Shakedown Street

LP (Item 609850) Arista, 1978 — Condition: Near Mint-
Also available
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".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(US gradient label pressing with Sterling stamp. Cover has minimal edge wear and is nice overall!)

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.

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.

Sweet keyboards and catchy hooks – very much the best side of Randy Edelman in the 70s!
