BOB DYLAN - THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'
1ST PRESS - ORANGE TEXTURED LABELS
- CATALOGUE:CBS BPG 62251
- MATRIX: 62251-A2 / 62252-B2
BOB DYLANS 3RD ALBUM. THIS LP IS SLIGHTLY LOWER IN GRADE THAT I WOULD NORMALLY LIST, BUT DUE TO IT'S RARITY I HAVE DECIDED TO LIST IT. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH ARE TYPICAL OF THE WAY THE WHOLE ALBUM PLAYS. IF I HAD TO MAKE A SNAP JUDGEMENT ON ITS GRADE I WOULD SAY EXCELLENT, BUT PLEASE JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ROUGHLY TEXTURED ORANGE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THEY HAVE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM ANYWHERE, AND THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. JUDGING BY THE SMALL AMOUNT OF SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE I WOULD ESTIMATE THE LP HAS HAD BETWEEN 10-15 PLAYS
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED MOST OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT SHOWS SOME VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL SCUFFS, AND A FEW LINES. INTENSE ILLUMINATION REVEALS SOME MORE WISPY HAIRLINES. HOWEVER THERE ARE NO DEEP SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING THAT CATCHES THE FINGERNAL
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED SIX TWO MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS . PLEASE LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS. WHAT YOU SHOULD HEAR IS A CRISP CLEAR VOCAL AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR. THERE ARE NO CLICKS OR JUMPS, BUT YOU WILL HEAR SOME VERY VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND, WELL BEHIND THE MUSIC. SO PLEASE JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE AND NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR. THE FRONT IS VERY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES AND CREASE LINES. THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY INTACT AND HAS NO LIFT OR PEEL. THERE ARE SOME SMALL LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH UNWORN WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT.
THE SPINE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY VERY SHARP AND SHOWS THAT THE LP HAS BEEN HANDLED WELL, AND HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MANY TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE HAS RE4TAINED MOST OF IT'S ORIGINAL WHITENESS WITH JUST THE LIGHTEST TOUCH OF AGING AND HANDLING. THERE IS SOMEONES NAME IN BIRO IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.
THE FLIPBACKS ARE PERFECTLY ADHERED
THE SLEEVE HAS 'RECORD SLEEVE PRINTED AND MADE BY DAWSON ROSSITER LTD' IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
