Bob Dylan's third studio album was a masterpiece of early 60's folk political activism and gentle melodies replete with meaningful political subtext. It aged with remarkable grace, despite its almost radical left-wing political message the album carries. A pretty hard-to-find album in the very nice condition (copies on this, first "guaranteed fidelity" mono Columbia label are becoming incredibly scarce). Track listing: Times They Are A-Changin' --- Ballad Of Hollis Brown --- With God On Our Side --- One Too Many Mornings --- North Country Blues --- Only A Pawn In Their Game --- Boots Of Spanish Leather --- When The Ship Comes In --- Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carol --- Restless Farewell.  Finding a still sealed original copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The album is believed to come with the original insert/lyrics sheet still intact, , SUCH AS THE ONE SHOWN BELOW, FROM OUR PREVIOUS AUCTION .

(c)           The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Stereo  pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its mono  counterpart. The mix is more graphic, the sound resolution more precise, and the channel separation (which does not exist on mono version) adds a whole new dimension to the music. Also, the stereo mixes are (by definition) somewhat different than on the mono version. We estimate that mono copies of this album outnumber stereo copies  by a ratio of at least 5:1.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
