The Gilded Place Of Sin - Original 1969 US A&M label 11-track LP

Scarce original 1969 US A&M Records 11-track vinyl LP - the debut by Gram Parsons country rock combo - and the essential blueprint on the country rock amalgam.

Vinyl has the tan/olive company label with boxed trumpet logo/company name. Vinyl is housed in a generic company add inner sleeve and ultimately in a matt finish, back pasted picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):

Vinyl is supremely shiny - has no signs of play or handling in itself. Vinyl has a tine pressing defect inflicting 3 low clicks between tracks 2 & 3 on Side 1. A playgrading would otherwise be at least near mint.

Labels has a handful simple, faint, short and superficial spindletraces. Labels are close to mint, vinyl overall close to mint.


Cover is still in its original - but opened - shrink wrapping - perfect apart from a top spine corner dent - top of the pops.
