GRATEFUL DEAD Mars Hotel GD-102 1974 First Press LP 1st Owner PLAYED 1x to TAPE

Description: GRATEFUL DEAD Mars Hotel GD-102 1974 First Press LP 1st Owner PLAYED 1x to TAPE DETAILS & PROVENANCE;As a Professional Player for almost 30 years, most of my Collection was purchased New, both visually examined & carefully listened to for defects*, I then transferred to my Revox A77 open reel so that the many bands I worked with could study the tunes ( I ULTIMATELY ENDED UP WITH LESS OCCUPIED STORAGE SPACE WHEN TRANSFERED TO 10.5" OPEN REEL ;-}Turntable used was either my THORENS TD-24 with a 12 Shure tonearm or another THORENS with an Infinity Graphite "BLACK WIDOW" damped tonearm. ( I ALWAYS HAD TOP-GRADE EQUIPMENT, AS I ALSO DID HIGH-END SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS ;-} AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS;CLEAN, TIGHT SPINDLE HOLES, MANY WERE EITHER PLAYED ONCE OR NOT PLAYED AT ALL! I WAS VERY BUSY AS A PLAYER THOSE DAYS. EITHER WAY; My M.O. WAS TO STORE VINYL IN VINYL SLEEVES, STORING THE ORGINAL SLEEVES,INSERTS,ETC. I STILL HAVE THOSE ITEMS & IF IMPORTANT, I WILL SWAP OUT & INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE WHEN POSSIBLE.RECORDS WERE TYPICALLY PLAYED ONCE, then stored within my Library {INCLUDING JAZZ,POP,CLASSIC,WORLD MUSIC,ETC.;-}If it's NOT PURCHASED NEW, I will describe it as such. FYI; Been around vinyl collecting since the 1950's. Purchased both Private Collections, from stores where friends worked, received many as gifts,etc. I WILL BE LISTING RECORDS FROM MY VERY LARGE COLLECTION, BUT FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF U R LOOKING FOR SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR!* NOTE: I WAS A PERFECTIONIST WHO FREQUENTLY EXCHANGED FOR A BETTER COPY;For example: I TOOK THE BEE GEES 1ST ALBUM BACK ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES AS IT WAS SO "DECCA-LIKE WITH POOR PRESS-QUALITY!
