THIS MEGA RARE CBS/SONY  7" SINGLE  CBSA 82059 IS PART OF THE CBS/SONY "AIRPLAY" SERIES AND HAS A "BOEING 747" SLEEVE ( ONE OF 2 VARIANTS ) AND A FOLDED INSERT. THE REAR OF THE INSERT LISTS DYLAN ALBUMS WITH RELEASE DATES UP TO 1971, SO THIS IS A LATER ISSUE - THE CATALOGUE NUMBER DATES THE SINGLE AS 1969 ? . IT WAS AVAILABLE IN BOTH PROMO (YELLOW LABEL) AND COMMERCIAL (ORANGE LABEL) RELEASES.  BOTH THE PROMO AND THE FIRST COMMERCIAL RECORDS HAVE THE UNUSUAL THREE-SPOKE SPIDER PUSH-OUT CENTRES, LATER ONES HAVE A LARGE CENTRE HOLE AND A THIRD " BOEING 747" SLEEVE DESIGN. EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A STEREO SERIES, THESE TRACKS ARE STILL IN MONO. THE B-SIDE IS TIMED AT 3:15 . THE UNIQUE FOLDED LYRIC SHEET AND AIRPLAY SLEEVE ARE NEAR MINT, AND THE SHAPED INNER SLEEVE AND OUTER ACETATE SLEEVE ARE PRESENT. THIS WAS BOUGHT ON EBAY AS BEING NEAR MINT, BUT IN FACT THE VINYL THOUGH CLEAN HAS MINOR SURFACE MARKS ON SIDE B - WHICH PLAYS AS NEW, THE A SIDE HAS TWO SKIPS WHEN PLAYED WITH A LIGHT PICK-UP , BUT PLAYS OK IF THE PICK UP IS HEAVIER. RINGS ARE VISIBLE ON THE VINYL ON SIDE A WHERE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. I TRY TO BE ACCURATE  WITH DESCRIPTIONS. IT IS A REALLY NICE COPY APART FROM THIS ISSUE, A MINT COPY WOULD BE PRICED WELL INTO 3 FIGURES.


BUY WITH CONFIDENCE FROM AN ebay SELLER WITH  3351 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACKS. THE RECORD WILL BE SHIP SEPARATED FROM THE SLEEVE. A FULL REFUND IF NOT SATISFIED WITH THE ITEM. REFUNDS FOR LOST ITEMS CAN ONLY BE GIVEN IF YOU PAY FOR 'SIGNED FOR' POSTAGE.    WILL COMBINE POSTAGE - IF APPLICABLE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE
