Description
THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS The Gilded Palace Of Sin (U.S.) A&M SP 4175 (WLP)
This is a 1969 A&M WLP stereo (Monarch) pressing of The Flying Burrito Brothers' debut lp, "The Gilded Palace Of "Sin". Considered by many to be among the first true Alt Country recordings. Great writing, singing and playing by Parsons, Hillman, Ethridge and Kleinow. Influential as all hell, and an essential piece of country rock history.
Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has CSG-SP-4249 - 15 and ?13047 all etched into the run-out. Side 2 has CSG-SP4250 - 15 and ?13047-X all etched into the run-out. Both sides have the circled MR indicating the Monarch pressing plant. Original U.S WLP press.
Vinyl Visual Grade: VG+ with some light spindle marks (just 2 or 3) which have not damaged the grooves. Slight loss of gloss as well.
Vinyl Play Grade: VG+ with EXCELLENT fidelity and very little noise. Spindle marking is of NO SONIC CONSEQUENCE. The lp really plays as new for the most part. A little inherent press static here and there, but overall a great listen with as good fidelity as you will find out there for this issue.
Cover Visual Grade: VG+ at best with very little ring wear. Top right front corner is dinged (slightly) and there is some minor wear and chipping on seams and spine. Actually fairly nice for a 46-year old sleeve.
Inner sleeve is original A&M branded paper inner (VG) which I have lined with an Audiophile style plastic rice inner.
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
SHIPPING FEES:
Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.
ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.
Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.

I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
