Here is The Byrds' first album in first run state. It label has '360 Sound Stereo' in black print. These 1st pressings came out before the tunes hit the charts. Most would have the white print and still called first pressings. Columbia changed the label midway during production. You know when you have one of these, it is of the first few thousand pressed, the master still sharp and crisp. It show in the listening experience. The cymbal are a bit clearer and the 12 string Rick jangles a bit more. And the bass can almost make the needle jump. Best part of this deal is that the disk is pretty darn sweet condition wise and it's the more valuable 'true stereo' issue.


The Byrds / Mr Tambourine Man - Columbia CS 9172 - Stereo - 1965 (w/ pre-65 Columbia label)


The disk is EX. Full original gloss, clean labels, no spindle marks. The cover is NM and still has most of the original shrink.(there is a small section of the shrink torn away on the back. But still white and clean at exposed area) The seams, corners and overall shows no sign of wear, just a hint at the mouth. This is a top nick, first press original of this title. You'll rarely see one better.

My Vinyl Grading


Mint & SS (still sealed) - Factory fresh condition. 


NM - A near perfect record. opened and played but handled and stored carefully. Disk has NO marks and cover has no visible damage or shelf wear.


EX - A record in excellent condition. Disk has been played, yet signs of wear are tough to find. Few if any superficial marks can only be seen under good light and do NOT affect play. Disk has full gloss, clean labels and plays without surface noise (depending on vinyl pressing quality of the record company.) Dust ticks between track is only natural. Covers have crisp seams, no writing and minimal shelf wear.


VG+ = A negotiable well kept record. Disk may have superficial marks from normal use, especially when age comes into play. If any marks are 'feelable' they should not be heard in play. Any surface noise will be reported in my listings. Only light ticks between tracks is to be expected. Covers may have wear due to age and storage, but no seam splits, damage or tears. Any writing would be reported in the listing. 


VG  = This is the condition of most old records. A used record that still plays through very well without skipping. Surface noise does not overcome the song to the point of being annoying. Labels may have writing, but all info is clear. Covers may have minor splits, ringwear, writing or stains but are still presentable.


G or VG- = Only use this grade if the record is very scarce and valuable. The cover still holds the record. The disk still plays without skipping. That's it.

NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - Using USPS First Class International has been slow lately and many items can take up to TWO MONTHS to be delivered. The slow process seems to be on the customs end. I live on the West Coast of the USA and European items must first cross this continent before crossing the pond. Shipping to Asia has been much quicker from my location. Once the item leaves the USA, there is NO tracking. Please keep this in mind. I post items the next business day after payment. I have no control over the time of delivery. The cost to most countries is 14.00 USD. Faster mail options are quite more expensive. So patience is recommended.


Shipping - I usually ship items the morning after they are paid for. If payments come in after noon, they will be shipped the following business day morning. I will do international shipping, quoting the rate given to me by USPS plus 1.00 for customs headaches. If you live in Italy, Greece, Russia or Mexico, you might want to choose registered mail for I have found those mail systems undependable.


Packaging - All vinyl records will be shipped in an LP mailer with ample reenforcing to assure it arrives the way it leaves my house. If the box arrives damaged, it would be the fault of mail services. So when in doubt, insure your high-end items.

All records come in a poly sleeve and the record is shipped out of the cover and original inner sleeve to prevent damage in shipment.
