• Vinyl: VG+/VG++  play grade  *well-taken care of vinyl with very few visual blems and minimal light and intermittent background surface noise.

• Cover: VG  *gatefold jacket with great photos inside; overall general wear includes 3" taped seams on bottom corners and moderate seam wear for all seams, and there is some light ring wear. All in all, the jacket has done good for 40+ years!   
• Notes: Included is the hard to find 4-page bonus pamphlet that came with this album. It measures 8 1/2" x 11" and is made of heavier cardboard stock with very cool artwork and an 'acid-trip' writing about Saint Stephen, Dark Star and much more. Here's a sample:  ..."now is the test of the boomerang...tossed in the night of redeeming... eight sided whispering hallelujah hatrack...seven faced transitory dream doll...six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow..." etc. There are no author credits. There is what appears to be some light candle wax dripping stains on the front/back and there is also some light staining on the lower lh back. The inside is super clean and very frameable! 
• Info: The Grateful Dead's fourth title was likewise their first extended concert recording. Spread over two LPs, Live/Dead (1969) finally was able to relay the intrinsic sonic magnificence of a Dead show in real time. Few recordings have ever represented the essence of an artist in performance as faithfully as Live/Dead. (amg)
