PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


WILDLY RARE Wally Traugott mastered Winchester pressing from 198? on Capitol's colorband/rainbow label with barcoded rear cover!!!  Release year is unclear as there is not a single entry for this pressing anywhere in the massive, sprawling Discogs database whatsoever.  THAT'S how you know it's rare.  I have had well over 15 copies of this LP pass through my hands in my 40+ years of collecting and this is the ONLY colorband label I have ever seen.  LP is a beautiful VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs.  Cover is still in the original shrink wrap and beautiful as well.  Even has the original $7.50 Rolling Stones Records (represent, Chicago!) price sticker in the top right hand corner on the front with iconic balloon lettering.  A high grade copy of this rarity with airtight provenance.  This is what collecting is about.  You will not be disappointed.  If you own only one album by The Band this is the one to own.

NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
