This listing is for a nice original copy of Bob Dylan's 15th album Blood On The Tracks. Widely regarded as one of his greatest works, this is an album that really plays to his strenghts of country blues tracks such as the beautiful You're A Big Girl Now and Simple Twist Of Fate. Interest in this album is likely to intensify as a replica test pressing is being released on Record Store Day.
Please check out my other listings for other rarities and classics across various genres.
All of my records are play tested on a Technics SL-1200 with a Grado GF3 stylus which is quite revealing so any sound defects may be more exaggerated than on other more mainstream players. Or conversely if you are a full on audiophile I will let you judge how your set up compares and how you envisage the sound will compare.
I don't currently have access to a cleaning machine so please forgive any dust or finger marks which are on any of my records - hopefully will be investing in one at some point.
Record Appearance - VG+ Stunning record condition just the faintest of whisper lines from sleeve removal, very close to NM. Beautiful bright orange CBS labels are in great condition with no damage or pen marks with barely any spindle marks showing little use.
Record Audio - VG Frustratingly there appears to be a build up of dust in the grooves causing some surface noise on quiet moments. I have played the first track a few times and the needle has pushed some of it loose which improves the sound. I firmly believe a machine clean would leave a near perfect sounding record but I have to downgrade for now. Sound is beautiful and clear once out of the quiet moments, nice rich lows and mids.
Record Sleeve - VG+ There is only light shelf wear on the corners from storage but no visible ring wear due to being a high quality sleeve. Spine and edges are in really nice condition just the odd spot of wear, but great structure and fully legible titles, really belies it's 40 years. Original colour inner is also in superb condition with no rips or tears. A lovely original piece to invest in.
All questions answered and offers considered. Thanks for looking and please follow me and check out my other listings as they appear. I work full time and have 3 children so please forgive any delay in communication but should be within 24 hours.
