Played once through, though some LPs were never played. All vinyl and sleeve are in perfect shape. The wear seen in the photo is part of the artwork, meant to harken an old reel box. Some bending on the side cover but not an issue. Handled and cared for by an audiophile in a pet and smoke free home.

"Although this was the third Grateful Dead album to be released since the death of bandleader Jerry Garcia and the group's subsequent decision to disband, it is the first one that wasn't in the pipeline already. Its release offers evidence that the Dead organization, which had begun releasing selected recordings of live shows as a courtesy to fans while raking in most of its revenues through roadwork, had changed its priorities. Dick's Picks, Vol. 4 isn't just another Grateful Dead concert recording, it's the recording: February 13-14, 1970, the Dead's most memorable appearance at the Fillmore East, and a show consistently ranked by Deadheads as among the five best live tapes ever. This stand, some of which was released in 1973 on the History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice) (there is no overlap with this album), finds the Dead gearing up to record 'Workingman's Dead,' and already songs such as 'Casey Jones' and 'Dire Wolf' have crept into the set. But there is so much more: half-hour versions of 'That's It for the Other One,' 'Turn on Your Lovelight' (a showcase for Pigpen), and, in a near-definitive performance, the Dead's signature song, 'Dark Star.' Much of the then recently released Live/Dead material is heard, not to mention a rare performance of 'Mason's Children.' But it isn't just the set list that makes this a legendary show, it's the playing: Amazing interaction among the players on every song, with Garcia noodling his way to nirvana. While it would be an exaggeration to say that if you own this three-CD, three-hour-and-ten-minute album you have all you need of the Grateful Dead on disc, the overstatement is only slight. As Bob Weir says at the outset, 'This ain't a show, it's a party.'" — All Music Guide.

Manufacturing Notes:

When manufacturing the Dick's Picks for vinyl, Brookvale had some things to really consider. With the time limitations on vinyl sides they did their best to preserve the jams the band is famous for and make the vinyl flow as best as possible. Vol. 4 was selected from a Grateful Dead performance at the Fillmore East, New York, Feb. 13-14, 1970. It's presented here as a 6 x 180-gram LP 12" x 12" box set with all records housed in high quality poly lined sleeves. The set will be limited to only 2,000 hand numbered units! Side 2 of the sixth LP is blank.
