Description
(Rolling Stones Records COC 59100 UK LP 1971)
This is an original UK pressing in great overall condition! It has a matt sleeve which has a die-cut zip area on the front sleeve. It has a square ended zip. There is also an inner "underwear" picture panel. The sleeve has a "pinched" top & bottom spine. Only the earliest copies came with the "pinched" spine. It comes with its original company plain paper inner sleeve. It also comes complete with its original Picture/ Information Insert. This is printed on thick paper. The record has A-4/ B-4 matrix stampers. "T.M.L." and "Rollins Stones Records" are etched in the dead wax on both sides.
A genuine UK original 1971 pressing of this classic "Stones" LP. In great overall condition too. These are getting rare now.
Sleeve: Very nice indeed! There is a very small 2 cm area of mild indentation/ zip rub marks on the rear sleeve. This is from being stacked with other "Sticky Fingers" albums at the pressing plant. These are on virtually every pressing I've ever seen. There is a very small 1 cm hairline pen line on the front. This is near the top right corner. It hardly really notices. There is light or very mild rubbing wear to the bottom edge on some areas.
The die-cut area is in fantastic condition & shows next to no wear. There is just one very minor crease at the belt buckle. This hardly notices. The zip has seized up & doesn't seem to open. I don't want to force it. However, it probably could be rectified very carefully. But I would personally leave it alone. The spine is in fantastic condition. The text is clearly visible & shows no rubbing wear. This sleeve is extremely prone to wear. However, this is an extremely nice copy. ! Overall, the sleeve is in Very NEAR EX condition.
Vinyl: Very nice indeed! Just a few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs can be seen under a strong light. There is a very light 6 cm hairline surface sleeve rub mark on one side. There is a 1 cm hairline pressing mark that goes around the groove slightly. Again, this hardly really notices. The paper inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a few areas. These, again, are barely visible under a strong light. Overall, NEAR EX condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition & show next to no spindle wear. The company plain paper inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & fading. It has no seam splits.
The Picture/ Information Insert is in Excellent condition & shows minimal wear only.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in many places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There is some mild crackle at the start of the track "I Got The Blues". This eases out fairly quickly. Overall, a Near Excellent to Excellent audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for non UK bidders on this listing.
Please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elobarated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
DISCOUNT WILL BE GIVEN ON POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS.
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
Please note that I cannot reimburse payments for any uninsured items lost in the post. Sorry!
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
