      Excellent sounding, Jerry guitar really shines n this original pressing compared to digital and the 50th anniversary edition I once owned

      My copy is VG but still a great listen, always difficult to find original dead in any decent shape

        It says "Released: Jun 14, 1970," which was a Sunday. Was it normal for records to be released on Sundays in the US?

            Anyone else get a lot of distortion on this LP? Not sure if my copy has groove wear or it’s just how the record is cut.

              My back cover is upside down. Is that normal or a misprint?
