Bob Dylan ‎ "Blonde On Blonde"

CBS ‎ S 66012

1975 Dutch pressing. My father reckons he bought it in 1971 but he could be mistaken.

2xU on rear.

Wide spine.

2 × Stereo Vinyl, LPs, housed in an unlaminated gate-fold sleeve with the (later removed) Claudia Cardinale photo.

Inside the sleeve track B2 appears as: "Stuck Inside of Mobile With Thee"

CONDITION:

The records and labels are in NM condition. Beautiful and glossy even before they’ve been cleaned.

Both play beautifully with virtually no surface noise.

The cover is in EX condition. Some very minor edge wear and a few scuffs.

Some very light spotting to glossy interior.

The spine is intact and completely legible.

The paper inners have lyrics handwritten on them.

All in all, a great copy of a great album.

The original inside gate-fold featured nine black-and-white photos, all taken by Schatzberg and selected for the sleeve by Dylan himself. A shot of actress Claudia Cardinale from Schatzberg's portfolio was included but later withdrawn because it had been used without her authorization and Cardinale's representatives threatened to sue, making the original record sleeve a collector's item.

BLURB

I grade carefully and conservatively. I use RECORD COLLECTOR guidelines.

I accept returns. The return postage is paid by the buyer. If I’ve made a massive blunder, however, I will refund your P&P.

All my records are play tested. I may not be able to play all of them all the way through, but if there are surface scratches, I’ll ascertain if they sound or not.

I don’t clean my records prior to sending as everyone has their own methods and solution preferences.

POSTAGE & PACKING

I will always combine shipping for up to 3 albums.

If an album sells for £20 or more, I will only ship by SPECIAL DELIVERY. This is not because I don’t trust you, but because Royal Mail are prone to losing parcels.

I’ll gladly ship outside of the UK, but if an album sells for more than £10, I will only ship with insurance and tracking. There are no exceptions to this I’m afraid.

GRADING GUIDELINES

Near Mint (NM) - A nearly perfect record. Has more than likely been played few times or not at all, and the vinyl will show no imperfections during playback. Sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects. The same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

Excellent (EX) -The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Sleeve may have slight wear or creasing

Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Sleeve, normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable
