"On Stage" is the brilliant double disc live album released by Loggins and Messina in 1974 on Columbia Records. It's compiled from live recordings at Winterland in San Francisco in April 1972, the Orpheum in Boston and Carnegie Hall in NYC in early March 1973.  In addition to all their hits, it includes an extended version of "Vahevala" that takes up all of side 3.
This copy is from the first pressing (PG 32848) and is in excellent condition.  The gatefold cover and the color photo inner sleeves easily grade VG+.  Please see the pictures. Both discs test play cleanly and are also VG+ which is as high as I go vintage vinyl.  It was mastered at Customatrix by Allen Zentz and pressed at the Columbia Records plant in Santa Maria, Calif.  The Side 1 dead wax is etched \ PAL 32849-1A AZ o A2.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeves to hold each of the vinyl discs and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.  It will ship securely in the special corrugated Album Mailer seen in the last picture. 
This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 46 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
