Spanning from Wild Man Fischer (the wonderfully apropos "Songs for Sale," recorded live on the Sunset Strip) to Miriam Makeba (a potent rendition of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released"), The 1969 Warner/Reprise Songbook remains the benchmark by which the series is judged, spotlighting a veritable who's who of legends including Jimi Hendrix (the non-LP blues classic "Red House"), Neil Young ("I've Been Waiting for You"), Joni Mitchell ("Nathan la Franeer"), and Van Morrison ("Slim Slow Slider") alongside cult favorites like Randy Newman ("Davy the Fat Boy") and Van Dyke Parks ("Music for Datsun TV Commercial"). These are in addition to tracks from The Kinks, Pentangle, Jethro Tull, The Electric Prunes, The Fugs and The Mothers of Invention. (AllMusic)   All photos are actual images of the item for sale.

Thank you for visiting dBeat Records !
GRADING STANDARDS: (M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
