THE GRATEFUL DEAD
LIVE  DEAD

THIS IS A GENUINE 1969 UK 1ST PRESS ON THE ORANGE WARNER BROTHERS LABEL, AND NOT THE 1970 VERSION WHICH IS ALSO ON THE ORANGE LABEL, AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW IN THE RUN OFF DETAILS !!!!
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER, AND ON 150gms OF 1960's HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, AND IT PLAYS AMAZING !!!!
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ALBUMS EVER RELEASED, AND IT IS THE GRATEFUL DEADS 4th ALBUM, BUT THEIR 1st OFFICIAL LIVE ALBUM. THEY WERE FORMED IN, PALO ALTO IN CALIFORNIA IN 1965, AND THIS IS CERTAINLY A MUST HAVE ACID, PSYCH BLUES ROCK DOUBLE ALBUM, AND IT COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS  :: WS-1830  A-2 * T  STEREO ::  WS-1830  B-1 * T  STEREO 'KT'  ::  WS-1830  C-1 * T  STEREO 'KT' ::  WS-1830  D-1 * T  STEREO  'KT' .
THE ONE LISTED DOES NOT HAVE, THE 1970 UK PRESS, 'K66002' IN THE RUN OFFS, SO THIS IS A GENUINE 1969 1ST PRESS !!!!
PRESSED OFF THE 1ST MOTHER WITH EARLY STAMPERS  :: 1 D  ::  1 B  ::  1 E  ::  IB.

ON THE ORANGE WARNER BROTHERS LABELS :: W.S. 1830 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, WITH JUST, 'WS 1830 STEREO' ON THE BACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E. J DAY GROUP, LONDON AND BEDFORD, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, JUST A BIT OF VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR, NOTHING NASTY AND THE SPINE IS FULLY READABLE. THERE IS A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE STILL SHARP !!!! THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT RING WEAR ALONG THE TOP, AND A VERY LIGHT RIPPLE EFFECT, AGAIN NOTHING NASTY AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, TAKEN FROM THE OPENING EDGES SIDE. VERY NICE INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- . WOULD PROBABLY GO NEARER TO VG+, RATHER THAN EX- !!!!

VINYLS :: BOTH VINYLS PLAY OUTSTANDING AND THEY ARE SO CLEAR IT IS LIKE HAVING YOUR OWN PERSONAL GRATEFUL DEAD CONCERT IN YOUR LIVING ROOM, SO NO STATIC OR CRACKLE ANYWHERE, AND LITERALLY JUST THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 1, ON SIDE 2, AND FIVE VERY FAINT POPS AT THE VERY START OF SIDE 4, AND CERTAINLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE !!!!

NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYLS LOOKS SUPERB, AND EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT JUST AS IMPRESSIVE, JUST A FEW FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES. SO LOVELY VINYLS, AND BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX+ .   

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST LITERALLY A COUPLE OF FAINT TINY SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  ::  EX/EX+ . 

INNERS :: NO SPLITS OR WRITING, BUT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN WITH THE VINYLS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THEM AND HAVE THE SAME AGE RELATED MARKS, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT TEXT WRITING ON THEM, SO PROBABLY ONE IS NOT THE ORIGINAL, AND THE VINYLS WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNERS ALONG WITH THE ONES DESCRIBED ABOVE :: VG .  

QUITE DIFFICULT TO FIND NOW, ESPECIALLY A GENUINE UK 1969 FIRST PRESS, AND WITH AUDIO LIKE THIS HAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.
