GRATEFUL DEAD
AMERICAN BEAUTY
Original Master Recording
.
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Records MFSL 1-014
Original 1979 issue Half-Speed Master Audiophile LP
PRESSED in JAPAN by JVC (Victor Company Of Japan, Ltd.)
incl. MOFI 'LP Protector' stiff card fold-over insert.
Super High Definition Vinyl
VINYL is NEAR MINT
Gleaming Gloss Vinyl is immaculate, Side One. Very faint single sleeve sheen wisp on Side Two - otherwise pristine. Labels are pristine both sides.
.
COVER is VG+
Solid, clean and crisp cover has small drill hole in u.r. corner; minor edge wear, mostly top seam. No splits. Very nice spine with fully legible titles text.
Slight 'wide mouth' at opening edge from thick, stiff card MOFI 'LP Protector' insert. Very common with MOFI covers of the period (containing the LP Protector insert. It was a good idea and definitely adds extra support around vinyl, but can't help spreading the cover's opening edge a bit. Most sellers won't mention this, but I believe in full disclosure.
*This effect will go away almost completely over time by simply storing Vinyl and protector insert behind (outside of) cover, with your other snugly shelved LPs.

___________________________________________________
From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend..
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s.
Sadly he has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets,
plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.
Truly a great (and enormous) collection!
.
Mark / Save this listing/eBay ID and check back.
Diligent collectors WILL be rewarded!
