Bob Dylan   

This is a US vinyl pressing from around July 1969.      This might be the very first privately pressed Bob Dylan album.      It is a double album in a gatefold cover.       This copy does not have a title, but it was later called "GWW" or "Great White Wonder".       The gatefold cover has big center holes so the labels can be seen and thick old yellow tape on the left spine.      The labels are blank white.         The matrix numbers are : Side one : 40  A6910  421,  side two : 40  B6910  421,  side three :  40  C6910   421, and side four  40  D6910  421.        

These songs are from The Basement Tapes with The Band, the 1961 Minnesota Hotel Tape, studio outtakes, and The Johnny Cash TV Show.

About Me :

I started collecting records in 1966.     I started selling records in Goldmine in 1985.      I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby.       And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon.     On Discogs I am 'Fragilerecords'.       My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.      I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.

Packaging :

I take great care on every package and I do each one personally.     I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard.     Each piece is 1/2 inch thick, triple strength industrial cardboard.       Together they are very strong and unbendable.       I always remove the record from the cover and seal them in a clear plastic sleeve.     The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides.
