Bob Dylan (as Zimmerman): "Ten Of Swords" (10 LPs in Box) 1985, UK?/Tarantula CL 16319. Discs are all in beautiful EX to M- shape with the exception of a couple of scuffs on side 19 that do not sound, and several light marks on side 2 that make a few passing ticks (VG grade for this side). The box was designed with separate top and bottom halves, the top (outer) half has one split corner, while the bottom (inner) half has two split corners. All four corners of the closed box have dents from shipping; the box gets a VG+ grade. Has the booklet in M- shape.  This Ten Of Swords is different than the other copies I've seen. The discs appear to be UK pressings, and the ten white inner sleeves have the telltale "shaped" corners. If this version has ever been documented, I'm not aware of it. It's definitely from the mid-1980s, as I've had it since then.  Ten Of Swords contains rare and/or unreleased demos, studio outtakes and live recordings from 1961-1966. The sound quality is superb throughout; this set definitely has major-label production values. Much of the material had been issued on TMOQ/headshop LPs before, but the sources used for Ten Of Swords were superior across the board, and 33 years later have still not been bettered! Here's a track lineup, with sources, as shown in the booklet... the recording dates were culled from online research: Side 1: "Minnesota Hotel" demo tape, Dec 22, 1961 (Part 1) Candy Man

Everything I offer is guaranteed. I try to note any flaws with the disc and the cover so that there are no surprises when the box arrives. Be sure to view my other iamthewitch auctions as I have other interesting items up for grabs this week.

I ship all records in strong cardboard mailers with cardboard flats added to increase stability. The discs are always removed from the jackets to prevent seam splits, and all albums are dressed in plastic sleeves for travel. Please be aware that these supplies are expensive to purchase and may represent a small portion of my shipping charges. I pack/ship one day per week, usually it is Friday.

SHIPPING RATES:

USA: I can send this box set to you by Media Mail for $7.00, or by Priority Mail, which will be calculated after the auction using your zip code. Most of my customers prefer Media Mail because it is very cheap. Please keep in mind that it's cheap because it is SLOW. I have had Media Mail boxes take two months to travel cross-country.

EVERYWHERE ELSE: If you are not in the USA or Canada,  I can send this box set to you by Priority Airmail for $63.00. This service may not be trackable. If you want online tracking, ask me about mailing options.
