BOB DYLANS'S 4TH LP ISSUED IN 1965. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE ALBUM.
SLEEVE
THIS SINGLE SLEEVE IS LAMINATED ON THE FRONT FACE AND NON LAMINATED ON THE BACK. IT IS AN E.J.DAY AND CO LTD SLEEVE AND AS SUCH HAS THE FAMOUS FLIPBACKS.
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, SHOWING NO CREASING OR BENDING TO THE SLEEVE AT ALL. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A SMALL THUMB LINE JUST INSIDE THE OPENING EDGE, BUT THEY ARE BARELY VISIBLE.
THERE IS A LITTLE BROWNING OF THE WHITENESS OF THE SLEEVE AROUNF THE EDGES, BUT AGAIN THIS IS FAIRLY LOW KEY. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES SHOW ABSOLUTE MINIMAL SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND RETAINS ALL OF THE LAMINATE COATING. TSHE OPENING EDGE IS UNFEATHERED, AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NICKS TO PROVE THT THE LP HAS ACTUALLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS FREE OF ANY PEN MARKS AND HAS ERFECT FLIPBACKS. THERE AGAIN IS SOME BROWNING OF THE OPEING EDGE, AND SOME LIGHT GENERAL AGEING. OVERALL THIS IS A SUPER LOOKING SLEEVE, NOT MINT, BUT IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE IT EX
THE LABELS ARE THE ORANGE CBS LABELS, AND THE GIVE AWAY THAT THESE ARE FIRST PRESS LABELS RATHER THAN A REISSUE IS THAT THEY ARE TEXTURED WHEREAS THE REISSUES WERE SMOOTH. BOTH LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THERE ARE FEWER THAN 10 SPIDER LINES ON EACH SIDE,
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW LP, AND ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS REALLY 41 YEARS OLD. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS SPOTLESS SHOWING NO MARKS, SCUFFS, OR SCRATCHES, UNDER SPOTLAMP CONDITIONS THERE ARE A FEW REALLY SHORT AND VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES. THESE I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE WILL NOT AFFECT THE PLAY AND THEREFORE THE QUALITY OF THE SOUND
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE REVEALS THE RUN IN GROOVE TO BE NEAR SILENT.
THE LP PLAYS WITH BEAUTIFUL CLARITY AND THIS INDICATED THAT AS THERE IS NO DISTORTION THAT THE LP HAS BEEN PLYED ON A DECENT SYSTEM WHICH HASN'T HAD A WORN STYLUS ON IT
THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF LIGHT BACKGROUND, AND ONE OR TWO LITTLE POPS IN PLACES, BUT THIS REALLY IS A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE DYLAN OFFEREING, AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS EX PLUS
WOULD MAKE A VALUABLE COLLECTIBLE ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION
