BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! This collection features nine vinyl LP records by Bob Dylan, encompassing studio albums, live recordings, and compilations released by Columbia Records. The group features notable early mono pressings with the red Columbia two-eye label design.

The collection includes the following titles:

The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (Columbia CL 1986): Mono, 12-inch LP. Features the red Columbia two-eye label with white and black text, "Nonbreakable" text, and "Mono" at the bottom center flanked by two white "walking eye" logos. The front cover has a handwritten ink notation in the upper left corner reading "ORIGINAL MONO."

Bringing It All Back Home (Copy 1, Columbia CL 2328): Mono, 12-inch LP. Features the red Columbia two-eye label with white and black text, "Nonbreakable" text, and "Mono" at the bottom center flanked by two white "walking eye" logos. The outer plastic sleeve has a handwritten ink notation reading "ORIGINAL MONO ‘2 EYE’."

Bringing It All Back Home (Copy 2, Columbia CS 9128): Stereo, 12-inch LP.

Desire (Columbia PC 33893): Released in 1976, includes the original printed inner sleeve.

Hard Rain (Columbia PC 34349): Live album released in 1976.

Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits (Two Copies, Columbia PC 9463): Originally released in 1967.

Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Vol. II (Columbia PG 31120 / C 31120): Two-LP compilation set released in 1971, featuring red Columbia labels with repeated yellow/gold Columbia logos and text around the rim.

Labels are generally clean, showing the classic Columbia designs of their respective eras. The records are housed in a mixture of original inner sleeves, generic paper sleeves, and outer plastic protective sleeves.


Condition report:

The collection shows moderate handling and age-related wear throughout. Cover jackets exhibit varying degrees of edge and corner wear, surface rubbing, ring wear, and minor creasing. Several covers and outer sleeves have handwritten annotations in black ink. One generic white paper inner sleeve shows significant brown liquid staining. The vinyl surfaces have not been fully play-tested; however, visual inspection of the labels reveals them to be generally clean with light spindle trails. Most items are preserved in outer plastic sleeves.
