Description
This album has never been played. It is actually a promotional copy but the promotional sticker has been removed leaving a sticky mark on the back cover. There are a few other minor marks on the cover but it is generally in excellent condition. It is a German pressing of the original release on Swan Song Records from 1976. Personally, I would rate the disks as Mint, which means absolutely perfect. As nothing is rarely ever perfect I'll rate them as M- using the scale below.
The recording of the album and the film took place during three nights of concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden, during the band's 1973 concert tour of the United States. All songs were recorded by Eddie Kramer using the Wally Heider Mobile Studio truck, and later mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Trident Studios in London.
The album was released on 28 September 1976, by Swan Song Records. The sleeve design depicted a dilapidated movie house located on Old Street film studios in London, which was used by the band for rehearsals prior to their 1973 tour.
The gatefold holds a booklet which has stills from the movie.

Condition Ratings
Mint Perfect, flawless. Legitimate sellers seldom use this grade. When a record is truly
Mint, it deserves (and receives) a large premium over other grades.
M- or NRMT (Mint Minus or Near Mint) – Usually the highest grade. Records from the
1950s & 60s in this condition are truly rare.
EXCELLENT or EXC - Almost near mint, maybe a mark or two on the cover. No wear on cover or record. Most collectors examples.
VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus) – Beautiful collectible condition. Only the slightest of
wear, certainly no deep scratches.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) - Great condition. Well cared for.
VG (Very Good) – Still good condition, but more wear than VG+.
VG- (Very Good Minus) - Generally not collectible condition, unless it’s a super rare
record. Most dealers avoid records in this shape or below.
G (Good) – Lots of wear, but still playable. The most confusing grade! Good really does
not mean good. It is actually quite poor condition to a collector.
