A rare artifact from rock and roll's most transformative era, this 1966 Columbia mono pressing of Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" represents an early run of one of music's most consequential albums. The vinyl shows signs of its age and use, bearing the patina of decades—a testament to its journey through time. For collectors and Dylan devotees, this piece captures the essence of the folk-rock revolution, when Dylan's electric turn sparked both controversy and genius. An authentic window into a pivotal moment in music history.
A significant collectible from Dylan's revolutionary 1966 output: original U.S. mono pressing (Columbia C2L 41) featuring the scarce withdrawn inner-gatefold with Claudia Cardinale photography. This early Terre Haute first-run pressing bears authentic wear consistent with its age—vinyl shows heavy marking, audible surface noise, and a locked groove on "Just Like a Woman," suitable primarily for display or archival purposes. Cover exhibits moderate ring wear and toning with intact seams; the withdrawn photo remains the defining collectible element. Matrix markings confirm Terre Haute production. An essential acquisition for serious Dylan discographers and vintage vinyl enthusiasts seeking original pressings from rock's most pivotal era.
