1968 pressing of Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan, in excellent condition.

The vinyl bears a very few very light surface marks, as you would expect in a record of this age, but nothing that affects the sound quality.

The sleeve too is in excellent condition. There are a couple of tiny bits of damage, and a bit of wear to the top and bottom of the spine - see final three pictures for an accurate depiction.

I've owned this record since it was first issued, so obviously it isn't mint, but I have always looked after my records and the condition very much reflects that.

The photographs above are all of the actual record I am selling, not stock photographs. I always try to give as accurate information as possible, but if you would like more details or photographs, just ask and I'll be happy to oblige.

And now for the stuff that really interests us middle-aged vinyl geeks - the minutiae of what is and isn't where on the sleeve, labels, and runout grooves!
