The Allman Brothers Band Atco        SD 33-308 1969 Monarch 1st Pressing
Atco 1st pressing with first cut A/B matrices, and pressed by Monarch Records - this is the definitive pressing of  this amazing record.
This LP is like a slab of slate, very thick and heavy.    Play grade ranges from VG+ to a strong VG+,  clean with powerful sonics.      Visually VG due to a scuff on side two / track one, which has no effect except for 6-7 underlying tics that occur during a furious passage, so they are somewhat masked.     Other than that, very clean with occasional light surface noise in quiet spots inherent in these Atco pressings.          The textured gatefold cover is VG+ with just some paper rubbing wear to upper and lower edges.     The original Atco inner sleeve is a clean VG+.  
All records are cleaned and stored vertically.  

Shipping will be in a proper LP shipping box, and tracking will be included.

Near Mint (NM): Near perfect record and cover.     High gloss, and no visible flaws or defects (any manufacturing scuffs should be noted).     Very little to no unexpected surface noise or any other audible defects should be apparent.

Near Mint Minus  (NM-): A high gloss record with maybe the faintest minor flaws present (ex. a couple of faint hairlines, a light paper scuff).     Little unexpected surface noise or other audible issues.      Cover shows no significant ring wear, nor seam splits.

Very Good Plus Plus  (VG++): Only a  small number of minor flaws present (ex. a couple of faint hairlines, a light paper scuff).     Maybe some very light surface noise in a few spots.      A used record that has been very well taken care of. Cover shows very little significant wear.

Very Good Plus (VG+): More signs of light wear but still a nice record with gloss and no groove wear, that plays well.    A bit more surface noise, especially in quiet spots, but the record is still a very enjoyable listen.   Most used records will fall into this category. Cover may show minor defects including light ring wear, but no seam splits.

Very Good (VG): More obvious wear.    Light scuffs and scratches will be apparent, but no gouges.     Surface noise will be evident on playing, especially in soft passages, and during a song's intro and fade,  but it never overpowers the music.      Cover ring wear and other defects such as minor seam splits or writing are evident.       This is a collection filler.
