Description
The Ultimate "Time Capsule" Acquisition.
Opportunities to own a piece of rock history this well-documented are vanishingly rare. This isn't just an album; it's a preserved moment in time from 1970, authenticated by a high-society rock gala in 1995.
Why this copy justifies a premium investment:
TRUE 1A/1A MATRIX: The dead wax reveals the absolute earliest lacquers cut for this release (1A CTH). Pressed at the legendary Terre Haute plant and mastered at Santa Maria, this is the definitive audiophile version of the album. The sound is wider, warmer, and more punishing than any reissue.
AUTHENTICATED AUTOGRAPHS: Hand-signed in bold black ink by Mike Pinera—the voice and guitar genius of this specific era. Also includes a signed promo photo by Peter Rivera (Rare Earth).
BULLETPROOF PROVENANCE: This listing includes the entire document archive from the 1995 "Classic Rock All-Stars" New Year's Eve Gala at the Sheraton Astrodome. You get the original hotel letters, booking confirmations for Ginger Conklin, and the rare "Arrow 93.7" event flyer. This isn't just an autograph; it’s a story with receipts.
COLLECTOR CONDITION: High-gloss vinyl that retains its 1970 factory luster. The John Kress artwork is vibrant, popping with that original psychedelic saturation.
The "Note Exchange" Promise: We specialize in investment-grade vinyl. This set will be shipped in a heavy-duty, double-walled mailer. The record will be removed from the jacket to prevent seam splits, and all historical ephemera will be housed in archival-safe, acid-free sleeves.
Provenance is King. Don't let this one slip into a private collection before you grab it
