Anybody familiar with a similar jacket "small number 7", and record label with triple "CBS" logo? (So no "Columbia", no arrows) Matrix numbers (etched) "XLP- 110638" & "XLP-110639". No country of origin on the labels. Could be very well an uncontrolled version.

A must own for any music fan. Just timeless from start to finish. Pretty unforgiving mastering on a nice system, but that’s easily overlooked.

If you came here looking for the greatest album in the history of rock music, then you are in the correct place.

Slight variant for me:
Matrix: C2 1A CK09189 14

I know I did not buy this through a club so did not bother checking the club listings.

The greatest album ever made. A must have for every person alive. Seriously

It's violently tearing apart the conventions of American folk that Bob Dylan emerged from while redefining the history of the American folk-blues stew that created rock and roll, creating seamless and detailed narratives of societal cynicism, poetic reflection, and rocking frustration, all bound up in layers of literate surrealism, which wouldn't be as important alone - if the album also didn't provide some of the most hard-hitting and revolutionary rock of all time.

How to make the best album ever: Start off with the best rock song ever written, snarling, spitting venom, likely to bite anyone dumb enough to come close. Add seven absolutely flawless songs. End with 11 minutes plus of the best song ever, it's not rock and roll, it's not really folk, it's that unique Dylan genre, it's Desolation Row and it just never ever gets any better than this. "At midnight, all the agents, and the super human crew..." Shivers down my spine after 1000 listenings.

From Like a Rolling Stone to Desolation Row and not an ounce of fat between the finest surreal images in all contemporary music.
