Cat No. 66012
In England the album was released in August 1966, and entered the NME chart the same month.
The stereo version of the US album was released unchanged in England, but the English mono album was inexplicably different from the US mono version.
NEAR MINT Vinyls, Barely Ever Played
The tapes sent for the last two sides of the album were the same as the finished US album, but the first two sides were the very early versions as released in Canada.
While the mixing was the same, two of the tracks, "Pledging My Time" and "I Want You" were longer, while one "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" was shorter. Why this should be is anyone's guess. Maybe the mixing sessions produced two tapes, and the wrong one was sent to CBS in England. Whatever the reason, the UK mono version includes music at the end of those two tracks which still can't be heard on any US release of Blonde On Blonde.
This mistake too seems to have gone unnoticed, and the UK mono version remained on sale until it was deleted in 1969.
This original inside gatefold featured a photograph of the Italian Tunisian-born actress Claudia Cardinale that was used without her permission. Some critics at the time questioned if the photo was of Dylan himself in drag. The gatefold cover is in STRONG EXCELLENT condition showing only some light wear to the edges and corners. This is the 1st issue Garrod & Lofthouse internal flipback gatefold cover laminated front only;
After the first print run the layout was changed on the right hand side of the US edition; Claudia Cardinale had objected to the use of her photo, so from 1968 onward, Cardinale's photo was removed from all pressings of the album, making copies of the record sleeve featuring the actress an out-of-print collector's item. This change took a long time to cross the Atlantic, though, and the original photos stayed on the UK sleeve until around 1980, when the revised seven-photo layout took over.
These are the 1st issue CBS labels and are in NEAR MINT Condition. Only 1st issue labels feature ‘’33’’ on the labels, later issues feature "33 1/3"
The inner bags are EXCELLENT with no tears or splits
A true archive copy for Dylan audiophiles out there - nearly 45 years old!
