BOB DYLAN
Bob Dylan
PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL !!!!
ORIGINAL 1962 UK 1ST PRESS, AND PLAYS BRILLIANT !!!!
THIS IS A RARE ORIGINAL 1962 PHILIPS CONTRACT PRESS !!!! VERY CONFUSING, BUT IN 1962 WHEN FIRST RELEASED, CBS DID NOT HAVE THEIR OWN PRESSING PLANT UNTIL 1964, SO THE PRESSING JOB WAS DONE BY 'PHILIPS RECORDS', WHICH HAS DIFFERENT MATRIX, TO THE 1964 CBS PRESS, SO THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS VINYLS WERE PRESSED BY PHILIPS, FOR CBS !!!!
THIS IS 'ROBERT ALLEN ZIMMERMAN', BETTER KNOWN AS BOB DYLAN, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY, AND IN MY OPINION THE GREATEST PERFORMER OF ALL TIME, AS HIS FIRST ALBUM IN 1962, AND HE MADE AN ALBUM IN 2023, 61 YEARS LATER AND IS STILL PERFORMING TODAY !!!! THIS AMAZING ALBUM COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1962 UK 1ST PRESS :: BPG 62022 1L V 2 = 420  VV3  :: BPG 62022 2L V 1// 420 VOV .

ON THE TEXTURED CBS LABELS :: BPG 62022 .
'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1962' LABEL TEXT .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1962 FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK MONO, WITH 'BPG 62022' UNDER THE CBS LOGO ON THE FRONT TOP LEFT CORNER. THE FRONT IS IN LOVELY CONDITION, WITH LOVELY LAMINATE JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE SPINE AND EDGES AGAIN ARE IN LOVELY CONDITION, JUST A VERY TINY RUB ON THE SPINE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS AND SOME LIGHT AGEING ON THE BACK, WHICH IS BEST DESCRIBED BY THE PHOTOS, THANK YOU. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ . 

VINYL :: PLAYS BRILLIANT WITH NOTHING NASTY ON THE AUDIO SO WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND BETTER, SO NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, NO POPS, CLICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, SO ALL I HEARD WAS....

ON SIDE 1 :: JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1, AND TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 .

ON SIDE 2 :: THERE ARE THREE LIGHT POPS, AND TWO LIGHT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START OF TRACK 3, AND A LIGHT TICK TOWARDS THE END OF THE LAST TRACK, AND THAT'S ALL !!!!

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE A FEW FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A LONG COSMETIC HAIRLINE ON SIDE 1 NOW THERE ARE TWO TINY MARKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE, WHERE THOSE THREE LIGHT POPS, AND TWO LIGHT TICKS CAN BE HEARD. 

SO A BIT AWKWARD TO AUDIO GRADE SO BEST TO SLIT THE GRADE....

ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1, AND ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 2 (EXCEPT THE START OF TRACK, ON SIDE 2) I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  EX/EX+ . 

THE START OF TRACK, ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  VG .

LABELS :: NO ISSUES, LOVELY AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ::  EX .

INNER :: NO SPLITS, OR WRITING AND IN NICE CONDITION, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING, 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN', PRINTED BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE :: VG/VG+ .

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, BOB DYLANS FIRST ALBUM, AND AN ORIGINAL 1962 1ST PRESS, WHICH WAS CONTRACTED OUT TO PHILIPS RECORDS TO PRESS, SO IT IS NOT THE LATER CBS PRESS FROM 1964, AS CBS DID NOT HAVE THEIR OWN PRESSING PLANT UNTIL 1964 !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.
