Description
Two of the maestro's earliest works on 1st US pressing vinyl LPs. Awfully difficult to find either intact and in VG playable condition. Both have been well-played, and it shows. Both still have some luster to the wax after all of these years. Both are from the same collection. That said, both do show scuffs and hairlines on all sides. I've tested both on a high-quality Thorens turntable and they play without issue, though a light touch of surface noise is present here and there. Like John Peel said, "Life has surface noise, mate." Spindle markings appear on the labels.The sleeves are intact without any splits. You will clearly see standard signs of wear such as: crease, discoloration, ring and edge rub. The paper lyric sheet is included with Times. Both have plastic rather than paper inner sleeves, as this is quite standard with early Columbia first pressings. One of many qualifiers I'll list for you below.
Here are those qualifiers for both:
Another Side of Bob Dylan CL-2193 (Variant 6) Released on a red Columbia label stating ''guaranteed high fidelity'' at the bottom. Variant 6 has a small 7 at the lower right corner of the back cover (right above the tracklist of side two next to the "Thank you..." credits).
- Matrix / Runout (Variant 6, Side 1 stamped): XLP-77042-2A
- Matrix / Runout (Variant 6, Side 2 stamped): XLP-77043-2G
- Columbia Pitman pressing plant identified by small "P" stamped into deadwax.
- Plastic inner sleeve.

Disk pressed by Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman as indicated by 'P' in runouts.
Sleeves for the Pitman pressings have a small "1" printed in the lower right of the back sleeve next to the song-titles, and both mono and stereo catalog numbers are printed under the "eye" logo at the upper right of the back sleeve. Includes a printed 12"x12" paper insert which continues '11 Outlined Epitaphs' from rear cover.
