Description
Grateful Dead - AOXOMOXOA WS1790 First Press (A2/B1 Matrix)
Aoxomoxoa was released in 1969 and features one of Rick Griffin's finest Grateful Dead album covers, having originated as a poster for the Dead at the Avalon Ballroom in January 1969. Apparently, the band liked the poster so much they asked Griffin to rework it for the cover of their third album, which was their first with Tom Constanten as an official band-member. Constanten was instrumental in creating unique sounds from the keyboards utilizing such common items as combs, Dutch dimes, and a gyroscope to alter the sound of the keyboard.
This in my opinion is such a classic album - really cool tunes - far out!
Side I:
1. St. Stephen
2. Dupree's Diamond Blues
3. Rosemary
4. Doin' That Rag
5. Mountains of the Moon
Side II:
1. China Cat Sunflower
2. What's Become of the Baby
3. Cosmic Charlie
Vinyl is in near excellent condition - There are some light marks and a scratch on track two, side two which causes about 7 clicks - no hiss or such like throughout, a touch of passive surface in a few places only - for the most part, very clear, bold sound with very little to detract
Flip back Cover is in great condition, spine fully legiable - some wear each corner, more so bottom right but nothing alarming- will grade very good plus - no issues
A classic of an album!
