Graham Nash released his debut solo album "Songs For Beginners" in May 1971 on Atlantic Records. The record is noted for the continuing resonance of protest songs "Chicago," "Military Madness," and "We Can Change The World." Among the special guests on the album are David Crosby, Neil Young, Dave Mason, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Rita Coolidge, Dallas Taylor, and David Lindley.
This copy (SD-7204) is from the first pressing and is in very good condition. The cover does have some slight ring and edge wear but I grade it and the original inner lyrics sleeve as VG+. Please see the pictures. The disc test plays cleanly and is also VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. It was mastered at Artisan Sound Recorders and was pressed at Monarch Record Mfg. Co. in Los Angeles. The dead wax on Side 1 is etched ST-A-712183DD-RE Δ16-016 (5) PR except for the Artisan and Monarch logos which are stamped.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.
Free shipping is included 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 49 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.
