The Band - Stage Fright
The Band's third album, Stage Fright, was strikingly different from their earlier story-songs work.  It was considered by many a reaction to the group's meteoric rise to fame, and roundly applauded as their most nakedly confessional work.  Fun fact:  the album was supposed to be recorded live at the Woodstock Playhouse in upstate New York, but as soon as word got out that the Band would be putting on an exclusive show, demand for tickets so far exceeded supply that they decided to cut it in front of an empty theater - and the engineer was no less than a young Todd Rundgren.
I believe that this Capitol Records SW-425 album is an original first pressing of this record: It was issued on green 'target' Capitol labels; it has the "─◁" It in the runouts which denotes a Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester pressing; STERLING is machine-stamped; Matrix / Runout (Side A runout etched, variant) SW-1-425-Z-3#2 ─◁STERLING RL; Matrix / Runout (Side B runout etched, variant) SW-2-425-Z-3─◁STERLING RL, but since I'm not an expert I can't be positive.

This 1970 fully original  album - this half century old vinyl record is in good to very good vintage condition - its surface is bright and glossy, with some marks; the original green labels are in excellent vintage condition; the original jacket cover is in good vintage condition, wear to spine so that it is intact but not readable, wear to back bottom right, and marks.
Enjoy!
