Grateful Dead -- American Beauty Runout numbers:  WS-1(or2)-1893   W-2    #2
From my own collection. Or, rather, my late husband's collection. The story he told me: one day in the early '70s he entered a record store and asked for the dozen most significant releases of the last few years -- to correct his complete ignorance of popular music. (He was the class of 1958.)  By the time I met him, he still didn't know who the Grateful Dead were, and I chose to keep his collection intact. However I did learn to appreciate Lucia di Lammermoor. 
Don't know how the record jacket became warped. (See photos.) Didn't hurt the record inside.  I just listened & it's perfect. 
Beige label--not the first pressing. There's an interesting mark on the runout after the #2. A horizontal line with a triangle at the end  ---<|. Sort of like that.
