Bob Dylan
Columbia CL 1779
MONO
Originally released March 1962
This copy after August 1965
I bought this LP new in the Summer 1967.
Cover - Shrink on, torn away a bit from the open end on the top back corner. No writing. No cover splitting. Corner bumps. C in circle on back top right is EJ Korvette’s pricing stamp.
Vinyl - Some rubs, finger print-like marks. Few other light marks. Plays with hardly any tics.
Sleeve - Clear plastic.

Vinyl weight - 4 7/8 oz, 137g
From analogplanet I find that for -1K and -1L, that K and L indicate the second set of masters/lacquers used for pressing. The “1’s” indicate the lacquers were still from the original “program” or tape.
I get information for dating this LP from searchingforagem(dot com).
Easiest way to get to it is type “bob dylan cl 1779 us searchingforagem” into your browser and click on that site.
In the section “Columbia CL 1779 (USA), late 1962-1967 (second to fifth mono releases)”
they have several examples.
This copy is closest to the 4th mono commercial release, in that the labels have 360 SOUND, ARROWS and MONO in white, “NONBREAKABLE” appears to left of spindle hole. Side 1, Track 1 is listed on label as
“SHE’S NO GOOD”.
“The fourth and fifth commercial releases date from after Aug 1965”
So this copy was pressed between August 1965 and probably August 1967.
“4” on back cover, bottom right -
Imperial Packing Co., Inc., Indianapolis, IN did cover printing.
Bob’s debut, with covers of classics and enough original material to let the us know the music world was about to get a jolt. Not only do we get Bob’s delightful phrasing, humor, insights, we need to be reminded now and then how well he could play guitar.
