Fillmore - The Last Days - Original 1972 US Fillmore label 26-track 3-LP & 7" Box - Complete

Scarce original 1972 US Fillmore label 26-track 3-LP box set including bonus 7" documenting the last days of the San Francisco rock & roll mecca the Fillmore West before packing it in on the Forth of July 1971... ending an era in pop music history - absolutely essential performances by bay area cream of the crop: Grateful Dead, Quicksilver, Cold Blood, Santana, Hot Tuna, Tower Of Power and many others..

Vinyls have yellow to orange sunburst labels - with top semi-circular Golden Gate logo on pink background as well as large top capital lettering, white outline black and curved 'Fillmore' logo - otherwise black text.

Vinyls are accompanied by large fold out poster - a reproduction of the concert poster for the final run of shows - as well as 12"x12" 32-page full colour booklet... great liner notes by Bill Graham, an illustrated essay about the Fillmore concert posters, and a listing of every concert at the Fillmore and Fillmore West... and this copy includes the rare ticket, which is almost always missing - everything is kept in a 2-piece card picture box set.

Condition: 3xM- (Vinyls and Labels)/M- (7" Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Ticket)/VG++ (Poster)/VG++ (Booklet)/VG++ (Box):
LP and 7" Vinyls are bright, shiny and flawless - labels are mint... without any signs of play or handling what so ever. Ticket is extremely close to mint - poster likewise extremely close to perfect - 32 page 12"x12" colour booklet is also extremely close to mint. Fragile picture box is in near perfect condition... again hardly any noticeable wear... a simply sublime copy.
