Description This is a rare, archival-grade copy of Bob Dylan's 1966 masterpiece, Blonde On Blonde. The album is an original US Stereo pressing and remains factory sealed. It has been professionally authenticated, graded, and encapsulated by Vintage Media Grading (VMG). The cover features two prominent and highly desirable "hype" stickers: White Sticker: "Bob Dylan's New Album / Deluxe 2-Record Set / Featuring 'Rainy Day Women #12 & 35' and 'I Want You'." Orange Sticker: "DELUXE (2) TWO RECORD SET." This is the "360 Sound" Stereo version. The item is preserved in a tamper-evident archival acrylic case. 3. Condition VMG Overall Grade: 8.0 (Excellent) Cover: 8.0 Spine: 9.0 Seal: 8.0 Vinyl: Presumed Mint (Sealed/Unplayed) Slab: The acrylic case appears clear and free of cracks or damage based on the images. 4. Notes for collectors Historical Significance: Blonde On Blonde is widely considered one of the greatest albums in rock history. Finding an original 1966 pressing that is still sealed is incredibly rare; finding one with both early hype stickers intact is exceptional. Sticker Rarity: The large white tracklist sticker is a key identifier for early US pressings and adds significant value to the package. Investment Grade: The VMG encapsulation ensures the condition is locked in, protecting the fragile shrink wrap and stickers from future degradation. The high sub-grade on the spine (9.0) indicates that the text remains legible and the structure is sound, which is often a weak point on gatefold double albums. 5.
