AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
General Information
Artist: Bob Dylan
Album: Bob Dylan
Label: Columbia
Catalog Number: CL 1779
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono
Country: US
Released: 1962
Description
This is the monaural pressing of Bob Dylan's self-titled debut LP. The jacket features the original Columbia eye logo and high-fidelity monaural branding. The front cover includes the 1962 copyright notice at the bottom left. 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.
Condition
Vinyl: Presumed MINT (unplayed)
Cover: Factory-sealed, never opened (bends on corners). The spine remains sturdy and the text is legible. There is a vintage retail price sticker (Code Letter C) still present on the shrink wrap, indicating its age and authentic retail history.
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.
