The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released in May 1963 by Columbia Records. Whereas his debut album Bob Dylan had contained only two original songs, Freewheelin' initiated the process of writing contemporary words to traditional melodies. Eleven of the thirteen songs on the album are original compositions by Dylan. The album kicks off with "Blowin' in the Wind", which would become one of the anthems of the 1960s, and an international hit for folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary soon after the release of Freewheelin'. The album featured several other songs which came to be regarded as amongst Dylan's best compositions and classics of the 1960s folk scene: "Girl from the North Country", "Masters of War", "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right".Dylan's lyrics embraced stories ripped from the headlines about civil rights and he articulated anxieties about the fear of nuclear warfare. Balancing this political material were love songs, sometimes bitter and accusatory, and material that features surreal humor. Freewheelin' showcased Dylan's songwriting talent for the first time, propelling him to national and international fame. The success of the album and Dylan's subsequent recognition led to his being named as "Spokesman of a Generation", a label Dylan came to resent.The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan reached number 22 in the US (eventually going platinum), and later became a number one hit in the UK in 1964. In 2003, the album was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2002, Freewheelin' was one of the first 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.

All of our LP's are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.

With the exception of sealed LP's, all LP's are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting.  Upon request, we will give your sealed LP's the same treatment.

All records are visually graded, sometimes a few tracks are tested, or I may play the lp in it's entirity.  Here's our grading system.

SS (Still Sealed) Unopened records, still in original shrink wrap.  In original manufactured condition unless otherwise noted (i.e. evidence of mildew or bent corners, etc.)  OLD TOWN RECORDS does not sell re-sealed records.  If we have ANY suspicion that a sealed record is a re-seal or has sustained significant damage, we open it for inspection and grading! M (Mint)  The record and sleeve are in perfect, original condition.  The record may have been played but will have no evidence of deterioration.  If we use this grade at all, the record WILL live up to it!  A mint sleeve will be just that:  perfect!   
M- (Near Mint) A very clean record.  Near mint except for slight, superficial scuffs.  Sleeves in this condition may have marginal defects, but will not have significant creases or splits.  
VG+ (Very Good Plus) A well-cared-for record that is noticeably less than perfect, but defects are not visually or audibly distracting.  Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or light scratches, but are still primarily clean.  Sleeves may have some creases or minor ring wear, but should not be split.  Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.
VG (Very Good) A used, reasonable copy to play.  Many of the defects found in a VG+ copy will be more pronounced in VG condition.  Surface noise may be evident and sleeves may look worn, but the record is still a decent copy.
VG- (Very Good) A well-worn record that is still playable.  Good does not necessarily mean "bad" but a record in this condition will have audible distractions and may have visible groove wear.  Sleeves may have all manner of defects, but are still intact.
G (Good) and F (Fair) These grades are for beat-up records. We only sell records in these grades if they are extremely rare and sought-after.
