Description
AN EXQUISITE ORIGINAL U.S. COLUMBIA PROMO COPY OF BOB DYLAN OH MERCY. THIS IS A TRUE FIRST PRESSING FROM THE FIRST STAMPER, 1A/1A. IT IS A DMM MASTERING, ALL FIRST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE MASTERED DMM BY GREG CALBI AT STERLING SOUND IN NEW YORK.
PROMO COPIES OF THIS LP ARE HARD TO COME BY AS THEY ARE EAGERLY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS WHO KNOW THEIR UNIQUENESS AND ARE EAGER TO GET THEIR HAND ON THEM. OH MERCY IS ALREADY ONE OF THE HARDEST TO COME BY DYLAN RECORD AND THE PROMOS ARE EVEN HARDER. TO COME BY.
THIS IS A WAY BETTER RECORD THAN I HAD IMAGINED AND IN SOME WAYS IT REMINDS OF DYLAN'S OTHER LATE CAREER MASTERPIECE, TIME OUT OF MIND. BOTH ARE MELLOW ROCKING ALBUMS WITH DEPTH TO THE SONG WRITING, THE KIND OF DEPTH ONE RARELY SEES IN MUSIC THESE DAYS.
VINYL IS CLOSE TO PERFECTION, LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST UNWRAPPED TODAY. CLEAN, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL. NO HAIRLINES AND NO SCUFFS FEATURES A RED LABEL WITH A BAND OF YELLOW COLUMBIA CIRCLING IT. IT IS A LITTLE THICKER THAN MOST 80s VINYL I RUN ACROSS AND HAS 1A HAND ETCHED ON BOTH DEADWAX TRAIL OFF ALONG WITH THE INITIALS "DMM".
ON PLAYBACK I HEARD TWO INSTANCES OF DUST CRACKLES, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE RECORD AND TOWARD END OF SIDE 2. OTHER THAN THAT THE SOUND IS TOP NOTCH AUDIOPHILE.
JACKET IS MADE OF A LIGHT CARD STOCK AND HAS A GLOSSY FINISH TO IT. OVERALL IT IS IN CLEAN NM SHAPE. VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF WEAR, INCLUDING A FAINT RING WEAR ON THE BACK AND A LIGHT CREASING ALONG THE SPINE. THERE IS A CBS PROMOTIONAL STAMP OVER THE BAR CODE ON THE BACK.
COMES WITH A CUSTOM PRINTED PAPER INNER SLEEVE WITH ALBUM CREDITS. INNER SLEEVE HAS PARTIAL SPLITTING ON THE SIDE AND ON THE BOTTOM.
THIS RECORD IS STORED IN A SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT AND HOUSED IN A CRYSTAL CLEAR RESEALABLE OUTER SLEEVE.
I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING RID OF MY VINYL COLLECTION AND EQUIPMENTS. I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN RID OF MY RECORD CLEANER AND THOUGH MY RECORDS WILL LOOK CLEAN IT IS IMPORTANT THE BUYER UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WERE NOT CLEANED BEFORE SHIPPING.
ALL GRADING ARE BASED ON VISUAL INSPECTION. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GRADE SOUND ON A RECORD AS THE SOUND CAN BE AFFECTED BY THE EQUIPMENT THE BUYER USES FOR PICK UP. AS A SELLER THE MOST I COULD DO IS PROVIDE THE BUYER WITH AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I HEARD ON PLAY BACK FROM MY MC CARTRIDGE AND SPEAKERS. ABOVE ALL, I NEVER LEAVE OUT A NY DEFECT IF A RECORD HAS ONE!
QUESTIONS ABOUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
