ROLLING STONES - TATTOO YOU

IN MAGNIFICENT ONE PLAY MINT MINUS!!! CONDITION

FIRST PRESS WITH A MINT MINUS SLEEVE

VERY EARLIEST 1ST PRESS A2/B2

• CATALOGUE:ROLLING STONES CUN39108
• MATRIX:CUN 39114 A 2 / B 2

THIS IS THE FIRST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH AN A2/B2 MATRIX. FAR MORE COMMON IS THE A3/B3 OR HYBRIDS A2/B3, OR A3/B2. SO HERE THEN IS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE MATRIX FOR THIS RELEASE 

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE

THIS DISC PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WITH THE ONLY NOTABLE NOISE BEING A VERY VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE TRACE OF STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE TYPICAL OF THE THINNER 80'S VINYL USED. THIS CAN ONLY BE HEARD ON OCCASION AND ONLY IF YOU SIT RIGHT ON TOP OF YOUR SPEAKERS AS I DO WHILST TYPING THIS

THERE ARE ADJUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC MINT MINUS!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB. FLAT AND CLEAN AND THE UNLAMINATED SURFACE HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WHICH IS STILL RICH AND VIBRANT.EVEN THE VULNERABLE BLACK BORDER IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE , AND INCREDIBLY JUST ONE MINUSCULE ONE CLOSE TO THE SPINE.NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR AMAZINGLY EVEN RECORD SHAPE TO THIS THIN CARDED COVER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED, AND THAT IS A REAL RARITY

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AGAIN FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

JUST AN IMMACULATE SLEEVE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG EITHER EDGE

THE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, HAS THE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THERE ARE NO CREASES OR SPLITS AT ALL.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS GREAT COVER  MINT MINUS!!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
