Bob Dylan

"The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan"  (1963)  Guaranteed High Fidelity label

A rare 1st US pressing of Bob Dylan's second LP.  This was his first to be released on the familiar "2-eye" label.  Mono copies from 1963 through early 1965 have "Guaranteed High Fidelity" at the bottom of their labels, as this one does.  This one has -3J and -2L matrix numbers.

Cover  EX

No seam splits, ring-wear or writing, but there is some discoloration (mostly noticeable on the back) and a small area of damage on the spine about 2 inches from the bottom.  It appears to have bumped into something that gave it a little dent.  Spine is intact and read-able.

Vinyl   EX-

There are some light surface marks that can only be seen when you hold the LP under a bright light, but not very many.  There are also few more noticeable marks, but they don't appear to be deep and aren't feel-able.  The labels are very clean except for the initials BJM which are written in ink on each side.  Comes in a generic white inner sleeve.

Please see my other auctions for more Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel and Beatles records, including the RARE Bob Dylan - Zimmerman Ten of Swords box set and the INCREDIBLY RARE Beatles Japanese Mono Box Set on red vinyl!


Shipping

Domestic Postage - $4 for Media Mail (with delivery confirmation) for LPs, $1 for each additional LP.  $3 for 1st class (with delivery confirmation) for 45s, $.50 for each additional 45 (or to ship each 45 with an LP).  Insurance and Priority Mail shipping are available by request.

International Postage - Varies by location.  Insurance and Priority Mail shipping are available by request.  Multiple purchases will be shipped together at cost.  I pack well, so I cannot be held responsible if the postal service damages an uninsured item.  Due to some bad experiences last year, I can only ship to Italy or Russia using Registered Mail.  If you are from one of these countries and need a shipping quote, please email me before bidding.

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.


Payment

Payment is expected within a week of winning the auction via PayPal.


Grading

All grading is done visually.  If you need me to play-test a specific track, please email me.  I try to grade conservatively in the hopes that what you receive will meet (or hopefully exceed) your expectations.  I use the following grades:

NM, EX, VG, G.  A + (plus) after the grade signifies slightly better condition than the grade and a - (minus) signifies slightly worse condition than the grade.  I try to include a more detailed description after the grades, so please be sure to read that section carefully to get a better idea of the condition of the item.


Returns

I try to be very thorough in my descriptions, but if you find a record to not be as described, I will accept returns up to 7 days after delivery.  Please contact me first and let me know the reason for the return.  Refunds given only on the cost of the item, not on shipping charges.


Thank you for looking!  Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any further questions.
