Description
A stereo first pressing of Bob Dylan’s 1962 debut album, with the ‘six-eye’ Columbia label. Dylan’s first album sold very poorly on release, particularly in Stereo, which was at that time only appealed to the specialist/audiophile market. Only the very earliest pressings of Dylan's debut had Columbia's ‘six-eye’ label, with the record company coincidentally changing their label design almost immediately after this album’s release.
This example is in VG+/VG condition; the cover is clean overall, with a small bit of paper missing in the bottom left corner of the back cover. The disc is shiny, with some scuffing and marks, but nothing too serious. Side 1 plays EX, and Side 2 plays VG+ with some pops and ticks for about 90-120 seconds, but no skips or jumps.
A mint copy of this album sold in July 2020 for $4,239.
We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked.
Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
