Description
Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited LP- Earliest & Rarest UK First Pressing. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
The labels look exceptional and the jacket is VG+. It looks nicer but the top left has somewhat of a bend in it. Otherwise it’s great. The vinyl is awesome. Side 1 looks EX at a minimum and looks NM to me. Side 2 has a couple of hairlines but would still grade as EX. The information on the rarity of this pressing is below which is from the listing from when I fought it. Also comes with the original inner sleeves.
This is a very rare ORIGINAL1965 UK STEREO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Textured' Orange CBS label. IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE AND IS THE EARLIEST' UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING Made.
IT HAS SOME AMAZING DETAILS THAT ALL LATER STEREO PRESSINGS SIMPLY DID NOT HAVE; AS BACK IN 1965 IN THE UK, DEMAND WAS SMALL. MOST SHOPS DIDNT EVEN STOCK STEREO's AS STANDARD - AND THESE WERE ONLY EVER AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY. SO IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY A 'TRUE' UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING CORRECTLY - AS THEY ARE SO INCREDIBLY RARE. IN FACT, IT IS VERY TRUE TO SAY THAT ONLY A FEW HUNDRED OF THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS COPIES WERE EVER MADE LIKE THIS.
FIRSTLY, THE ORANGE LABELS ARE FULLY & HEAVILY 'TEXTURED', HAVE THE 'THICKEST' CBS BLOCK LOGO (LATER ONES ARE THINNER!), AND CARRY THE ALL IMPORTANT '33' LABEL TEXT (THIS WAS LATER CHANGED TO 33 1/3) SECONDLY THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS INCORRECTLY PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF BOTH LABELS AS:- '62575 A' & '62575 B' (THIS ERROR WAS CORRECTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY) THIRDLY THE COVER HAS THE 'SPBG 62572' CAT NUMBER 'PRINTED' (NOT STICKERED!) BELOW THE 'STEREO' LOGO ON THE BACK LEFT (LATER ONES HAD THIS BELOW THE CBS LOGO ON THE RIGHT) AND LASTLY THE COVER HAS 2 LARGE 'STEREO' LOGOS PRINTED IN THE TOP MIDDLE OF THE COVER FRONT (UNDER THE LAMINATE!) AND IN THE TOP LEFT OF THE COVER BACK AGAIN - THIS ONLY EVER APPLIED TO UK STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY.
