A rare, pristine piece of classic rock history: a Factory Sealed original 1974 US pressing of America’s hit album, Holiday. Released on Warner Bros. Records (W-2808), this copy has never been opened or played in over 50 years. [1, 2] This particular copy features a tiny distributor cut-out punch hole in the corner, confirming its authenticity as a mid-1970s retail or promotional stock item. The shrink wrap is fully intact, taut, and displays beautifully with no major splits. Perfect for serious collectors of folk-rock history, audiophiles, or fans of Sir George Martin’s legendary production work. 
Released in June 1974, Holiday is the fourth studio album by the folk-rock trio America. After a slight commercial dip with their previous record, the band traveled to London to work with the legendary Sir George Martin (famed producer of The Beatles) at AIR Studios. The partnership was a massive success: the album rocketed to #3 on the Billboard charts, achieved RIAA Gold certification, and spawned two massive top-5 smash singles: "Tin Man" and "Lonely People". It solidified America’s status as premier hitmakers of the 1970s soft-rock era.
