Round Record's 'GRATEFUL DEAD: For Dead Heads'  (Rare 1974 1 fan club-only, promo-only, mail order-only DJ promotional only vinyl EP compilation album, featuring tracks that got the best reaction from airplay including tracks from Grateful Dead as a group as well as solo members.

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          This EP  comes with all three original inserts (please see above for details)

(c)           The EP set also comes with the original stamped and labeled mailer (envelope), torn and tattered but mostly complete

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
