Description
14 rare Dylan LP's including Forty Red White & Blue Shoe Strings. All the vinyl is near mint condition. Covers, apart from 'Hold the Fort For What It's Worth' which has slight creasing bottom left, are all excellent, having been laminated soon after purchase (except Dylan 62 which came ready laminated). Pressing quality varies - in the main pretty good but The Villager has very noticable surface noise.
Track listings and info on tape source quality can be found on Bob's Boots Website.
This is pretty much the last of my collection of rare Dylan vinyl. Sorry, won't split these.
Dylan 62 - Gaslight-Whitmark label. Packaging and labels with pretentions to official album status.
The Villager (Double) - Gatefold sleeve. Label: Kathy Records. Red and Turquoise labels respectively.
Poems in Naked Wonder - Cover slip says this is the Flat label. Label itself is plain yellow except for side numbers.
The Gaslight Tapes - Orange and black Instant Analysis label.
24 - Plain white label. Custom-made cover: black with raised blue lettering plus track listing on back. (Original unlaminated cover is available if required, but is simply plain white card with green hand-written title and tracklist, and spine constructed from what looks like white elastoplast.)
Ceremonies of the Horsemen (spelt 'Cereomoies') - Cover slip identifies label as Highway Hi-Fi, though the label itself it says The Amazing Korneyphone Record Company. However, matrix identification on the disc clearly states Highway Hi-fi; therefore I'm assuming this was not a genuine TAKRL release . Relatively rare source of studio versions of Tomorrow Is a Long Time and If I Could Do It All Over Again.
All Hallows Eve 1964 - All tracks now, I think, available officially. Cover slip says this is the SODD label, but label itself uses 'World Records' / phoney song titles disguise.
Seventy Dollar Robbery - no label name, orange label simply indicates sides A & B (though wrong way round, with B as side 1). This album was generally notorious for appalling pressings, but this copy is relatively quiet. Includes the Accoustic 'George Jackson'.
Forty Red White & Blue Shoe Strings. Allegedly the first LP to make available the '65 LA session with the Band, this album once enjoyed almost mythical status. Cover says Roach Records; label itself is plain white. Unusually, the rear cover is printed; cover slip photo is affixed to front.
Waters of Oblivon - Plain cover except for title stamp and typed tracklist on rear. Plain orange label. Possibly the first Basement Tapes release to find its way to the public, this probably has the same track listing as the acetate distributed within the music industry circa 1967.
Million Dollar Bash - Cover printed both sides, but gives no label name. Plain white label.
Believe What You Heard - Rolling Thunder audience recordings. Cover slip says 'Ze Anonym Plattenspieler' label but label itself has the World Records disguise format. Includes a couple of non-regular tracks: 'Sink or Swim' and 'Down In the Mine'.
Hurricane Carter Benefit (Double) - Audience recordings. Cover slip says SODD label. Labels themselves say World Records etc.
Hold the Fort for What It's Worth (Double). Audience recordings. Cover printed both sides; slight creasing bottom left. Cover says Wicked Messanger Records; labels themselves say Dragonfly Records and claim musical content as 'The Sounds of the 60's - A Musical Documentary'. Cover also claims coloured vinyl, but vinyl is black. Includes a track which the manufacturers have titled 'Where Did Vincent Van Gogh?'.
Note re UK shipping: I've quoted Royal Mail Standard Parcels at £9.30. If you want Royal Mail with insurance, that goes to £21.
Note re international shipping: Ebay lets the seller quote only one international cost, so have had to assume furthest possible destination. It will probably be a lot cheaper than the figure quoted, so please email me for shipping cost.
