Here's a possibly the absolute best live LP in rock history!!!  There I said it.  When having this discussion people always talk Allman's Fillmore or WHO Live at Leeds, or James Brown Apollo, or Little Feat Waiting for Columbus....  I love them all, but this is IMO such an effortless performance, and recording that it would be my top pick in that category. 
THE GRATEFUL DEAD LP, EUROPE '72 - pressed in 1972.  This copy is a FIRST PRESSING with the 2 cover HYPE STICKERS, the misprint ( RAMBLE ON ROSE on label, and RAMBLIN' ROSE on cover and Hype Sticker).  This LP has become very rare for a few good reasons;  One is that in 1972, the Dead was still a small regional band.  They did have a dedicated following, but their success at the time was nothing like what they would become after 1977.  So fewer OG LPs were sold and pressed.  Secondly, these copies are held for a generation.  Anyone who has it is holding these early GD LPs.  They are being rewarded for that with every higher prices to acquire copies.  This is a very respectable copy.  It has been played, but was well taken care of.  It sports the 2 Hype stickers, one on the front and one on the back cover.  All 3 records are in fabulous VG+-VG++ condition, all have OG INNERS, and this still has the color booklet.  

The Cover is VG+ with light ring wear that's accentuated from the solid white cover, the hype stickers show wear, and there are very small corner dings.  The seams and spine are all sold, but the spine has some  spotty discoloration. 
VINYL'S range between VG+ to VG++. Very clean, and has a small touch of background that can be heard between tracks and minimally in spots.  Visually there may be very light hairline or 2, and a little smudge on a couple sides, but not on all sides, and lightly audible at their worst.  The stereo recording is very present on this. It plays fantastic. 
OG INNERS are close to NEAR MINT condition.  No splits or folds. Not even toned, but sharp and vivid, all be it with some lite handling.
COLOR BOOKLTET- VG++
Track C3 is "Ramblin' Rose" on the sleeve but "Ramble On Rose" on the label.

Green Warner labels with "skull and roses" logo. (See images.)
