Start 1980ies RCA Victor lavel issue of Hot Tunas debut album recorded live at the New Orleans House in Berkeley, California in September 1969 and originally released on vinyl in 1970.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl has the generic black company labels with solid medium size fonted 'Victor' text to the left of centre hole - upper outline, large fonted RCA logo - just next to nipper logo - held in a sturdy back pasted picture cover. Both labels and cover features the AYL catalogue number prefix.

Vinyl is lustrous as the day it was issue - barely any signs of handling besides a touch of sleeve wear - the kind you have to loog closely after to discover. Perfect labels - overall straight near mint.
Cover has likewise barely any signs of age or handling - near perfect as well - nice.
