Description
Recorded live at The Matrix, San Francisco, March 7th and 10th 1967. Remastered by Swingin' Pig Records and released in 1990, with the ID TSP 047-3 (funnily enough, that page has a typo, listing it as 046-3), according to their site there were only 250 made.
The records are colored, with a sort of marble look that's different for each of the three. Though I'm a layperson, I looked up record grading and attempted to grade them accordingly. When I hold the records up to the light the play area is pristine (the most I found is a light scratch on one of the three), however I've marked it down from NM/M- to EX because there is some wear on the paper around the rings of the records. I've included some pictures of the worst examples (both from the first record) of what I'm talking about in the listing. The other records don't have as much wear there. Record 3 doesn't have almost any, for example. I don't think it's too bad, anyway. The sleeves look great besides in the middle of the plastic circle where there's some wear (goes with the paper wear on the middle of the records I guess). As usual, the picture I took is of the worse sleeve, the others look better. The picture is the only sleeve with a small perforation in the plastic.
The box itself looks great, just some scuffing that comes naturally with being in a record collection. Some minor edge wear in the corners. I took a picture of a bump on the front that I noticed. The paper isn't cracked there or anything, but there's a little bump there. When it's not caught in the glare of a light bulb it's not immediately noticeable.
Alright, I've tried to be as thorough as possible in describing what I'm working with here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I tend to be a bit understated in my descriptions- these records are rare and in great shape.
