Bob Dylan / Great White Wonder / GWW / 2XLP Original Underground Relic / Bootleg

Here’s one for the true collector of important Rock history, an original copy of the legendary underground release, GWW - Great White Wonder by Bob Dylan. A true relic from the days when a release such as this was sought after and coveted beyond reason.

A pristine, mint copy would fetch a quite a sum but this is neither pristine nor mint. That being said the copy I’m offering here still retains enough to fit nicely in any collection of classic Bootleg releases. Along with The Beatles ‘Get Back Album’ this double LP stand atop the “behind the counter” offerings.

As you can observe in the provided photos there is some original artwork (no I’m not the artist) that either takes away or enhances this “find” depending on how you look at it. The cover is split in several places and it is of questionable quality sonically but the original feel of this release remains timeless. If you’re into these rare productions you know where I’m going.

Both records play fine and I’ve included the actual tracking order below as whom ever wrote out the songs did miss a bit. The dead wax on all four sides contain no matrix numbers just the letters “A” - “B” - “C” - “D” respectively, identifying each side.

I’ve priced this rarity accordingly in regards to the overall condition hoping that someone out there will finally be able to acquire an album that is very, very tough to find in any condition (and this one ain’t to bad at all).
