ETHAN SINGER & BLIND BOY GRUNT (BOB DYLAN!)

(1963 FOLKLORE RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST & ONLY VINYL PRESSING!!)

ON OFFER HERE IS THIS SUPERB, GENUINE 1963 UK FIRST & ONLY EVER VINYL PRESSING OF THE FANTASTIC SELF-TITLED COUNTRY FOLK BLUES ALBUM WHICH WAS RECORDED IN LONDON BY DICK FARINA & ERIC VON SCHMIDT ON THE UK FOLKLORE RECORDS LABEL.

ON THIS LEGENDARY ALBUM THERE ARE GUEST APPEARANCES BY ERIC SINGER AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY BLIND BOY GRUNT, WHO IS ACTUALLY BOB DYLAN PERFORMING UNDER A PSEUDONYM!! 

THIS GREAT ALBUM IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION AND MAY PROVE TO A FINAL UPGRADE FOR MOST SERIOUS COLLECTORS. 

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS FOLKLORE F-LEUT/7

MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: DW + 133 + 3 / DW + 134 + 2

THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERB, FULLY LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE ONLY PROBLEMS I CAN SEE ARE A FEW LAMINATION AND THE SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE OF WEAR. OTHERWISE, THE EDGES, CORNERS AND THE OPESMALL AREAS OF BUBBLING UNDER THE LAMINATION AT THE SPINE AND A HINT OF SOME MINOR TANNING TO WHITE AREAS. THE EDGES AND CORNERSARE ALL IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO FEATHERING TO THE OPENING AND NO SCUFFING. THE SPINE IS NICE AND STRAIGHT AND FULLY LEGIBLE. THIS IS A GREAT LOOKING SLEEVE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, BLACK VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT HERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM ON MY PROJECT RPM4 AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT!! THERE WERE JUST ONE OR TWO SLIGHT BACKGROUND CLICKS THAT MIGHT BE ON THE ORIGINAL RECORDING AS OPPOSED TO BEING FLAWS ON THE VINYL.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
