Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

 

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and poly-lined rice paper sleeves..

 

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

 

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

  • This Double LP is a Live recording that is widely acclaimed as Morrison's finest live recording. It is also one of his 10 best-selling albums in the US.
  • Recorded Live in Concert June 24 - July 24, 1973
    Troubadour in Los Angeles, California 
    Santa Monica Civic, Santa Monica, California
    Rainbow Theater London, England.
  • This White Label Promotional Copy is a First Pressing that has never been played.
  • The triple gatefold is a single piece board cover with tight seams and stiff spines.
  • The Promo sticker is on the front cover.
  • The inner sleeves are the WB Loss Leaders and historic Burbank scenes. I have included poly-lined rice paper sleeves.
  • This beautiful rarity is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Warner Bros. Records in 1974. It has been in storage for 44 years.
