THE ROLLING STONES: Exile On Main St Original 1972 UK 18-track double LP

Welcome to my listings.

Before you place a bid would you / could you take the time to please read my listing including the Terms & Conditions.
Terms & Conditions you will find below at the bottom of my listing and unless I have mis-written them I believe they are quite clear. If they are not or you wish to clarify anything then please message/email me before bidding.

If you just want to skip to the details about this item, see the descriptive text below and check out the photos in the listing by enlarging and scrolling through.

All the LP's that are listed have been cleaned by The Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Pro Cleaner which incorporates an ultrasonic cleaning cycle to a more conventional mechanical cleaning via bi-directional rotating micro fiber cleaning drums, the result is the cleanest LP's ever. Unlike other record cleaners the ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner bursts millions of microscopic bubbles off the surface of the record all the way to the bottom of the groove, where no fibre is fine enough to reach. Among vinyl cleaners the Audio Desk System Vinyl Cleaner is unique in using filtered air for drying, rather than one of the static-inducing suction systems employed by other vinyl cleaning products.

All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

All overseas Bidders please do not check out before I send you an invoice.

If you are from outside the UK and have won more than one record please request an invoice from me with combined postage prior to checkout.

THE ROLLING STONES: Exile On Main St Scarce and now hard to find Original 1972 UK 18-track double LP, housed in the original internal pocket gatefold picture sleeve with illustrated card inners NO POSTCARDS. A nice copy of this first pressing of this classic Stones album COC69100.

NOT PLAY GRADED: Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. More noise than others. Please remember that this is an original 49 year old vinyl. A habit of cleaning the vinyl with a carbon brush before each play will reduce any static. If possible you should have the LP professionally cleaned.

I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound of an LP.

THE COVER: The matt gatefold sleeve cover shows very light wear to the top and bottom edges. There is unfortunately damage to the spine ( view images ) with creasing and wear. The text still remains clear and visible. The surface has just very light storage scuffing, with tape residue which was used to obviously stop the inside pocket from splitting as the fitting was very tight when the to inners were housed in the pocket. the opening edges are still crisp very no evidence of fethering. There are no signs of any other forms of damage. I have graded the cover in VERY GOOD condition.

THE BACK COVER: The back again reveals a whisper of light storage scuffing, otherwise there are no other defects. I have graded the back cover again in VERY GOOD condition.

THE INNER SLEEVE: The illustrated card inners have both been graded in
EXCELLENT+ condition with no visible signs of damage

THE VINYL: Both sides of this vinyl LP show a very clean deep beautiful shine. There are no deep scratches to any side of this LP. There are whimsical hairline marks only to both sides when held under a strong light. I have graded the vinyl in EXCELLENT+ condition. Still Awesome conditioned vinyl.
Side 1 in EXCELLENT+ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT+ condition.
Side 1 in EXCELLENT+ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT+ condition.

THE LABELS: The labels are in EXCELLENT+ condition showing virtually no spindle marks or wear around the central spindle hole.

Everybody on here believes they are an expert well we are not, we are human and can sometimes get things wrong. If I have got it so wrong I will work with you to resolve it. I can not be any fairer than that, but please check my feedback you will see I do not get it wrong that often, I try very hard to give an accurate description, apart from the one member who left negative because I would not be subjected to feedback hostaging.
