BOB DYLAN The Times They Are A Changin LP UK 1st Press

Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!

I specialize in 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between! I've been dealing records for years, but i'm quite new to the ebay game so i'd like to tell you all of my intentions. I travel all over the UK hunting out the VERY BEST records I can find. Obviously, 90%+ of the ones I can find are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? I offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!!

I'm going to start by listing 20 LP's a week, all timed to end 10 days later. Hopefully after a while, i'll be able to step things up a gear or two in good time. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I can ever possibly find!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered", weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I intend to become one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and i'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!

I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

Title :  Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A Changin'

Label & year : CBS SBPG 62251, UK Original Stereo ULTRA RARE 1964 1st Press!!!

Matrix's : Side A : SBPG 62251 1Y//1v420  1  1  1, Side B : SBPG 62251 2Y//1v420  1  1

Stereo Dylan 1st Presses are IMPOSSIBLY rare, especially in STUNNING condition like this!!! Just try finding another!!! Mono was the norm and no one had stereo compatible decks, and no one had even heard of Dylan at the start of his career, that's probably why these were pressed in such miniscule amounts!!!

About : Ultra rare Original 1964 UK 1st Press!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible legend!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!

The LP :

Labels : 

Classic UK 1st Press textured "33" CBS labels!!!. Both sides are PHENOMENAL with NO signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, NO stains, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has one or two ultra light spindle marks which suggests it's been played only barely a handful of times at the very most!!! And that's about it!!! INCREDIBLE for a 43 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Excellent!!!

Record : Visual - 

Original 1st press Stereo stamped front laminated flipback sleeve!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks AMAZING, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO graffiti, NO stains, next to no creases, NO tears, NO bad marks AT ALL, next to NO discolouration of the bright white colour, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has one or two ULTRA MINOR signs of ageing such as a TINY split on the top seam, the slightest denting to the four corners which EVERY vintage LP has, and being HYPER critical, perhaps a HINT of dulling to the bright white colour (though it truly is 99% unaged) and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! I tend to put it down by listing the SLIGHTEST negatives, but believe me, to find this sleeve in condition as near snow white and as new looking as this, is TRULY UNBELIEVEABLY hard!!! The iconic front picture looks absolutely outstanding with next to no ageing and NO discolouration AT ALL!!! A PHENOMENAL sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as incredible as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! I bet most new copies didn't look as good as this!!! It remains completely strong and solid, unspoilt, and even the spine remains strong, unsplit, solid, bright white, and 100% readable!!! Must grade overall at least as Excellent!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : An awesome UNTOUCHABLE example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic Stereo 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS AMAZING AS THIS!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional light mark and light use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
