MONO “THE FREEWHEELIN’ BOB DYLAN” NEAR MINT IN SHRINK!   

You’re looking at a gorgeous Mono copy of this iconic 44 YEAR OLD ALBUM.   Here are the specifics:


TITLE: “THE FREEWHEELIN’ BOB DYLAN” (Columbia CL-1986 – Mono)
2nd PRESSING – 1966


ALBUM COVER:  (NEAR MINT)  A drop-dead gorgeous cover that some might even rate a MINT-MINUS.  The shrink wrap is super clean and, despite the small section missing on the back, super tight. 
Front: The only flaw here is the partially removed price sticker at the upper right that caused no damage to the shrink wrap whatsoever.  This cover is a thing of beauty that needs to be seen in person in order to really appreciate it.   (SEE IMAGES.)
Back:  Rear cover is missing about a third of its shrinkwrap at the open end.  But this “uncovered” section is just as bright and white as the part that is still under the shrinkwrap.  The only blemish I can see is a very small section of light brown marks about an inch and a half from the top left corner.  (SEE IMAGES.)
Seams: No splits or fraying whatsoever.  The shrink is complete and tight except for the two open end corners that show only a half inch or less of shrink separation and just the tiniest little dings.
Spine: The spine’s shrink is complete, tight and unbroken along its entire length.  Even the shrink on both corners is still completely intact and unbroken. The text itself is super sharp and perfectly centered over its bright white background.  *** Any lines visible on the text is part of the shrinkwrap’s seam and not a flaw in the text.  (SEE IMAGES.) 

VINYL:  (VG++)   Thought about giving it a NEAR MINT, but decided to play it safe.
Record: Play tested.  No skips. Vinyl looks and sounds great. Still retains most of its original luster.  Has a few scuffs and some light scratches that produce just the occasional light pops between songs.  (SEE IMAGES.)
Labels: Both labels have a few light spindle marks, but still look really nice.  Side 2 does have a little minor chipping near the top.  (SEE IMAGES.) 
Sleeve: Comes in a new generic sleeve.
