Extremely rare US original STEREO issue 12-track LP with original custom stickered black rimmed red Columbia labels & housed in the original custom 'A New Star On Columbia Records' silver stickered pasted picture sleeve with Demonstration stamp on the back.
?
The very first stereo release of this album came with the red/black "six eye" CBS "STEREO FIDELITY" labels and is very rare indeed as stereo was in its infancy and very few copies were manufactured. Most copies of the first release of Bob Dylan were in mono.??The front cover has the red "<-Stereo->" logo. ?You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was correctly titled on both the sleeve and the record label.??This "Demonstration Copy" has a 'For Demonstration Use Only Not For Sale' sticker on the side Two Label & a large 'Demonstration Not For Sale' pink rubber stamping on the back of the pasted slick. White title label promo copies of this album DO NOT exist - This was how the Promo Version was issued.??It also has the circular silver sticker with a black five pointed star logo on the front, in which is printed the text 'A New Star On Columbia Records'. This sticker is EXTREMELY rare & was on only about one third of all demonstration copies issued!??Condition :-??The heavyweight sixties vinyl has retained it's deep gloss shine. IT shows quite a few hairlines and scuffs. On side 2 in particular there are two visibly noticable marks. Thanks to the deep grooves & quality vinyl, these are inaudible & just cosmetic blemishes. The record plays with some background crackle in the quitter sections. Grades as VG.??The sleeve has been repaired with tape at some point to fix some seam splits. But the sleeve is clean and on the rear is the stamped’ demonstration copy not for sale’. Grades as VG.
?
All in all a respectable copy of this legendary & extremely rare Dylan album.
