Wake Of The Flood

LP (Item 600366) Grateful Dead, 1973 — Condition: Near Mint-
The first album issued by the Grateful Dead on their own label – a setting that might make you think they'd act with less control than when at Warner Brothers, but which actually seems to have them doing the reverse! The whole thing's a great back-to-basics effort – sharp songs, rootsy instrumentation, and this nicely compact presentation of all the best ideas they'd been percolating for the past five years – maybe expanded a bit on the longer "Weather Report Suite" that ends the record, but tight and sing-songy on most of the rest – titles that include "Row Jimmy", "Stella Blue", "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away", "Eyes Of The World", and "Here Comes Sunshine".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(US pressing with TLC stamp in the textured cover.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Grateful Dead

Shakedown Street
Arista, 1978. Near Mint- Gatefold
A big late 70s moment for the Grateful Dead – a set that has the group working with Lowell George in the production chair, and cooking up a roots rock blend that showed up on plenty of turntables at the time! The record's kind of an extension of the territory of Terrapin Station, but maybe ... LP, Vinyl record album

Grateful Dead

Terrapin Station
Arista, 1977. Sealed
The first Grateful Dead album on Arista, and a set that definitely marks a new chapter for the group – one that has them using a surprising amount of soul references in their music, in part through some heavy vocal contributions from Donna Jean Godchaux! The arrangements are fuller than ... LP, Vinyl record album

Grateful Dead

Blues For Allah
Grateful Dead/United Artists, 1975. Near Mint- Gatefold
Prime Grateful Dead from the mid 70s – a time when the group were traveling famously around the globe, spinning out long songs with plenty of solos – but also able to keep on coming up with nicely sharp songs on records like this! By this point in their career, they're so ... LP, Vinyl record album

Yoko Ono

Fly
Apple, Early 70s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
Pretty wild work from Yoko Ono – a mixture of straight rock tunes and some very experimental numbers, a few of which sound so much like New York No Wave tunes from a decade later that we have to admit we're pretty darn shocked! In fact, we'd dare say the record's better than anything ... LP, Vinyl record album
Virgin (UK), 1975. Very Good+ 2LP
(Original green label pressing in the die-cut cover. Includes the printed inner sleeves, one with square corners. Outer cover has some wear and aging, bumped corners, some fraying at the top left corner, and partially unglued bottom seam.) LP, Vinyl record album

Elvis Presley

Sun Sessions
RCA, Mid 50s. Very Good+
Some of Elvis' earliest – and best – recordings! LP, Vinyl record album

Tyrannosaurus Rex

Unicorn
Blue Thumb, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold

Savoy Brown

Boogie Brothers
London, 1974. Very Good+
(Cover has some ringwear, split spine, small stains and blemish spots, initials in pen in back, and is lightly bent at the top left corner.) LP, Vinyl record album
Atco, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold
Life after Peter Gabriel – with Phil Collins doing a surprisingly great job on vocals – free from all the tripe of later years! The group are still very much in the mode of their early prog years, but balance things out with a few catchier tunes – a mode that's a bit like the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Beach Boys

Endless Summer
Capitol, 1960s/1974. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
A definitive Beach Boys collection that graced many a stereo back in the 70s – filled with gems that include "Let Him Run Wild", "Warmth Of The Sun", "Catch A Wave", "Don't Worry Baby", "You're So Good To Me", "All Summer Long", ... LP, Vinyl record album

XTC

Mummer
Virgin (UK), 1982. Very Good+
A really beautiful record from XTC – one that seemed to unlock a slightly deeper spirit in the songwriting of Andy Partridge, and which also introduced some vaguely pastoral elements the group never had at the start! The style here is a bit hard to describe easily – still as catchy as ... LP, Vinyl record album
