"BOB DYLAN" MEGA-RARE 1962 US ORIGINAL STEREO 6-EYE COLUMBIA LABEL FIRST LP, COLUMBIA CS-8579!

MEGA-RARE RED & BLACK STOCK 6-EYE LOGO STEREO US FIRST ALBUM!

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU WOULD EVER PROVE IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, BUT THE STORY GOES THAT AS FEW AS 200 STEREO COMMERCIAL COPIES OF THIS VITAL DEBUT LP MAY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN ISSUED. ONE THING IS CERTAIN, THE FIVE HOLY GRAILS OF US DYLAN LP'S ARE: "BOB DYLAN" STEREO 6-EYE STOCK COPY, "BOB DYLAN" STEREO 6-EYE WITH "NEW STAR ON COLUMBIA" STICKER AND "DEMONSTRATION" SILVER PRINT PR0M0 LABELS,  THE SAME PR0M0 IN MONO, AND OF COURSE - THE ULTIMATE OF ALL DYLAN - "FREEWHEELIN'" MONO AND STEREO COPIES WITH THE 4 WITHDRAWN TRACKS.

MUSICALLY THIS IS BRILLIANT AND HAD A LONG-LASTING EFFECT ON EVERYTHING THAT CAME AFTER, INCLUDING DYLAN HIMSELF. THE ANIMALS LATER CAME OUT WITH "BAY LET ME FOLLOW YOU HOME" AND "THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN", LED ZEPPELIN CO-OPTED THE TITLE "IN MY TIME OF DYING", COUNTRY JOE & THE FISH SPOUTED A RAG THEY CALLED "I FEEL LIKE I'M FIXIN' TO DIE", AND DYLAN HIMSELF MADE A VISIT TO "HIGHWAY 61".  

THIS COPY HAS BEAUTIFUL LABELS WITH VARYING DEGREE OF SURFACE WEAR. I HAVE PLAYED THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND IT PLAYS FINE WITH GENERALLY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE. THERE ARE SOME AREAS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE POPS BUT NO SKIPS, NO LOUD STATIC OR DISTORTION. ACTUALLY I THINK MUCH IF NOT MOST OF THE SURFACE NOISE PRESENT WOULD DISAPPEAR OR AT LEAST LESSEN WITH A GOOD VPI CLEANING, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. 

VISUALLY THE LP HAS LIGHT TO MODERATE GENERAL PLAY WEAR, INNER SLEEVE MARKS, SCUFFS & LIGHT SCRATCHES, & SUPERFICIAL MARKS OF VARIOUS SORTS. IT HAS OBVIOUS WEAR AND PLAY BUT IS NOT 'BEAT' OR TRASHED, THE VINYL STILL HAS SOME OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHINE DESPITE THE PLAY WEAR. THE ORIGINAL COLUMBIA INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT, SPLIT PERFECTLY DOWN ONE SIDE BUT FLAT AND CLEAN OTHERWISE.

CONDITION DETAILS:

• COVER HAS LIGHT MINOR STAIN RUNNING ALONG THE FAR LEFT EDGE ALONG THE SPINE. THIS STAIN IS PRESENT BUT BARELY VISIBLE ALONG THE SPINE SIDE OF THE BACK.
• THERE IS A SMALL TRIANGULAR SURFACE TEAR IN THE TOP EDGE OF THE COVER THAT COMES ONTO THE FRONT JUST ABOVE THE WORD 'STEREO'. THE TEAR IS IN THE VERY TOP TIP OF HIS HAT, DOES NOT AFFECT THE LETTERING
• THERE ARE SEVERAL SMALL 'PUSH' MARKS AND TINY EDGE TEARS IN THE OPEN SIDE EDGE OF THE BACK COVER AS IF THE COVER BUMPED SOMETHING, PERHAPS IT WAS KEPT IN ONE OF THOSE BRASS WIRE ALBUM RACKS.  THESE MARKS ARE NOT REALLY VISIBLE FROM THE FRONT SINCE THE FRONT COVER AVOIDED THAT IMPACT, APPARENTLY
• TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS 1/8" TIP SEAM EDGE WEAR
• LABELS ARE GORGEOUS, SIDE 1 LABEL HAS ONE TINY LITTLE SCUFF YOU CAN SEE AS A LITTLE WHITE MARK IN THE PICTURES
• PLAYING SURFACES ARE DESCRIBED ABOVE. AGAIN, WE HAVE PLAYED THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH AT 1-gram TONE ARM WEIGHT AND IT PLAYS FINE AND OTHER THAN SOME POPS AND SURFACE NOISE IT SOUNDS GREAT, DYLAN IS IN FINE FORM AND THE STEREO PRODUCTION WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL CONSIDERING THIS ALBUM IS JUST ONE MAN, ONE GUITAR, AND A HARMONICA!

TRACKS:

• YOU'RE NO GOOD
• TALKIN' NEW YORK
• IN MY TIME OF DYIN'
• MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW
• FIXIN' TO DIE
• PRETTY PEGGY-O
• HIGHWAY 51
• GOSPEL PLOW
• BABY LET ME FOLLOW YOU DOWN
• HOUSE OF THE RISIN' SUN
• FREIGHT TRAIN BLUES
• SONG TO WOODY
• SEE THAT MY GRAVE IS KEPT CLEAN
