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.

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.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

  • This highly collectable album of previously unreleased tracks was the Dead's last album for Warner Bros. Records. 
  • This White Label Promo is a First Pressing that has never been played.
  • The paper on board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
  • The Promo sticker is top right front cover.
  • The inner sleeve features the Warner Bros. Loss Leaders catalog. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
  • Seller got this new, right out of the box, from WB in 1973. It has been in storage for 44 years.
