UPDATED SPECIAL NOTE: 
9/28/64 to 3/13/18 - RIP Kim Gorman 
- as of the recent passing of my wife, I will be putting many items up for sale and many at great prices. I hope you find something you have been looking for. 

SPECIAL NOTE: 
Over the next couple of weeks I will also be posting core collection LPs from The Beatles, The Amboy Dukes, and The Animals - maybe a Led Zeppelin or two, as well. Some are very nice and highly collectible - including STEREO & MONO editions, imports, German pressings, unreleased live sets, and many other collectibles that are sure to catch your eyes. 

Check back to see if there is something that fits your interest. 

Thanks in advance for viewing my auctions. 

******************************************** 

Up for grabs is an original pressing on Arista Records by The Grateful Dead. The LP is a STEREO recording and the catalog # is AL 7001.

The uniqueness of this 1st edition is that both sides have scribed inscriptions added.

This HTF STEREO copy is graded by me as being a TOP COPY and HIGH GRADE in a VG+/NM- condition. The grade is visually subjective, but the LP does look good and IMO, has a fair assessment of the grade.

LP is also a medium weighted vinyl issue - indicative of an original pressing.

Please review the descriptions and photos for additional details.

Please read entire auction for any additional details concerning shipping and handling.

NOTICE TO WINNING BIDDER -- please do not pay for the auction immediately. Please allow me to send you an invoice, just in case insurance is requested to be added.

**************************

I will combine shipping if winning multiple lots or auctions. Please refer to non-album/LP auctions for combine shipping charges for those other auctions, because they will differ.

All LP grades assigned are subjective and may differ from another person's viewpoint. I am not a professional grader, but I have collected records and albums for over 35 years. When LPs or records are play tested, they are disc-brush cleaned and then played on a 1980s Pioneer direct-drive turntable using Stanton or AudioTechnica needles.

Combined Shipping costs for LP auctions:- Will be recalculated to include a new shipping charge. Additional costs will be applied after the shipping cost of the heaviest weighted auction that was won (i.e. a 2-LP record lot is heavier than a single LP lot.)- I will combine auction shipment costs for up to four (4) LPs (4 single LPs, 2 double LPs, or a combination of both types, not to exceed four LPs in the album mailer). I do this, so they will ship securely in a record mailer and without possible damage during shipment. An additional amount of $.50 per LP will be added after the initial charge. - I use a prefabricated 12" record mailer for all LP shipments and will only add insurance upon request.

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.

All sales are final and no returns will be accepted.
- I want to make you happy with your purchase and to ensure you are, please contact me first with any issues that you may have, so I can try to resolve them amicably and to your satisfaction.
- My feedback is 100% and shows that I consistently ship fast, securely, and as described.
- Positive feedback will be given, when positive feedback is received.

The description of "white label" was from a previous GD album I sold. Clearly this is not a "white label". My apologies for not correcting the description before the first bid. Pictures listed are correct and represent the actual LP offered. Thanks in advance.
