hot Grateful Dead American Beauty THE REAL DEAL 1970 GREEN LABEL PITMAN PRESSING!

If you want to hear this record at it's best get the original GREEN label PITMAN pressing. This copy will also hold it's value.

COVER : This was my copy so I did some "tasteful" repairs. I don't over do it and most wouldn't know unless I pointed it out. Look at photos. NO writing, splits, saw marks, stains, punch holes etc.

VINYL: This 52 year old record was well cared for. The record is in nice VG+ condition. There are some marks but I gave it a test play and it sounds a strong VG+. There is very slight low background noise in the very quiet parts and some very low tics here and there. I am particular and this record is a sweet listen.
