Description

This is the very limited 6-LP pressing of Dick's Picks 19 by the Grateful Dead. This was limited to only 4,500 hand numbered copies and it sold out quickly. I purchased this for myself as I’m a collector of vinyl records. It is new and unplayed. This piece was never displayed anywhere (other than  at  the  store  from  which  I  purchased  it). It was  set  on  an  IKEA  shelf which has been covered by a drop  cloth to keep out UV rays. I've provided image of all four corners for your review.
I never grade sleeves/boxes as mint as you can always find some minor imperfection if you look hard enough. Check out the images and judge for yourself
Notes From Real Gone:
GRATEFUL DEAD: Dick’s Picks Vol. 19—10/19/73 Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena, Oklahoma City, OK (Limited, Hand-Numbered, 180-Gram 6-LP Vinyl Edition)
Our previous LP releases of Grateful Dead concerts from the Dick’s Picks series have encompassed the years of 1969, 1972, 1974, and 1977…but there’s one year on that list that is conspicuous by its absence. That’s right...we have yet to release a concert on vinyl from what is arguably the peak year of Dead touring, 1973! And what was the peak tour from that year? Yup, the fall Midwest tour. So, the choice of Dick’s Picks Vol. 19 as our next vinyl “trip” was an easy one. It was the first concert of the tour, and in fact at the time it was the first full 1973 concert to be released. More importantly, with the release of Wake of the Flood just a few days prior, it finds the band invigorated with a wealth of fresh material to explore, highlighted by stellar (no pun intended) renditions of “Stella Blue” and “Eyes of the World.” And the two sidelong numbers on the set, “Playing in the Band” and “Dark Star” (which leads into a dazzling “Mind Left Body Jam” and a stirring “Morning Dew”), achieve sheer improvisational bliss. The original sound mix on this one is superb, and we’ve taken great care to preserve it and even improve upon it for this release, with mastering for vinyl from the original tapes by the set’s original mastering engineer, Jeffrey Norman, lacquer cutting by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made Music, and a 180-gram black vinyl pressing at Gotta Groove Records. We’ve also included an insert sporting the graphics from the original release, housed inside a two-piece hardshell box that we’ve hand-numbered. Limited to 4500 6-LP sets
Info  on  my  listings: With exception to the occasional stock image to show the color of a release, the images I post are of the actual items in my possession. I try my best to note any imperfections on the items in my collection; however, if you notice  anything  that I  may  have  missed, don’t  hesitate  to  message  me. I can provide additional  images  if necessary. Most  of  my  items  are  sealed  in  cartons, with  a  few  exceptions. (Check  the  listing  for  certainty  here.) All  items  have  been  stored in  a  climate-controlled  environment. Ships via media mail.
Shipping to continental US only. All sales final.
Please note that I ship my LPs either wrapped in bubble wrap, with padding on the corners, or in well protected mailers that have extra cardboard to mitigate sleeve damage. Still, it is possible that USPS might be less than careful with the shipment. Dings to the sleeve, or the occasional side split are possible. If you buy vinyl regularly and have it shipped you know of these issues. Also, new vinyl records are not always perfect. Even new LPs will have the occasional pop or crackle, which is part of the charm of vinyl.
