Description
This is an original sealed mint copy of the legendary triple LP recording by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, together with many of the legendary figures of traditional country music, released by United Artists in 1972. This LP was never released again on vinyl in the three LP original format, only in CD many years later. The cover still displays the original record company hype sticker in the upper left front of the cover.
By 1972, several rock bands, most notably the Byrds and the Beau Brummels, had gone to Nashville seeking credibility from the country music community there, only to be received poorly by that community and to have their resulting work ignored by the press and public. At the suggestion of manager Bill McEuen, however, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band went to Nashville in 1972 and recorded a selection of traditional country numbers with the likes of Roy Acuff. Earl Scruggs, Mother Maybelle Carter, and other members of country and bluegrass music's veteran elite. Some of the veteran Nashville stars were skeptical and suspicious at first of the bandmembers and their amplified instruments, but the ice was broken when they saw how respectful the band was toward them and their work, and their music, as well as how serious they were about their own music. The resulting triple album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, released in January of 1973, became a million-seller and elicited positive reviews from both the rock and country music press. The band had, by now, eclipsed the competition as a "crossover" act, reaching country and bluegrass audiences even as their rock listeners acquired a new appreciation for musicians such as Acuff and Carter. the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band succeeded with Will the Circle Be Unbroken because they were willing to meet country and bluegrass music on the terms of those two branches of traditional music, rather than as rock musicians.
The LPS are completely sealed with just a few small areas of missing shrink at the top and or corners. All corners are slightly worn or dinged. The seams and spine are strong with no splits, and the product information on spine is clearly readable.
The LP is being sold without reserve and payment is expected within 3 days of auction close. Return of the LP will only be accepted if the LP is returned still sealed.

Save me as a seller as I have about 150 sealed rare 1960's and 1970's rock, soul, blues and jazz LPs that will be auctioned over the coming months. And then thereafter I will auction open exceptionally clean MFSL and other audiophile recording, as well as over 200 promos. In all I will be auctioning a collection of almost 7000 very rare and clean rock, soul and blues LPS. The front and back are clean with only very minor age spotting
