Listing Description

The Holy Grail for Stones Collectors: A Time Capsule from 1981

You are bidding on a True First Pressing of The Rolling Stones' masterpiece, Tattoo You, strictly Factory Sealed and never opened. This is a genuine "New Old Stock" (NOS) copy, preserved in its original shrinkwrap for over 40 years.

As a 1981 US first pressing (Catalog: COC 16052), this copy likely features the legendary "RL" (Bob Ludwig) Masterdisk mastering, widely considered the definitive audiophile way to hear "Start Me Up" and "Waiting on a Friend."

Condition Details:

  • Shrinkwrap: Fully intact, tight, and original. No evidence of resealing.

  • Jacket: Sharp corners, crisp edges, and no ring wear (as it has been protected by the original seal). No cut-outs or punch holes.

  • Vinyl: MINT / UNPLAYED. The ultimate archive-quality copy.

Shipping & Returns Policy

Professional Packaging

  • Secure Handling: Your record will be shipped in a dedicated, heavy-duty cardboard 45 RPM mailer with extra cardboard stiffeners to prevent bending or crushing during transit.

  • Protection: The vinyl will be housed in a new paper sleeve and placed in a clear poly outer sleeve to ensure the labels and surfaces stay pristine.

Fast & Tracked Shipping

  • Handling Time: I ship within 1–2 business days of receiving cleared payment.

  • Tracking: A tracking number will be provided immediately upon shipment so you can follow your record’s journey.

  • Combined Shipping: If you purchase multiple records, I am happy to combine shipping to save you money. Please wait for a revised invoice before paying.

Returns & Satisfaction

  • The "Collector’s Guarantee": I want you to be thrilled with your purchase. If you feel the record does not match the description or grading, please contact me directly before leaving feedback.

  • 30-Day Returns: I accept returns within 30 days. The item must be returned in the same condition it was received. Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs unless there was a significant error in the listing.
