GRATEFUL DEAD~AMERICAN BEAUTY~1970 GREEN WB LABELS LP~IN SHRINK~WITH STICKER
Product Description
GRATEFUL DEAD "AMERICAN BEAUTY" WARNER BROTHERS 1893 RARE ORIGINAL PRESSING! GREEN LABELS WITH THE "WB" SHIELD. STILL IN SHRINK WRAP (BUT OPEN). GRATEFUL DEAD STICKER ON THE FRONT. COVER IS EXCELLENT EXCEPT FOR A DENT IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER, VINYL IS EX/NEAR MINT WITH VERY LIGHT WEAR. A companion piece to the luminous Workingman's Dead, American Beauty is an even stronger document of the Grateful Dead's return to their musical roots. Sporting a more full-bodied and intricate sound than its predecessor thanks to the addition of subtle electric textures, the record is also more representative of the group as a collective unit, allowing for stunning contributions from Phil Lesh (the poignant opener, "Box of Rain") and Bob Weir ("Sugar Magnolia"); at the top of his game as well is Jerry Garcia, who delivers the superb "Friend of the Devil," "Candyman," and "Ripple." Climaxing with the perennial "Truckin'," American Beauty remains the Dead's studio masterpiece -- never again would they be so musically focused or so emotionally direct. The image included with the auction is a scan of the actual item but, due to size limitations of the scanner, the edges of the item may have been cropped.RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you’re getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky’s the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
