Bob Dylan ''Blonde on Blonde'' Double Vinyl LP Rarest Ever 1st UK Pressing MONO 1966 original.
Cat No. 66012 In England the album was released in August 1966, and entered the NME chart the same month.
The stereo version of the US album was released unchanged in England, but the English mono album was inexplicably different from the US mono version.
The tapes sent for the last two sides of the album were the same as the finished US album, but the first two sides were the very early versions as released in Canada.
While the mixing was the same, two of the tracks, "Pledging My Time" and "I Want You" were longer, while one "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" was shorter.
Why this should be is anyone's guess. Maybe the mixing sessions produced two tapes, and the wrong one was sent to CBS in England. Whatever the reason, the UK mono version includes music at the end of those two tracks which still can't be heard on any US release of Blonde On Blonde.
This mistake too seems to have gone unnoticed, and the UK mono version remained on sale until it was deleted in 1969.
This original inside gatefold featured a photograph of the Italian Tunisian-born actress Claudia Cardinale that was used without her permission.
Some critics at the time questioned if the photo was of Dylan himself in drag.
This is the 1st issue internal flipback gatefold cover laminated front and back.
Condition of Vinyl: EX or EX+ with an EX+ AUDIO.
If you see this vinyl in normal light you would probably grade it as NM. It is that good.
There are quite a lot of very, very light only hairline surface marks. The 4 sides are equally good.
A lovely piece of glossy vinyl, stunning.
Remember i am grading my records under a very strong light. This is an AMAZING copy with an AMAZING sound!!!
LABELS:
The labels are in great condition. Splendid deeply coloured attractive examples. No wear around the hole areas, with all ink uneroded and fully intact. Virtually no spindle traces to be found. The vinyl still fits very tightly around the record spindle. Deep intact colour, Minimal spindle traces only. Great all round examples!.Check photos.
Plays loud, strong and incredibly vibrant with amazing depth and clarity to the sound and my play-check at loud volume found no major audio issues of note - no scratches and no grove-wear or distortion.
PLAYED ALL THROUGH AND JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE AT TIMES IN THE RUN INS AND SOME OF THE QUIETEST PASSAGES. LOVELY CRISP CLEAR AUDIO, MUCH BETTER THAN ANY REISSUE .
Plays nearly perfect, with some very, very light surface noise only at times in the run-ins and some of the quietest passages but at times all you hear is silence. AMAZING AUDIO!!!
This is a great record!!!. Beautiful!!! No jumps or skips.
Condition of Cover: EX++.
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS JUST PRISTINE. NO MARKS, NO SIGNS OF ANY BENDS, HARDLY ANY LIGHT CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO WHITE AREAS, NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER. EVERY TINY BIT OF THE COLOUR IS 100% RETAINED AND LOOKING PRISTINE. NO FADING AT ALL
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PERFECTLY CLEAN AND UNRUBBED INNER SURFACE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR AT ALL. THIS IS REALLY BECAUSE THE SLEEVE WAS PROTECTED FROM NEW, AND POSSIBLY NOT OPENED SINCE IT WAS PLACED INSIDE
There are no splits or tears, the sleeve is intact.
There are some small laminate creases on the edges, which is only to be expected on an album of this age.
There is very, very light wear to this copy.
There aren't any light signs of ring wear.
The Spine is practically perfect. Check photos!!!
There is hardly any light wear along the edges. Really minimal!!
The inners are in great condition, like new. PERFECT!!!!.
TRULLY UNMISSABLE!!!
NEVER SEEN OR OWNED A BETTER COPY THAN THIS AND MY EYES AND EARS WON'T PROBABLY SEE OR HEAR ANY OTHER LIKE IT.

GRADING:
All records are graded using the UK ‘Record Collector’ format:
MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
PACKAGING INFORMATION:
LPs and singles will be sent in a record mailing envelope and will be protected by two cardboard stiffeners.
