In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

MEGA RARE ORIGINAL 1971 FIRST PRESS
..
~ BOB DYLAN ~
The Villager
USA - STEVE & KATHY RECORDS -504
Original 1971 first press in THICK gatefold cover, a DOUBLE LP ... very rare indeed we have not even remotely come near another copy anywhere in the past 10-20 - more? years ...
This 1971 double LP was released on the Kathy and Steve Label by the folks who would later become Berkeley Records. The (thick) cover is blank white with an insert printed in pink. Full printed Kathy/ Steve labels.
As far as collectibility goes; it was a highly sought after piece for collectors of this type of material.
The front cover photo is a 1965 Daniel Kramer shot. The material on the album has never been officially released on official releases. It's mainly the Gaslight material and 'Gleason's' tape.
The rarity of the album stems from a few facts. First of all, there was a very small run produced. The title itself evoked all kinds of speculation and rumors in the early 70's. A lot of people talked of the existence of this record, but few had seen it.
This LP set a record in Europe in 1976 as the highest price ever paid for a bootleg album. The album changed hands for an incredible $400! One of the reasons for this high price was not only the speculation of the early 70's, and the fact that it was an import in Europe ... but an incredible looking full printed cover. As it turns out, the cover had been a one or two of a kind silk-screen ... not done by the manufacturer, but by a printer who wanted to create a wonderful looking cover for his album. Putting a value on this cover is a very subjective thing and better left to the discretion of the buyer/seller.
