Description

Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (1961-1991) 5 LP Box Set

I am offering for sale a really nice copy of this hard to find vinyl pressing of Dylan's first release in the long running Bootleg Series. This is the original UK issue, owned by me from new and barely played. I have placed the records in poly-lined paper inners to prevent paper scuffs to the vinyl or damage to the original printed inner sleeves.

Box Condition: EX ~ Light shelving wear to bottom spine, slight discolouration to left hand spine, a few slight indentations to the back Booklet Condition: EX ~ Shows signs of careful handling and use, bottom right corner does not sit flat

About me

I am not a dealer, rather an enthusiast selling my record collection of around 300 singles and 1000 albums collected over the last 25 years. Most of these records were purchased new and all have been carefully looked after.

It will take several months for me to list everything that I have for sale - if you are interested in 1980s and 1990s indie, C86, Sarah Records, Brit Pop, Rough Trade, 4AD, etc then you'll want to keep an eye on my auctions - use the link below to view my other items and also consider adding me to your favourite sellers.

Grading

Records and sleeves are carefully visually graded under a bright light. I also play a small part of each record to verify the visual grading. Records are played on a Goldring Lenco turntable with a Rega RB250 tonearm and Pickering XV15-625E cartridge, through an Arcam Alpha 3 amplifier into a pair of AKG K271 Studio headphones. I use the following abreviated gradings (standard Record Collector magazine gradings):

  • M (Mint) / NM (Near Mint) - 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 condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Near Mint denotes a record or sleeve that falls short of perfection in one small way.
  • EX (Excellent) - 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.
  • VG (Very good) - 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

I won't list anything that would be graded less than VG.

Where necessary I will elaborate on these short gradings in the item description. I also use '+' and '-' to refine these gradings where necessary.

Postage and packing

I have built up my record collection over the course of 25 years and have suffered my share of problems caused by shoddy packaging. I don't intend to make these mistakes myself when packing records for postage.

The box set has been padded internally with bubble wrap and then packed in a sturdy cardboard cruciform mailer. This has then been packed in an oversized box, padded with plenty of packing material.

Shipping weight of this package is approximately 1.8Kg, dimensions are 44cm x 39cm x 8cm.

I will post this item worldwide but please note that bidders outside of the UK must pay using Paypal.

Postage costs are as follows:

  • UK First Class - £7.50
  • UK Standard Parcels - £4.00
  • Europe Airmail Small Packets - £11.00
  • Rest of World Airmail Small Packets - £21.00
