Description On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Bob Dylan called "Blonde On Blonde" and is an ORIGINAL 1966 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Textured' CBS labels!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF BOB DYLAN'S RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1966 WHEN THIS DOUBLE LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP EVEN RARER STILL, IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE STEREO!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS DOUBLE LP!!!! WHEN THIS DOUBLE LP WAS FIRST RELEASED BACK IN 1966, NEARLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING WAS MADE IN COMMON MONO - WITH VIRTUALLY NONE IN MEGA RARE STEREO AT ALL!!!! AND DEMAND FOR STEREOs WAS SO TINY BACK IN 1966, THAT MOST SHOPS DIDNT EVEN STOCK STEREOs AS STANDARD - AND THEY WERE ONLY AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY!!!! AS A RESULT, FINDING A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS DOUBLE LP IN MEGA RARE STEREO IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS THE VERY LAST OF THE UK STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - FROM CHRISTMAS 1966!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS DOUBLE LP - AND MAKES IT THE ALL TIME UK BOB DYLAN LP EVER MADE!!!! AS MOST BOB DYLAN COLLECTORS WILL ALREADY KNOW, LATER STEREO PRESSINGS OF THIS LP ARE VERY COMMON INDEED (AND WELL WORTH AVOIDING!) - BUT FINDING QUITE LITERALLY THE VERY LAST UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING FROM CHRISTMAS 1966 IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE (AS ONLY A TINY HANDFUL WERE EVER MADE!)!!!! AND THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE OF THIS DOUBLE LP - AS THIS 1ST PRESSING HAS A DIFFERENT COVER & DIFFERENT LABELS - WHEN COMPARED TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS FROM 1967, 1968 & 1969!!!! INCREDIBLY THIS LP TRULY IS THE VERY LAST UK 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - AS IT HAS A 'PRINTED STEREO' LOGO ON THE FRONT OF THE COVER (1ST PRESS ONLY - LATER ONES DONT, THEY HAD STICKERS INSTEAD!) AND 'INTERNAL FLIPBACKS' TO THE STEREO COVER (LATER ONES DONT - THEY ARE NON-FLIPBACK INSTEAD!)!!!! NOT ONLY THAT - BUT THIS 1ST PRESS STEREO MIX IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO THE MONO MIX AND LATER STEREO COPIES!!!! FOR EXAMPLE 'TEMPORARY LIKE ACHILLES' HAS A MUCH LONGER ENDING ON THIS STEREO VERSION - WHICH THE MONOS SIMPLY NEVER HAD!!!! THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER MIX DIFFERENCES ON OTHER TRACKS TOO - WITH THE ONE ABOVE BEING JUST ONE EXAMPLE!!!! BUT WHAT TELLS YOU THAT THIS WAS THE VERY LAST UK 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE (FROM CHRISTMAS 1966) - IS THAT BOTH RECORDS HAVE THE VERY DISTINCTIVE 'LARGE' 33 1/3 AND THINNER BLOCK LOGO WHICH WAS QUITE LITERALLY ONLY EVER USED ON A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST' 33 1/3's ONLY AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED (LATER COPIES FROM 1967 ONWARDS HAD THE NORMAL 'SMALL' 33 1/3 TEXT INSTEAD!). SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'ALL TIME RAREST' & VERY LAST UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE (FROM CHRISTMAS 1966) - AND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COMPARED TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS DOUBLE LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1966 'LAST EVER' UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS 'TEXTURED' CBS LABELS, 'LAST EVER' LARGE 33 1/3' LABEL TEXT, 1ST PRESS DIFFERENT MIX, AND 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD LAMINATED FLIPBACK 'STEREO' COVER!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL CBS UK 1st Pressing from 1966 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The records are pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SDDP 66012 on the ORIGINAL 'Textured' Orange CBS label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK STEREO 1st Pressing!!!! BOTH record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS DOUBLE LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl on BOTH records is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOK SUPERB!!!! It is also great to find that BOTH records play almost as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! BOTH records must visually grade Excellent+ if not better (with the playing grade only VERY slightly less than this!)!!!! WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SET OF RECORDS!!!! Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The records also come in 2 plain inner sleeves which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold Laminated Flipback STEREO Cover is in GREAT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO stickers, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL (with possible marginal evidence of trimming here)!!!! Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO yellowing, VERY nice flipbacks (with the usual grubbyness to the edges), and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'LAST EVER' UK 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - IN MEGA RARE STEREO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!! HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
