DESCRIPTION
ARTIST: THE BAND
TITLE: “MUSIC FROM BIG PINK”
PRESSING: 1968 Original FIRST Pressing STEREO LP of The Band’s debut album!
CATALOG #: CAPITOL SKAO 2955
LABELS: Super clean “Black Colorband” (MFD BY CAPITOL) labels.
Comments: Extremely SCARCE LP to locate with extremely clean vinyl and a pristine cover.
CONDITION ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)
COVER: NrMT
Comments: Pristine “pastedown” gatefold cover displays bright vivid colors with absolutely No surface or ring wear, which is extremely rare for this particular cover. There are No marks or writing, No creases, No seam splits, and No cut out marks, discount holes or bar codes. Light wear in the upper right corner (see photograph) is the only minor flaw and mentioned for accuracy. This is one of the cleanest covers for this particular release that you can ever expect to locate - a condition rarity!!
VINYL: VG++
Comments: Extremely clean, full original gloss “rigid” vinyl with a few minor rubs from sliding in and out of the original inner sleeve. There is an insignificant needle trail on side 1 and a very light spindle mark on side 2 (No scratches that can be felt) seen under bright light, which absolutely do not affect play. The album has been play tested and plays beautifully throughout the entire recording with wonderful, bold fidelity!
INNER SLEEVE: Original “High Fidelity” inner sleeve used by Capitol on some of their albums during the time of release of this LP.
Comments: “First” pressing copies of “The Bands” debut release are extremely difficult to locate with extremely clean vinyl and a pristine cover without any ring wear! LP features “The Weight” and several songs written or co-written by Bob Dylan, including the cover art.
I have listed additional pristine First pressing “The Band” albums from the “sixties” and early seventies this week, so please check out my other auctions!
