: Top left corner displays both Stereo CS 9575 and Mono CL 2775 catalog numbers, standard for the initial 1968 run.
