Original 1st US Stereo "For Demonstration Use Only Not For Sale" limited edition promo release with the still factory sealed vinyl in a perforated plastic baggy. Alternate -1A / -1A pressing with a different longer version of "From a Buick 6" containing an extended harmonica intro. Please take into consideration that the alternate version of the track exists in the Stereo format only. The opened cardboard cover remains in the original shrink wrap that contains an original "Featuring Like a Rolling Stone" rectangular sticker on the front along with a red "FREE Includes a Striking Portrait Suitable For Framing" round sticker. The bottom left-hand corner of this promotional copy's front cover contains a "For Demonstration Use Only Not For Sale" white sticker underneath the shrink wrap. Original 1st run cardboard cover with the word "Meaningful" (Phrase: "the subject matter - tho meaningful as it is...") in the liner notes on the back, which was later changed to "Meaningless", and "7" in the bottom right-hand corner meaning that the cover was printed by Modern Album Finishing Co., most likely, in Terre Haute, IN.

This limited edition "For Demonstration Use Only Not For Sale" copy contains a portrait-style 9" x 12" poster of Bob Dylan on textured paper as indicated by the red hype sticker, suggesting that the portrait is "suitable for framing". The portrait was included only with the earliest 1st pressing copies and only one day after the album was released Stan Kavan, the vice-president of merchandising and advertising for Columbia Records, wrote to the company's distributors enclosing the portrait and advising that it would be packed "under the shrink wrap on the liner side" of "all copies of your initial shipment as well as reorders for the next few weeks or as long as the supply lasts". Original 1st print Columbia Records Two-Eye "360 Sound" with the "NONBREAKABLE" text below the catalog number CS-9189 (The second release doesn't have the "NONBREAKABLE" banner). 1st US Stereo promo vinyl remains factory sealed in its original perforated plastic baggy release with the clearly visible 1st matrix stampers -1A / -1A.

The cover is in gorgeous Near Mint condition. The vinyl is in Mint condition with the baggy being fully intact and not having any splits or tears.
