The spine is correctly marked with the LP logo and catalog number CL 1779. The back cover features a small number 4 printed in the bottom right corner. The jacket is still in its original shrink wrap, though the wrap shows signs of age with some tearing and peeling at the corners. There is visible corner wear and slight bumping where the shrink wrap has receded. ๐Ÿ’Ž CONDITION vinyl: Presumed MINT (unplayed) cover: Factory-sealed, never opened (bends on corners) ๐Ÿงพ NOTES FOR COLLECTORS This album is a crucial piece of music history, representing the world's introduction to Bob Dylan. Recorded in just three sessions in November 1961, the album captures Dylan at age 20. This particular copy is a definitive first edition pressing from 1962. A key identifying feature for serious collectors is the digit 4 printed on the lower right of the back cover. This code identifies the jacket fabricator as Imperial Packing Co., Inc., based in Indianapolis, Indiana. In the early 1960s, Columbia Records utilized specific codes to identify their packaging suppliers, and the "4" confirms this as an authentic original jacket from the Indianapolis plant. The 1962 mono version is highly sought after for its raw, direct sound. Early pressings like this one originally came with the Columbia 6-eye label, which was replaced by the 2-eye label later that year, marking this as the earliest state of the release. ๐Ÿ” MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Label: Columbia Mono (6-eye or early 2-eye) ๐Ÿ“ฆ SHIPPING ๐Ÿ“ฎ STANDARD: 5โ€“30 DAYS โ€” FREE SHIPPING โœˆ๏ธ INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY: 5โ€“15 DAYS โ€” 30$ ๐Ÿšš FEDEX EXPRESS: 3โ€“7 DAYS โ€” 65$ WORLD OF AUDIOPHILE (EBAY SELLER) 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK โ€ข FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: @WORLD_OF_AUDIOPHILE โญ LATEST BUYER FEEDBACK โ€œABSOLUTELY STUNNING VINYL!

  1. Absolute flawless international shipping, was fun to see all the stops the package made during delivery, van halen box set was packed professionally and shipped priority without any import tax at all. Item was exactly as described and the only one available anywhere, item was unopened sealed and considered extremely rare from 1984. This was the best experience I've ever had on ebay, all questions were answered directly and promptly. Definitely saving this seller for future purchases. Thank you

  2. The records were as described, honest seller. I wish I had information from seller that the tracking wasnโ€™t to my address, that it was going to a different address, and then being forwarded. Following the tracking had me concerned. So I recommend buyers communicate with the seller to understand that the tracking may not (at least in my case) indicate that it might go to a different address. Once it was forwarded I did receive tracking to my home. Still, great records, safe packaging.
