GRATEFUL DEAD “SHAKEDOWN STREET” Original FIRST Pressing STEREO LP (1978 ARISTA AB 4198) SUPERB collectible condition!! Still SEALED LP with the original factory shrink wrap completely intact!! Super clean gatefold cover (NrMT or better) retains its full original gloss beneath the shrink wrap and displays bright, vivid colors. The shrink wrap is tight all the way around, and has the proper breathe hole for the issue. The cover has No Ring wear, No seam splits, No cut out marks, or bar codes, and the album contains a MINT, never played vinyl record! The album has ever so light, barely noticeable corner wear in the upper and lower right corners, along with a corresponding very “tiny” tear in the shrink in the lower right corner only. There is also a small ¼” promo hole in the upper right corner. Noted flaws are very minor and mentioned for accuracy. Since this is a first pressing with the proper AB 4196 catalog number, the LP will have Black labels with the light blue Arista logo, which ARISTA used from 1977 to 1979. Overall, a pristine “sealed” copy of this very popular 30 year-old “Grateful Dead” release. The album contains a total of 10 outstanding tracks including “Good Lovin’ “, “France”, “Serengetti”, “Fire On The Mountain”, “I Need a Miracle”, “From the Heart of Me”, “Stagger Lee”, “All New Minglewood Blues”, “If I Had The World To Give”, and their hit title track “Shakedown Street”!! Rarely offered in “original sealed” condition, this unopened / unplayed copy would make a wonderful addition to an advanced collection of sealed “Rock & Roll” LPs!!

10/06 Please Note: The cover is Not a gatefold as I incorrectly listed in the item description. It is a normal single pocket cover, as originally issued. There was no gatefold cover issued for this release. I just wanted to be 100% accurate with the item description.
