Description
Vinyl: VG++ Play Tested. Sounds Great! Labels are Clean, except there's pen marks on sides 2, 4 and 6. The marks don't obscure any of the info--see photos. This is the 1978 Warner Brothers 1st Pressing! This is one of the Greatest Documents/Performances/Movies in Rock 'N Roll History! No hype! If this doesn't turn you on, you should be looking to some other genre...Having owned the record as well as owning the movie, I must say that the record seems to have a richer mix--more sounds/flavors/essences in the mix! If this is your first turn-on, take a look at the guests on this record: a who's who of 60s and 70s heroes and heroines. all music gives it 4 stars! Crucial!
Cover: VG (see photos; some moisture staining on cover, sleeves and booklet; I've lined each of the three sleeves with a high-quality poly-sleeve)
Goldmine Standards. I play test every album that I sell on eBay as I have found you can't rate an LP accurately by just visually inspecting an album. I wipe the dust off of every cover with clean, unscented baby wipes. I professionally clean the vinyl.

AllMusic Review by Mark Deming [-]
As a film, The Last Waltz was a triumph -- one of the first (and still one of the few) rock concert documentaries that was directed by a filmmaker who understood both the look and the sound of rock & roll, and executed with enough technical craft to capture all the nooks and crannies of a great live show. But as an album, The Last Waltz soundtrack had to compete with the Band's earlier live album, Rock of Ages, with which it bears a certain superficial resemblance -- both found the group trying to create something grander than the standard-issue live double, and both featured the group beefed up by additional musicians. While Rock of Ages found the Band swinging along with the help of a horn section arranged by Allen Toussaint, The Last Waltz boasts a horn section (using Toussaint's earlier arrangements on a few cuts) and more than a baker's dozen guest stars, ranging from old cohorts Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan to contemporaries Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Van Morrison. The Band are in fine if not exceptional form here; on most cuts, they don't sound quite as fiery as they did on Rock of Ages, though their performances are never less than expert, and the high points are dazzling, especially an impassioned version of "It Makes No Difference" and blazing readings of "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (Levon Helm has made no secret that he felt breaking up the Band was a bad idea, and here it sounds if he was determined to prove how much they still had to offer). Ultimately, it's the Band's "special guests" who really make this set stand out -- Muddy Waters' ferocious version of "Mannish Boy" would have been a wonder from a man half his age, Van Morrison sounds positively joyous on "Caravan," Neil Young and Joni Mitchell do well for their Canadian brethren, and Bob Dylan's closing set finds him in admirably loose and rollicking form. (One question remains -- what exactly is Neil Diamond doing here?) And while the closing studio-recorded "Last Waltz Suite" sounds like padding, the contributions from Emmylou Harris and the Staple Singers are beautiful indeed. It could be argued that you're better off watching The Last Waltz on video than listening to it on CD, but either way it's a show well worth checking out.
