VINYL TITLE — ARTIST (YEAR) • CATALOG Artist: Bob Dylan Title: Bob Dylan Format: Vinyl LP, 12", Mono Label: Columbia – CL 1779 Country: USA Year: 1962 Edition: Original 1st Pressing PROMO – Red 6-Eye Label with “DEMONSTRATION – NOT FOR SALE” Overprint Genre: Folk / Acoustic / Singer-Songwriter Style: Contemporary Folk, Traditional Folk 💿 DESCRIPTION Original 1962 U.S. promotional first pressing of Bob Dylan’s debut LP, sent to radio stations and reviewers before the commercial release. Unlike later promo styles, this early Columbia issue uses the standard red 6-eye labels with a factory-printed “DEMONSTRATION RECORD – NOT FOR SALE” overlay. This is the correct promo configuration for Bob Dylan — Columbia did not issue this title with white labels. The jacket is the early heavy cardboard MONO paste-on cover , and the back slick bears the authentic pink “DEMONSTRATION – NOT FOR SALE” rubber stamp typical for 1962 promo distribution. The vinyl contains the earliest mastering sequences: XLP-55619-1A (Side 1) XLP-55620-1A (Side 2) Both sides carry a “D” stamper/plant mark, consistent with early Columbia mastering and pressing. 💎 CONDITION VINYL: excellent to near mint (EX to NM) COVER: very good plus (VG+) (aging, rubbing, lower edge wear, spotting, paper loss on back; promo stamp strong and readable) 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS Authentic 6-Eye red label promo , NOT a white label. Original front cover with “A New Star on Columbia Records” starburst sticker. Back cover includes the factory pink “DEMONSTRATION – NOT FOR SALE” stamp. Back slick has the printed number “4” in the lower-right corner , indicating the cover was manufactured by Columbia’s jacket plant #4 — consistent with early 1962 first-press covers . Includes correct early liner notes by Robert Shelton. True first pressing metal parts: 1A / 1A . Significant rarity: early Columbia promos were printed in extremely small quantities. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Side A: NBLP-7152-AS / STERLING (etched or stamped) Side B: NBLP-7152-BS / STERLING Label: Casablanca blue “film reel” design – ℗ 1979 Casablanca Record and FilmWorks, Inc.
