GRATEFUL DEAD American Beauty ORIG 1st GREEN LABEL WB WS-1893 Pitman Press


Artist - GRATEFUL DEAD

Title - AMERICAN BEAUTY

Label/Catalog -  WARNER BROS WS-1893

Sleeve - VG+, nice and sturdy with nice seams and spine, light ring wear.

Vinyl - Tough one to grade , vinyl looks like it was probably unplayed, would visually pass for EX or NM-.  There is some unexplained audible background that I noticed on the first and last song on side 1, they are quick little static sounding pops, they don't happen very often, and I wouldn't say they dominate the tracks, just a slight annoyance, and the vast majority of the record plays stellar. 

Notes -  1st "Pitman press, green label.  Includes original WB inner sleeve


All LP's are packed carefully in corrugated boxes made specifically for LP's. Shipments will be safely secured with foam cushioning, a cardboard filler, and plastic wrapped to prevent movement inside box. LP always  shipped with record outside of the cover to prevent seam splitting. Only exemption is for sealed items or covers with fragile spines.  A FRAGILE sticker will be visible on outside of box. Orders are generally shipped out within 24 hours.

Grading: LP's are graded visually under a 60 watt bulb. I also test play segments of the LP including any questionable marks. All records have been cleaned.

NM   = Vinyl and sleeve should basically look like new
NM- = Just shy of NM, Examples: a mild scuff that does not affect play, a bit of spindle wear, very mild shelf wear.
EX    = May also be listed as VG++. An exceptional record or sleeve with very light play or very light shelf wear. 
VG+ = Used but not abused ! Vinyl may have light marks but still a nice player, Sleeves will have normal shelf wear.
VG    = Vinyl will have more defined flaws such as scratches and background noise.  Music will overpower noise except for possible softer passages.  Sleeves may have more moderate flaws such as ring wear , edge wear, creasing, seam splitting,  but still should be decent.
VG-  =  Slightly more obvious wear than VG G+ or G   =  Vinyl and sleeves will have moderate to heavy wear. Examples : significant surface wear or scratches to vinyl,  water wear, rips and substantial creasing on sleeves. Background noise may be as loud as music, and sometimes they will play better than they look.  I always listen and notate. Any skips will also be notated.
Fair or Poor  = Reserved for rare records that are unplayable or very heavily damaged
