MONO Blonde On Blonde BOB DYLAN 1st U.S Pressing HYPE Cardinale 1966 COLUMBIA CL
MONO Blonde On Blonde BOB DYLAN 1st U.S. pressing at The Pitman Pressing Plant in 1966.
Claudia Cardinale photo later withdrawn. Indicating very first pressing. 2 LP set on 2 eye Columbia labels.
VINYL in G+/VG condition. The sound varies from track to track. There are hairlines and paper scuffs that cause crackle and pops. None that overwhelms the music in my opinion, solid player. I believe this is a Pitman Pressing with a stamped "P" in the runouts. Though it is hard to distinguish a "P" or a upside down "S" that denotes a Santa Maria Pressing. This is definitely not a Terre Haute Pressing that has a "T" in the runouts.
COVER in VG with paint blotch on front cover, corner wear, spine worn with rubbing but still intact. Can no longer read spine info. Ring wear, creasing along edge. Seams are solid with some rubbing.
Hype sticker included. The sticker came off the cover and it is clear to see where it was because residue exists on the spot.
