Here we have a beautiful copy of Moby Grape's 1st album from 1967. This is the original issue of the album with Don Stevenson shooting the bird against the washboard. Columbia unknowingly printed the cover without noticing the obscene gesture and soon recalled the cover upon discovery. Further copies have an airbrushed picture, so it looks like Stevenson is missing his middle finger! This is the original pressing of the album and is pressed on the red two-eye 360 sound stereo labels. The vinyl is very clean and is conservatively graded at VG++. It displays some very light surface scratches and one visible scuff. The record retains most of its original gloss. The cover is in VG+ condition with some light ring wear and some edge wear. Please see all the pictures to determine condition. Overall, this would make a great addition to your collection. I promise you that you don't see clean copies like this one of this album very often. This item is being sold as is and as found. Thank you!
