Description

Original 1964 Columbia first pressing of Another Side of Bob Dylan (CS 8993 / XSM 77045), still in original shrink wrap (slit open for access). This stereo edition captures Dylan’s pivotal transition from protest folk to introspective poetry, featuring All I Really Want to Do, Chimes of Freedom, and My Back Pages.

Location and Background: Recorded in New York City on June 9, 1964, this album marks Dylan’s evolution from social commentary to personal reflection. Issued by Columbia Records with the distinctive “two‑eye” red label, it represents a turning point in modern songwriting and remains a cornerstone of American music history.

Why This Specimen Is Unique: A first‑pressing Columbia stereo copy still in shrink wrap is exceptionally scarce. Most examples show heavy wear or missing liners; this one remains pristine, making it a museum‑grade collector’s piece for fans of Dylan and 1960s folk music.

Metaphysical Review: Music as a medium of self‑discovery and truth. Dylan’s lyrics embody transformation, freedom, and creative awakening. Bob Dylan: Insight, expression, transformation, truth, throat chakra energy.
