Bob Dylan

"Blonde On Blonde"  (1966)  360 SOUND STEREO label

The 1st pressing of Bob Dylan's seventh LP with the original pictures inside the gatefold cover (including the one of Claudia Cardinale).  It has the 1st pressing labels with "360 SOUND STEREO" at the bottom of their labels in WHITE and NONBREAKABLE under the catalog number.  This one has -2C, -2C, -3D and -2C matrix numbers and includes the early alternate mixes of several songs on Sides 1 and 2 (most notably, "Visions of Johanna.")

Cover  VG+

No writing or seam splits.  There is some very light ring-wear (much less than is usually seen with this cover).  Would be EX except for some creases (most notably at the top right corner) and some light general wear.  The inside of the gatefold looks quite nice with only very light wear and a name printed in the white space in the middle of the two sections in pen.

Vinyl   NM-/EX+

Side 1 is NM- with only a few very light surface marks.  Sides 2, 3 and 4 are nearly as nice, but have a few more light surface marks than Side 1.  Overall, this is the finest example of this rare 1st pressing that I have ever seen.  This should be a "keeper copy" for all but the most demanding collectors.  Both LPs come in plain white sleeves.

Please see my other auctions for more Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel and Beatles records, including the RARE Bob Dylan - Zimmerman Ten of Swords box set and the INCREDIBLY RARE Beatles Japanese Mono Box Set on red vinyl!


Shipping

Domestic Postage - $4 for Media Mail (with delivery confirmation) for LPs, $1 for each additional LP.  $3 for 1st class (with delivery confirmation) for 45s, $.50 for each additional 45 (or to ship each 45 with an LP).  Insurance and Priority Mail shipping are available by request.

International Postage - Varies by location.  Insurance and Priority Mail shipping are available by request.  Multiple purchases will be shipped together at cost.  I pack well, so I cannot be held responsible if the postal service damages an uninsured item.  Due to some bad experiences last year, I can only ship to Italy or Russia using Registered Mail.  If you are from one of these countries and need a shipping quote, please email me before bidding.

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.


Payment

Payment is expected within a week of winning the auction via PayPal.


Grading

All grading is done visually.  If you need me to play-test a specific track, please email me.  I try to grade conservatively in the hopes that what you receive will meet (or hopefully exceed) your expectations.  I use the following grades:

NM, EX, VG, G.  A + (plus) after the grade signifies slightly better condition than the grade and a - (minus) signifies slightly worse condition than the grade.  I try to include a more detailed description after the grades, so please be sure to read that section carefully to get a better idea of the condition of the item.


Returns

I try to be very thorough in my descriptions, but if you find a record to not be as described, I will accept returns up to 7 days after delivery.  Please contact me first and let me know the reason for the return.  Refunds given only on the cost of the item, not on shipping charges.


Thank you for looking!  Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any further questions.
