BOB DYLAN: Debut Album MONO / Columbia CL 1779 / Red Label w/ White Letters EX

We are pleased to offer the debut, self-titled release Bob Dylan,  on Columbia "2-Eye" Label, CL 1779, in Mono.

THE VINYL:  EX :  The disc has some light hairline marks, & a few even lighter paper rubs. It has been lightly played, & retains most of its original gloss.  1C / 1C stampers.

This is the "error" version copy,  with the first track on side 1 listed as "You're No Good" on both the front & back cover, but listed as "She's No Good" on the label (this track name printed above the spindle hole- see photos).

Here are the identifiers in the runout:

Side 1:   XLP- 55619 (stamped)   &  SM (hand etched)

Side 2:   XLP- 55620 (stamped)

THE COVER:  EX :  There is some minor edgewear & paper loss; faint ringwear;   some age-related yellowing on the back cover; the letters CSW written in the top right of the back cover; seams are intact with bright front cover colour. I have placed the disc in a plastic inner sleeve to protect its condition.

As the debut album of Bob Dylan, this copy has historic importance. The album has its own page on Wikipedia, & here is some of what they say:

"The album was ultimately recorded in three short afternoon sessions on November 20 and 22. Hammond later joked that Columbia spent "about $402" to record it, and the figure has entered the Dylan legend as its actual cost. Despite the low cost and short amount of time, Dylan was still difficult to record, according to Hammond. "Bobby popped every p, hissed every s, and habitually wandered off mike," recalls Hammond. "Even more frustrating, he refused to learn from his mistakes. It occurred to me at the time that I'd never worked with anyone so undisciplined before."

"Seventeen songs were recorded, and five of the album's chosen tracks were actually cut in single takes ("Baby Let Me Follow You Down," "In My Time of Dyin'," "Gospel Plow," "Highway 51 Blues," and "Freight Train Blues") while the master take of "Song to Woody" was recorded after one false start. The album's four outtakes were also cut in single takes. During the sessions, Dylan refused requests to do second takes. "I said no. I can't see myself singing the same song twice in a row. That's terrible."

"The album cover features a reversed photo of Dylan holding his acoustic guitar. This was done to prevent the neck of the guitar from obscuring Columbia's logo."
