Offered for sale is an original 1962 U.S. MONO PROMO pressing of Bob Dylan,the self-titled debut LP by Bob Dylan. I am open to trades, but they must easily match the value.

Background:Bob Dylan’s 1962 debut got the attention of a few critics, but didn’t do much in the way of sales until later in the decade when he became somewhat more famous. The first album consisted mostly of cover tunes; it wasn’t until his next album,The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, that he started to record mostly self-penned material.
Bob Dylanwent almost unnoticed upon the original release in 1962, though it did reach #13 on the UK charts, likelyafterhe had success with later efforts.
