I purchased this album at the estate sale of a local (Columbus, Georgia) man who owned a vintage jewelry store, and who also sold albums at his shop. This album however seemed to be from his personal collection. I knew him - he collected an amazing variety of interesting items from around the world. I purchased several of the albums in his collection but this one is the most rare and valuable. 
I've taken many pictures from different angles, trying to show the condition of the album and the original plastic. From what I can tell after very close inspection, this is the original plastic and it's still 100% sealed. I have taken this album to two people I know in town who sell/resell albums and they both attest to its condition. I'd be happy to connect any potential buyer to these references. I have a 100% positive seller rating but it has been a while since I was an active seller, as I opted for a while to sell my items at a local vintage market. Please read my feedback to evaluate my experience and my professionalism. Thank you!
All songs written by Bob Dylan, then all recorded on June 9, 1964, and released on August 8, 1964. 
From the album's Wikipedia page:

The first (and only) recording session was held June 9 at Columbia's Studio A, located at 799 Seventh Avenue in New York City. According to Heylin, "while polishing off a couple of bottles of Beaujolais," Dylan recorded 14 original compositions, in a single three-hour session between 7pm and 10pm that night, 11 of which were chosen for the final album. The three that were ultimately rejected were "Denise Denise," "Mr. Tambourine Man," and "Mama, You Been on My Mind."[10]

Nat Hentoff's article on Dylan for The New Yorker, published in late October 1964, includes remarkable descriptions of the June 9 session. Hentoff describes in considerable detail the atmosphere in the CBS recording studio and Dylan's own asides and banter with his friends in the studio, with the session's producers, and Hentoff himself.[11]

Ramblin' Jack Elliott was present during part of this session, and Dylan asked him to perform on "Mr. Tambourine Man." "He invited me to sing on it with him," recalls Elliott, "but I didn't know the words 'cept for the chorus, so I just harmonized with him on the chorus." Only one complete take was recorded, with Dylan stumbling on some of the lyrics.[10] Though the recording was ultimately rejected, Dylan would return to the song for his next album.

By the time Dylan recorded what was ultimately the master take of "My Back Pages," it was 1:30 in the morning. Master takes were selected, and after some minor editing, a final album was soon sequenced.
