Grateful Dead — Shakedown Street (blue vinyl pressing) ... LP 22.99
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 more catchy overall, and with that warmer, song-based mode that marked the Dead's Arista years – really emphasized on some tracks by the presence of Donna Godchaux in the group. Titles include "Serengetti", "Fire On The Mountain", "I Need A Miracle", "Good Lovin", "France", "Shakedown Street", "If I Had The World To Give", and "All New Minglewood Blues".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(US gradient label pressing with CTH etch. Cover has some wear, aging, and initials in marker.)

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is 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 as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Grateful Dead

Terrapin Station
Arista, 1977. Near Mint-
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

Workingman's Dead
Warner, 1970. Very Good
One of the first giant hits by the Grateful Dead – and a record that has the group tightening things up a bit more, and stepping into some of the country-tinged territory of The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers! Turns out, the move is a great one – as the songs come across with a real ... LP, Vinyl record album

Grateful Dead

Wake Of The Flood
Grateful Dead, 1973. 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 ... LP, Vinyl record album

Iggy Pop

Soldier
Arista, 1980. Very Good+
One of Iggy's better solo albums – with all the manic vocals you'd want and expect, but with some really cool production touches and oddball, yet accessible songs. You got love Iggy for kicking of a high stakes second album for Arista with a song about wanting a rubber dolly and hanging out ... LP, Vinyl record album

Into The Gap
Arista, 1984. Near Mint-
Arguably the biggest album ever from the Thompson Twins – and definitely the one that got them at the top of the charts on our side of the Atlantic! The album's got some of the quirky new wave elements of their roots, but also brings in tighter production that's loaded up with samples – ... LP, Vinyl record album
