Description
Nice copy of this classic Grateful Dead Lp. The cover looks great, and in excellent condition with just the tiniest hint of wear beginning mainly on the seams, no signs of wear otherwise.
The record is in near mint condition with just a whisper of a sleeve hairline here and there. With no spindle marks on the label, and the beautiful condition of the vinyl, it's really hard to know whether the record was actually ever played.
I purchased this lp used in the exact condition you see here in the late 1990s at one of my favorite used record stores in San Jose, I bought it really not to play or listen to but just to ad to my Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Lp collection.
I started collecting these Mobile Fidelity Lps when they first started appearing in the record racks at the local stereo retailers back in 1979. In my area the best place to buy high end stereo equipment was Pacific Stereo. These high end stereo retailers were also the only places you would find Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Lps being sold. Part of the quality sound check was to test the equipment you were interested in by using the immaculate new sound found on these MFSL records, there were no CDs back then. MFSL was it. They were enticingly cool, the see thru vinyl when held under a light, the beautiful sheen on the vinyl, the design of the cover (ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING) and of course the sound quality and quietness of the vinyl. You were sold, and convinced you can only play these MFSL records on the best equipment in the store. The record deserves nothing less. Yep that was me, I'd play them a few times, then feel guilty that maybe I'm going to wear it out if I played it too much. So instead of playing them I'd put them away and look at them once in a while. then CDs arrived.
