Description

Super Rare Original 1965 UK 1st Pressing of the Classic 'Highway 61 Revisited' by Bob Dylan!!! On UK 1st Press Textured Orange CBS Record Labels with 1st Press A1//B1 Matrix & 1st Issue Laminated Flipback Sleeve!!! The Best Sounding UK Mono 1st Press You Will Ever Hear - Plays ***Nr Mint*** & in Stunning Ex++/ Ex Visual Condition Throughout!!! Very, Very Rare Like This!!!

From my own pristine Nr Mint collection of rare 1960's & 70's Prog/Psych/Rock & Folk, you are bidding on the Mega Rare  ORIGINAL 1965 UK CBS textured orange CBS label 1st Pressing of what is arguably Dylan's finest hour; Highway 61 Revisited!!! This record is probably the most sought-after UK Bob Dylan 1st press out there - this is because it is seen by many as Dylan's finest work (I rate it second only to Blond on Blond). It is a legendary LP and to find the UK Mono 1st pressing with textured labels and flipback sleeve is a very rare occurrence indeed today. However what makes this record even more outstanding is its amazing condition! This record looks plays like an absolute dream; it is the best copy of Highway 61 I have ever seen or heard by a million miles! Firstly the sound is absolutely spectacular; it plays as new! It has NONE of the nasty loud crackle you associate with Dylan's the early textured label CBS LP's (this was caused by the crude heavy blunt Mono needles of the 1960's) - it just plays virtually silent between tracks!  This is that very rarest of things, an early Dylan LP that has never seen a 60's Mono needle! You will look for a very long time (probably never find) another UK Mono 1st press copy of Highway 61 Revisited that plays like this; whoever is lucky enough to win this will be the owner of something very special indeed. Please don't miss this one!

This record came from an MASSIVE Nr MINT Bob Dylan collection I purchased some years ago, more of which will come over the following weeks/months... To see more very rare UK 1st pressings and rarities please click here

Cat No:

CBS BPG 62572

1st Press Matrix:

Side 1 - 62572-1A-1

Side 2 - 62572-1B-1

The classic 1st press orange textured CBS centre labels are in stunning Nr Mint condition with NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! Importantly, there are are only the faintest traces of spindle wear.The gramophone rims containing the all important 1st press matrix's are also mint!!!

The record still retains ALL its original gloss and shine and has NO dulling and NO nasty greying of the grooves!!! It is on of the nicest/cleanest copies I have ever com across - and that's before we come to the play-grade!. It has its full mirror shine and just one or two light waxy hairlines that do not effect the playing of this record at all;. Visually it easily grades as Excellent (most would call it Nr Mint)

Now we get to the play grade and what can I say - this will blow you away! It has obviously has NO jumps, NO skips NO nasty loud pops - but just as importantly; it has none of that aforementioned interfering constant crackle!!! It is the probably the best example you will hear! The thick quality pressed chunky 1960's vinyl looks and feels great (it is very heavy!). I would easily play-grade this vinyl as Near Mint condition!!!

The original 1st press Mono laminated flipback sleeve is in super condition!!! It has retained all it stiffness and has NO Tears and NO Seam Wear At All!!! The laminate is breathtaking, it still glistens and almost looks wet in appearance! There is none of the usual laminate cracking to the spine (or anywhere else!) and virtually NO laminate creasing at all (there are just 3 tiny laminate creases coming in from the spine and that's it!) The opening edge is Razor Sharp with NO feathering at all! There are NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! There is very little wear to the corners!!! The sleeve lies perfectly FLAT with and a good strong spine with Mint legible spine text!!! The white unlaminated reverse side is in superb condition. It has virtually none of the staining and discolouration you usually see. This sleeve easily grades as a Excellent if not better!!! Believe me, like all our other records this is in no way over-graded!!! I have tried to show you the record from all angles using extra large images. If you are not sure of anything just email me - I will be happy to help. Don't underestimate the rarity of this LP - finding a UK test pressing of anything by Nick Drake is impossible today; Good Luck!

Do not underestimate the rarity of this record as a UK 1st press in this condition .Complete UK 1st press copies are in very high demand today. If you have never heard it, you will be hard pushed to find another copy that plays more pristinely than this- the aural quality will blow you away!!! If you are a collector/investor, the price of this record will just rise and rise. An absolutely essential (and often overlooked) Dylan record to own in this complete and beautiful condition!!! Don't miss this one!!!

Please read - It has recently been pointed out to me that some eBay sellers have been using my images without permission. If you are thinking of lifting some images from my pages - please don't. You will be reported and your auction will be removed by eBay. It's not that I mind, in fact its kinda flattering, my real problem is that whoever does this is not showing a true image of the actual record they are selling. The condition of old 1960's & 70's records varies greatly, no two are in exactly the same condition when they are this age. All my pictures are very specific to the actual records I sell and it is wholly misleading to to show these images with reference to a different record - whoever does this is not being fair to the buyer. Thanks for reading.

I will be selling my entire UK 1st Press collection of 1960/70's Psych/Prog./Beat/Rock & Folk over the coming months, most of these records are in Mint- condition, many having 3 figure book prices. All will be listed here on eBay UK, most with a £2.99 start and No Reserve - bookmark my pages. Like the vast majority of my collection, this record has been archived upright in a thick outer PVC sleeve in a smoke & damp free environment since purchase!

All my records have No reserve, a Low Start and No Surcharges!

We always combine postage so if you win more than 1 auction you save money on postage costs! We will only ship to non-UK countries via Airmail - we do not use surface mail, it is way too slow and thus increases the risk of records being damaged during transit.

A little note about insurance - Please read carefully... If the value of your record(s) is over £30, your invoice will include an insured option. Being the responsible adults you are, it is entirely up to you to take this up  - we strongly advise you to do this but will not hassle you about it. You either add the required insurance or you don't. If you do add the required insurance and your record is lost/damaged, you will get a refund.

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available.

We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
