	£		100

hi there! up for sale here is my bob dylan, zimmerman - ten of swords 10 lp box set, released in 1985 on tarantula.

in all honesty i don't know alot about this set, apart from the info i've been able to find on the internet, i will list this below.

i'll start with the bad first...the actual box for this is a little tatty, i'm not a collector so i don't know the scale but will try to explain.

top box part: three of the corners are ripped on the side joints, they are clean and have no sticky tape on them. there is slight dis-colouring and some scratches, no rips on front though.

bottom box part: all corners fully intacted, very slight dis-colouring and one small (4 by 5 mm) rip on bottom face (the cardboard is still there though so probably fixable.

and now the good bit!...all the lp records (ten - the full set) are immaculate and in original sleeves! once again, as i am not a collector i do not know the scale but there are no scratches, chips, or even signs of play on any of the records! the only point of note is that one sleeve has a couple of brown marks on it (removable i reckon), thats it!

so, the box has held up pretty well for the last 25 years, easily referbed i'd say.

the records have held up amazingly and honestly look like they were bought yesterday, and if your someone who wants to listen to great recordings i'd say thats what counts!

from what i can see these don't come up to often, 3000 made i think, very good quality records in build and recorded sound, oh yeah...and a crazy little booklet with loads of spelling mistakes and stuff, but its pretty cute, and in A1 condition!

***THIS IS THE FULL BOX SET! ALL TEN COLOUR CODED ORIGINAL LP RECORDS, ORIGINAL 16 PAGE BOOKLET AND BOTH HALVES OF THE BOX!***

and this is all i know, the rest is from the net!

Excluding Dylan's performances at the Newport Folk Festival, and outside of Jazz, there really never were many bootleg recordings circulating of rock musicians.  Dylan's 1966 concert changed all that and ushered in a tidal wave of bootlegs.  The most notorious Dylan bootleg of all time is, the one that pissed Columbia off immensely was, the Zimmerman Ten of Swords Box (happily, I own it, but I won't say how much I paid for it).  A 10 record set, only 3,000 copies were pressed.  Before the RAH concert was released this was the only place it could be found.  The set features outtakes from almost Dylan's entire career.  Rumor has it that a second volume of the set is floating around somewhere, although I have never see it.  The contents are as follows:
