$

35

FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MANY FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE.  MAKES FOR SOME RARE ITEMS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT LOW PRICES - THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS FOR COLLECTORS.
THIS LP ENTITLED, "STICKY FINGERS" IS AMONG THE MOST UNIQUELY-DESIGNED ALBUMS EVER BY THE ROLLING STONES THAT USED GRAPHICS BY WORLD-FAMOUS ANDY WARHOL (BOTH ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD DESIGN).  
PRODUCED IN 1971 BY ATCO/ATLANTIC RECORDS IN STEREO, THE FRONT COVER ACTUALLY HAS A REAL WORKING ZIPPER ATTACHED AND THE OFFICIAL STAMP OF ANDY WARHOL IS ON THE INSIDE.  
THOSE FACTORS CERTAINLY DON'T HURT THE COLLECTIBILITY OF THE ALBUM PERFORMED BY PERHAPS THE MOST FAMOUS ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME.  
THE ALBUM COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT ACTUALLY APPROACHES NEAR MINT. THE FACTOR KEEPING IT FROM BEING NEAR MINT IS ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD COVER. AT SOME POINT THE FRONT COVER OF THE GATEFOLD WAS GLUED OR ATTACHED TO THE BACK COV ER OF THE GATEFOLD.  YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS WHERE THE MARKS ON POSITIONED ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS SHOWING THAT THEY HAD BEEN ATTACHED (AND THEN OPENED LEAVING THE MARKS).
THOSE MARKS COULD HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP TO BLEND INTO THE COVERS, BUT I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS PRODUCED FROM THE FACTORY TO OPEN THAT WAY (WHICH I REALIZE IS QUESTIONABLE).  A PERSON COULD TOUCH THEM IF THEY WANTED THEM TO BE LESS NOTICEABLE, BUT THEY DON'T RUIN THE DESIGN AS IS.  OTHER THAN THAT OBSERVATION, THE COVER IS NEAR MINT.     THE VINYL ALSO PLAYS EXCELLENTLY WITH ONE EXCEPTION.  THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE VERY LAST SONG OF SIDE 2 THAT DEFINITELY DO CREATE SURFACE NOISE.  YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE MUSIC, BUT THAT ONE SONG (AND THAT SONG ONLY -  "MOONLIGHT MILE") IS EFFECTED BY THOSE SCRATCHES.  THE REMINDER OF THE ALBUM PLAYS EXCELLENTLY.  
THE SONGS ARE PURE "ROLLING STONES." 
INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL RECORD SLEEVE SHOWING A PHOTO OF THE BAND ON ONE SIDE AND THE "ROLLING STONES TONGUE LOGO" ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THE OFFICIAL WORLD-FAMOUS ANDY WARHOL STAMP IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INSIDE GATEFOLD. (SEE PHOTOS) -  THE WHOLE ALBUM DESIGN SHOWS THE TOUCHES OF ANDY WARHOL'S DESIGN INCLUDING A WORKING ZIPPER ON THE FRONT COVER.
THOSE ARE THE OBSERVATIONS I HAVE MADE OF THE ALBUM AND WILL LET COLLECTORS DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE PERTINENT.  IN ANY EVENT, THE ALBUM IS QUITE UNIQUE AND COLLECTIBLE.  IT IS OBVIOUS BY THE PHOTOS I POSTED THAT THE ALBUM HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED.

THIS IS A MUSICAL AND AUDIO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY AND VALUABLE ENTERTAINING VINTAGE LP ISSUES FROM THE PAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS AND DESCRIBED ABOVE.

THOSE REFLECTIONS IN THE SHINY VINYL ARE OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE MY PHOTOS.  DEFININTELY NOT ON THE ACTUAL VINYL.     

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS (WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL (WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS. I BELIEVE I POST MORE PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM IN EVERY AUCTION THAN MOST SELLERS SO THE BUYER CAN SEE THE HIGH QUALITY THEY ARE BUYING.

THIS COPY SHIPS FROM THE U.S.A. - NOT FROM OVERSEAS WHICH SAVES A BUNCH OF SHIPPING COSTS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE.  HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RETURN AN LP RECEIVED FROM OVERSEAS??  I HAVE, AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.

WILL CAREFULLY BE SHIPPED IN A BOX ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL (VINTAGE) VINYL LP RECORDS.
