  • Bob Dylan – The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (1963 Columbia White Label Promo, Mono, Misprint)


    For serious Bob Dylan collectors: This is an extremely rare Columbia Records white label promotional copy of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan in mono. This radio station service edition includes a unique misprinted label and incorrect time strip—a rare manufacturing anomaly that makes this one of the most highly sought-after Dylan pressings.

     

    Originally released in 1963, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan is one of the most definitive folk albums of all time, featuring Blowin’ in the Wind, Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right, and A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall. This special Columbia Records “Not For Resale” promo copy was distributed exclusively to radio stations and industry insiders, making it far rarer than standard pressings.
