Description
ATTENTION GRATEFUL DEAD,1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 STEREO 1ST UK ISSUE OF THE ESSENTIAL GRATEFUL DEAD DOUBLE LP:"LIVE/DEAD".
PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS AND THE MUSICIANS INVOLVED.
THIS IS A 1ST PAIR OF PRESSINGS ON THE PYE PRESSED ORANGE WARNER BROTHERS LABEL IN STEREO-THERE WERE NO MONO ISSUES FOR THIS DOUBLE LP:WS 1830/2. IT HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1T/B-1T/C-1T/D-1T MATRIXES.
THERE WERE NOT BIG SALES FOR THIS DOUBLE LP IN THE UK AS IT FAILED TO CHART WITH MOST COPIES SELLING ON STEADY BASIS LATER AS REPRESSES.
WARNER BROTHERS LPs WERE NO LONGER PRESSED UP BY PYE WITHIN A YEAR OF THIS LP BEING ISSUED WITH MOST COPIES TURNING UP AS GREEN LABEL REPRESSES WITH DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS AS DEMONSTRATED ON THE GATEFOLD COVER WHICH IS FROM ABOUT 1972 WHEN THE RARELY SEEN BOOKLET WAS PRINTED! THERE WERE VARIOUS STRIKES AND SHORTAGES IN THE UK DURING 1972 WHICH MAY EXPLAIN FOR THE OLDER DISCS IN A LATER COVER-NOT A DUBIOUS MIX AND MATCH AS WITH SOME DEALERS BUT PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO BID AS I DON'T WANT YOU TO EXPECT AN ORIGINAL COVER WITH THIS SET OF LPs!
THE BOOKLET HAS AN ARTICLE ON THE GRATEFUL DEAD IN EUROPE AS WELL AS TOUR DETAILS SO IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF CONCERT PROGRAMME!
THERE ARE ADVERTS FOR LPs BY THIRD EAR BAND,HUMBLE PIE,VINEGAR JOE AND OTHER GRATEFUL DEAD LPs! ALTHOUGH NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL DOUBLE LP,IT IS A VERY NICE BONUS FOR ANY FAN OR COLLECTOR!
THE RECORDS ARE PRESSED ON VERY THICK,HIGH QUALITY,100% FLAT VINYL! LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL UK 1ST EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT AND SMALL SURFACE MARKS. HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS. STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! NO SPINDLE WEAR.CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES WHICH HAVE THE "MADE IN ENGLAND" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP. THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED. THERE ARE EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS.
PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.ANOTHER GRATEFUL DEAD AND OTHER PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs IN MOSTLY NEAR MINT CONDITION FROM ME ON EBAY FOR AUCTION WITHIN AN HOUR OF THIS AUCTION ENDING!.ALTHOUGH I AM STATING RATES FOR STANDARD 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR/STANDARD AIR MAIL WITH NO INSURANCE-FOR PEACE OF MIND AND AS THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE,I WOULD SUGGEST TO SEND THIS DOUBLE LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IN A SAFE,SOLID PARCEL BUT PERSONAL COLLECTION FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH IS WELCOME AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR RECORDS SOLD FOR TOTAL CONFIDENCE!
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
Checkout my feedback of over 18,000 comments of my standards and service many from some of the world's most respected collectors and dealers.Always adding quality Records, cd's and related items to ebay several times a week. Customers from all over the world regard my ebay selections as the #1 for QUALITY,VARIETY AND SERVICE.
UK Customers are very welcome to collect ebay winnings by prior email arrangement. 12 years on ebay and many more before as a keen collector! Thanks for looking and good luck.
