   GRATEFUL DEAD
SELF TITLED LIVE DOUBLE ALBUM, OFTEN KNOWN AS...
SKULL &ROSES
THIS IS A VERY RARE, COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL STICKER, AND ORIGINAL WARNER BROTHERS INNERS, U.S.A EARLIEST 'PITMAN' 1ST PRESS, ON THE OLIVE GREEN SKELETON WARNER BROTHERS LABELS.

THIS IS GRATEFUL DEAD, WHO WERE ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC CALIFORNIA BANDS OF THE 60's, 70's AND 80's. FORMED IN 1965, AND FROM PALO ALTO CALIFORNIA, THEY HAD THEIR OWN UNIQUE SOUND, AND I THINK ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME. SADLY THEY ENDED IN 1995, BUT THEIR MUSIC WILL GO ON FOR EVER, AND THE ALBUM LISTED BELOW, IS THEIR 2nd LIVE ALBUM, AND THEIR 7th ALBUM OVER ALL, RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 24th 1971, AND THIS RARE ORIGINAL DOUBLE LIVE ALBUM IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE A VERY SAD LOSS, 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 !!

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS MADE IN THE U.S.A, AND MADE FROM THICKER AND HEAVIER CARD, AND IN SUPERB CLEAN AND SOLID CONDITION, AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER ONE. JUST REALLY A FEW VERY FAINT TINY SPOT STAINS INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THEY REALLY ARE FAINT AND NOTHING AT ALL TO WORRY ABOUT.

VERY RARE ORIGINAL GRATEFUL DEAD STICKER :: TO FIND ONE OF THESE ORIGINAL STICKERS IN ANY CONDITION IS VERY DIFFICULT, BUT WHEN YOU FIND ONE, STILL STUCK, AND FULLY ATTACHED TO THE ORIGINAL BACKGROUND PAPER, THEN A VERY RARE FIND INDEED, BUT HERE IS ONE, AND IF IN ANY DOUBT, IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL, '1935' PRINTED ON THE BOTTOM. SUPERB CONDITION, AND I WOULD GRADE :: EX .

ORIGINAL INNERS  ::  YES HARD TO BELIEVE, THE VINYLS COME WITH THE ORIGINAL, 'WARNER / REPRISE LOSS LEADERS' INNERS, WHICH HAVE, 'PRINTED IN U.S.A IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ON THE BACK. JUST A BIT OF LIGHT AGEING AND SOME CORNER CREASING, AND NO WRITING OR SEAM SPLITS, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: VG/VG+ .THE VINYLS WILL COME IN NEW POLYLINED INNERS ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL WARNER INNERS .
