The album is a proverbial piece of history: Bob Dylan needs no introduction: this is the album that announced his arrival to the unsuspecting world, and the work which started the entire Dylan cult, which was merely a few years away. Capably produced by the legendary John Hammond, Sr. (who, among others, discovered such stars as Billie Holiday, Robert Johnson, Aretha Franklin and Bruce Springsteen) , the album shows Bob Dylan's deep and genuine love for all forms of archetypal musical Americana, particularly traditionals, spirituals, folk, blues and work song. Track listing: You're no good -Talkin' New York - In my time of dying - Man of constant sorrow - Fixin' to die - Pretty Peggy-O - Highway 51 - Gospel Plow - Baby, let me follow you down - House of the risin' sun - Freight Train Blues - Song to Woody - See that my grave is kept clean.

We do not know what pressing you will find inside, but we definitely DO know and DO guarantee that this is a 1960’s pressing: one of four Columbia ‘60s labels shown below.  Our qualified guess (which may be entirely wrong, of course) is that this is the second pressing, circa 1963/64 on RED AND BLACK Columbia label with “360 Stereo” banner in BLACK letters at the bottom of the label.  If, on the other hand, the winner should find the original, 6-eye stereo label inside, we will gladly take the album back for a full refund, no questions asked  :-))).
