BOB DYLAN Blonde On Blonde MONO 1st U.S. Pressing Hype sticker with photos of Claudia Cardinale and fan that were soon removed and edited on subsequent releases. Early pressing on mono, the best way to hear this album as it is how Bob intended it.

Full and bassy MONO mix in great condition, very rare to find a copy that is this good!!

Hype sticker on front cover has is loose but included. 

Pitman Pressing as indicated by the "P" etched in the runouts. 

VINYL in VG+/VG++ condition, record 1 is VG+ with a few very light hairlines/paper scuffs, labels look like the record was not played much, excellent sound with a pop here and there and very light background crackle.

Record 2 in VG++ condition, just a very few paper scuffs, excellent sound quality!!

COVER in VG condition with light ring wear/rubbing, corner bumps, creasing, rubbing on top and bottom seams, spine readable but has 2" area of paper loss in middle (see photos). Writing in pen in gatefold where 6 songs are underlined in blue pen (see photos).

INNER SLEEVES original Columbia inners included with round bottoms. The gatefold cover for this title is very tight and needs either a rounded inner or you must bend the corners of a square inner to fit. I have included fresh new inner sleeves as well.
