General Information Artist: Bob Dylan Title: Bringing It All Back Home Label: Columbia Catalog number: CL 2328 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Year: 1965 Country: USA Edition: First Mono Pressing Genre: Folk Rock / Rock & Roll Description Released in March 1965, Bringing It All Back Home is the fifth studio album by Bob Dylan and represents one of the most significant shifts in the history of popular music. It is the album where Dylan famously "went electric," splitting the tracklist between an electric rock-and-roll side and a solo acoustic side. The album contains some of his most iconic work, including "Subterranean Homesick Blues," "Maggie's Farm," and "Mr. Tambourine Man." The cover photograph, taken by Daniel Kramer, features Dylan with Sally Grossman and is filled with symbolic artifacts, capturing the zeitgeist of the mid-60s. Condition Vinyl: Presumed MINT (unplayed) Cover: Factory-sealed, never opened (small part of the original shrink wrap is missing on mouth side, see pics) Notes for collectors This is a rare, museum-quality find: an original 1965 "Guaranteed High Fidelity" Mono first pressing in its original factory seal. This specific copy is highly significant due to the absence of a printing plant number on the lower right corner of the back cover. This detail identifies the item as a True First Print from the very first batch produced before Columbia distributed printing orders across all regional plants. Version with no number is the rarest and most sought-after variation among Dylan enthusiasts. Finding a first-press Mono copy (preferred by audiophiles for its punchy, authentic mix) that remains factory-sealed and features the "clean" back cover is an incredible rarity and a definitive investment piece. Matrix/Labels Matrix numbers: Presumed early stampers (e.g., XLP-79421 / XLP-79422) Manufacturer: Columbia Records Label Details: Red "Two-Eye" Columbia labels with "MONO" or "Guaranteed High Fidelity" at the bottom. Markings: Printed in U.S.A. (back cover); No printing plant code number on rear.
