| BOB DYLAN - JOHN WESLEY HARDING - COLUMBIA CS 9604. THIS 1968 RELEASE GOT THE SPECIAL COLUMBIA AFTER HOURS TREATMENT WITH WHAT HAS TO BE A ONE OF A KIND RED VINYL PRESSING. COLUMBIA EMPLOYEES SOMETIMES DID THIS WITH CERTAIN LPs/TITLES AND I CAN FIND NO DOCUMENTATION NOTING THIS PARTICULAR RED VINYL PRESSING. A YELLOW VINYL PRESSING IS DOCUMENTED ON POPSIKE AS SELLING FOR $2, 650.
THIS RED VINYL PRESSING HAS THE LEGITIMATE STAMPERS MACHINE STAMPED INTO EACH SIDE: XSM135311-1H AND XSM135312-1H. IT HAS NICE AND COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE COLUMBIA 2-EYE LABELS.
THE CONDITION OF THE LABELS IS VG (VERY GOOD), THE CONDITION OF THE RED VINYL IS ALSO VG. THE VINYL HAS MANY SOFT/MEDIUM SCUFFS AND A FEW LIGHT/MEDIUM SCRATCHES AND PLAYS WITH A "MEDIUM" (NOT SEVERE!) AMOUNT OF EXTRANEOUS NOISE. ON TOP OF THIS THE RED VINYL MADE FOR A RATHER POOR PRESSING SONICS-WISE, AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH COLORED VINYL PRESSINGS. SO, EVEN IN THE QUIETEST PASSAGES, THERE IS SOME EXTRANEOUS NOISE INHERENT IN THE PRESSING. THIS RARE PIECE DOES PLAY, IT DOES PLAY THROUGH, BUT IT PLAYS ON THE NOISY SIDE. THERE ARE NO SKIPS. THOUGH I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE VIEWING THIS AUCTION HAS THE INTENTION OF BUYING THIS RARE PIECE FOR LISTENING PURPOSES, IT IS A RECORD, AND IT DOES PLAY AND IS LISTENABLE. IT IS ALSO NOT OVER-GRADED (WHICH I DO NOT DO ON ANY ITEM). I TOOK NUMEROUS PHOTOS OF THE STAMPED MATRIX, NONE OF WHICH CAME OUT VERY WELL. THE "BEST" ONE I COULD GET HAS BEEN POSTED. SORRY, THE RED VINYL MADE PHOTOGRAPHING THE MATRIX EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.
INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION IS A FIRST PRESSING BLACK VINYL COPY OF CS 9604 IN NM CONDITION SO THE BUYER HAS A PLAY COPY, AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL COVER IN VG++ CONDITION AND THE ORIGINAL STOCK INNER SLEEVE.
THIS MAY BE YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST LP PRESSINGS BY BOB DYLAN: A COLLECTIBLE ARTIFACT FOR THE AGES!
THIS PRESSING AND THE STOCK COPY/COVER WILL ONLY BE MAILED BY REGISTERED MAIL AND INSURANCE IS OPTIONAL. THE COST FOR REGISTERED MAIL WILL BE SPLIT BY ME AND IS INCLUDED IN THE SET S&H COST. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS.
THERE IS A RESERVE ON THIS UNIQUE PIECE! ZERO FEEDBACK, EXCESSIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR ANY NEGATIVE BUYER FEEDBACK WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS WILL MOST LIKELY RESULT IN YOUR BID BEING CANCELLED. PLEASE BEAR THAT IN MIND BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU.
EACH WEEK I OFFER A FEW LPs GATHERED IN MY TRAVELS AND/OR FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION FOR AUCTION. SELDOM IS ANY ITEM VISUALLY GRADED LESS THAN A GOLDMINE STANDARD VG++ (IMO THE LOWEST ACCEPTABLE COLLECTOR GRADE IS VG+). PLAY-GRADED ITEMS WILL BE NOTED IN THE DESCRIPTION. ALL LPs OFFERED HAVE SOME COLLECTIBLE QUALITIES OR INTEREST, NO MATTER GENRE. I ALSO OCCASIONALLY OFFER 7" 45s AND CDs.
