BOB DYLAN – Unplayed Mint Stereo Six-Eye 1st Pressing Debut Album /Ultra Rare! SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS & MEMORABILIA. Here is something weve never seen, in 45+ years of record collectinga likely unplayed Stereo first pressing of Bob Dylans 1962 debut album, with the six-eye Columbia label. Only the earliest pressings had the six-eye label, with Columbia coincidentally changing their label design almost immediately after this albums release. Adding to its desirability, this copy comes from the collection of the late Theo Bikel, one of Dylans earliest supporters, who urged Dylan to travel to the American South to see the Civil Rights struggle up close, and when his manager, Albert Grossman, refused to pay for the trip, Bikel himself bought Dylan an airplane ticket. Dylan, Bikel, Pete Seeger and The Freedom Singers participated at a voter registration rally in Greenwood, Mississippi, with Dylan performing Only A Pawn In Their Game. The disc here is in mint condition, and shows absolutely no sign of play, with no wear and not even a single spindle mark on either label. The cover, in vg+ condition, has some light wear and Bikels white tape label with indexing notations, which he put on all of his records. The cover has the Numeral 2 on the back right hand corner. Very likely the cleanest surviving example of this extremely rare album, with exceptional provenance. Our accompanying letter of authenticity will detail that we acquired this directly from Bikels estate.
