BOB DYLAN'S SECOND ALBUM RELEASE
Masters 62193-4A 1/ 62193-3B 1
1st UK CBS Rough Texture Label with early 33 print
1st UK Flipback Sleeve
Sleeve: Very Good condition with bright glossy laminate which is still intact.
No handwriting or handwriting impressions, or marks to any of the artwork or photograph.
The sleeve is clean, fully intact, no splits or rips anywhere, and all flipbacks are fully intact. There are a few areas of rubbing and a couple of off-white discoloration patches on the the reverse. The text is clear and the iconic front pictorial is unblemished.
The original 1963 price sticker is still on the sleeve.
1st Issue Sleeve
Inner Sleeve: Fully functional poly-lined original CBS patents pending inner sleeve from the period. In excellent condition with no splits or seam splits, and fully intact.
The Vinyl Disc: Very Good Condition
The record lays flat on the turntable. Both sides have a fair amount of non-feelable faint surface handling hairlines on both sides which can be made visible under strong light. The surfaces are clean, smooth, and glossy. There are no major marks that would cause any detractions,
and the record is free from warps and groove wear.
Robust fairly heavy early sixties 157 gram vinyl.
First pressing with the master matrix ending with '1' on both sides.
The labels are Very Good+. Neat spindle hole and very minor wear to perimeter area around the spindle hole rim, spindle lines are few and faint even under bright light.
The labels have the early 33 speed printed rather than the later corrected 33 and a third.
The Audio: Very Good
This record has seen a fair amount of plays but has been handled carefully. The record plays well from start to finish with some noticeable light ticks and background noise in a few places, there are no major detractions to the audio such as jumps/ skips or pops or constant ground noise.
Not a mint example but well worth it for the authenticity of this rare early mono recording.
.......................................
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is probably Bob Dylan's most notorious album thanks to some of the classic tracks it contains such as Blowin' In The Wind, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, and Corrina, Corrina. Not to mention the iconic front pictorial on the sleeve. This is the very first UK Mono press and sleeve.
The LP will be delivered in a quality double-part cardboard LP mailer with stifferners.
The record placed separately in a plain generic inner to prevent wear to the original.
LP will be housed in a quality PVC record protector as shown and the item will be marked as fragile, and sent recorded delivery in the UK or tracked if over seas.
To grade this LP I am using the official Grading System from
The Rare Record Collector Magazine.
Happy to refund on return if not satisfied.
