This listing is for 50th anniversary edition release of Bear's Choice by The Grateful Dead. This "bear tracks" yellow orange brown splatter color variant was pressed to a limited run of only 5,000. I purchased this for myself as I’m a lover of vinyl records. It is new/sealed/unplayed. This piece was never displayed anywhere. It was set on an IKEA shelf which has been covered by a drop cloth to keep out UV rays. I've provided images of all four corners for your review. 
This is the Dead's first true archival album. It was produced by Owsley Stanley (aka Bear) as a tribute to Pigpen shortly after he passed away. The LP has been remastered by David Glasser using Plangent Processes from the original analog 2-track tapes recorded live by Bear and has never sounded better. 
On the sleeve grading, I never grade sleeves as mint as you can always find some minor imperfection if you look hard enough. Check out the images and judge for yourself.
Info  on  my  listings: With exception to the occasional stock image to show the color of a release, the images I post are of the actual items in my possession. Most  of  my  items  are new/unplayed, with  a  few  exceptions. (Check  the  listing  for  certainty  here.) All  items  have  been  stored in  a  climate-controlled  environment. Ships via media mail.
Shipping to continental US only. All sales final.
Please note that I ship my LPs either wrapped in bubble wrap, with padding on the corners, or in well protected mailers that have extra cardboard to mitigate sleeve damage. New vinyl records are not always perfect. Even new LPs will have the occasional pop or crackle, which is part of the charm of vinyl.
