Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

USA - BS 2721 - WHITE LABEL PROMO - WARNER BROS
TOP COPY -- VERY RARE COLLECTIBLE:::::
July 1973 ....ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMO

"BEARS CHOICE" was compiled as a tribute of sorts to Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, the band's keyboard player original and blues aficionado, who died while it was being prepared. The "Bear" of the title is Owsley Stanley, underground (L.S.D.) chemist turned Dead sound man. The original album was recorded and produced by Stanley, and fans Often simply refer to the album as Bear's Choice.
Side one consists of acoustic performances by Pig Pen, Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir centered on blues material. The second side features blues performances by Pig Pen with The Grateful Dead backing the two lengthy jams; "Smokestack Lightning" and "Hard to Handle".
The album was originally intended as the first in a series but Volume Two never came to be, as the band's contract with Warner Brothers Records was not renewed.
