TITLE:                      “BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME”

PRESSING:              1965 “Early” Second Pressing MONO LP

CATALOG #:           COLUMBIA  CL 2328

LABELS:                   Very clean “Red” labels with “COLUMBIA” in white along top. “360 SOUND  MONO  360 SOUND” in white along bottom.

Comments:                Scarce LP to locate in Mono format.

 

                                                CONDITION  ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)

COVER:                    VG++

Comments:                Very clean glossy “pastedown” cover displays bright, vivid colors with ever so slight, barely noticeable ring (see photograph). No marks or writing, No major creasing, No seam splits, and No cut out marks, discount holes or bar codes. Light corner/edge wear and a few minor paper wrinkles adjacent to the spine are the only minor flaws and mentioned for accuracy. Overall, this is a very clean cover considering the amount of “white” used for both sides of the cover.

VINYL:                      Very strong VG+

Comments:                Glossy “Thick” vinyl with a few minor rubs and some insignificant faint hairlines (No scratches) seen mainly under bright light from sliding in and out of the original inner sleeve. There is a light spindle mark seen on side 1 that does not affect play. The vinyl has been play tested and plays very nicely throughout the recording with the exception of a few soft pops on side 2, but there are absolutely No skips on either side of the album.

INNER SLEEVE:    Original and correct “half-moon” shaped plastic baggie used by COLUMBIA during the late fifties to mid-sixties, and during the time of release of this LP.  

Comments:                Mono pressing copies of this popular Bob Dylan release are extremely difficult to locate in collectible condition. LP features many classic early Bob Dylan songs including “Subterranean Homesick Blues”, “Love Minus Zero/No Limit”, “Gates Of Eden”, “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”, and of course one of his biggest hits ever “Mr. Tambourine Man”!!
