BOB DYLAN " THE FREEWHEELIN " BPG 62193 ( CL 1986 ) MONO

THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE OF THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSINGS OF THIS ICONIC L.P. 


EARLIEST PRESSING ROUGH TEXTURED ORANGE CBS LABELS ( ALL LATER PRESSINGS WHERE ON GLOSS LABELS ) VERY RARE FIRST PRESSING 33 RPM ( ALL SUBSEQUENT RELEASES HAD 33 1/3 RPM ) VERY LIMITED PRESS OF THESE EARLY LABELS.


SIDE 1 : EARLIEST POSSIBLE RECORD NUMBER  BPG 62193 1L  WITH IMPOSSIBLE " RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963 "LIMITED TO A TINY AMOUNT OF RELEASES  PRESSED AT THE PHILIPS FONTANA   PRESSING PLANT ON BEHALF OF CBS.  ONE OFF MATRIX NUMBER RUN    BPG 62193 1L-1= 420 ONLY A HANDFUL OF PRESSINGS CARRIED THESE FIRST MATRIX NUMBERS . 


VINYL VISUALLY GRADED WITH LIGHT PLAY AND MINIMAL LIGHT SURFACE MARKING  GRADED EXCELLENT  LABELS ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE SPINDLE WEAR   

THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT THE LAMINATED SLEEVE IS VERY CLEAN WITH SOME LIGHT CREASING TO RIGHT EDGE AND BOTTOM RIGHT FRONT CORNER EXHIBITING A BIT OF THE LAMINATION LIFTING ON THE CREASE BUT NOTHING TOO SERIOUS WITH A RECORD OF THIS AGE. LIGHT EDGE WEAR CLEAN LEGIBLE SPINE THE REAR  SLEEVE IS ALSO VERY CLEAN WITH THE LIGHT FADING AND VERY LIGH STAINING  . WITH ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE (SPLIT ON ONE SIDE) 


This  really is a very nice Collection addition condition and has had light play with all the first Dylan UK release characteristics with  rare first pressing matrix numbers. This has been extremely well cared for. Nearly all these early sixties LP’s have been well played and show severe signs of aging this is a Good example and a GOOD addition to any collection.

These very rare early mono records just do not come up for sale try to find another like this!  A real chance to own a piece of music history that will certainly only grow in value .

THE RECORDS WILL BE VERY WELL PACKAGED
