Description
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE ITEM DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT ALL PHOTOS AS THERE IS A LOT TO DESCRIBE!
THIS IS THE ONE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! SUPER RARE COPY WITH ALL THE ATTRIBUTES.
BUT, PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING AS THERE ARE A FEW IMPERFECTIONS! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE! READ ON!
There several dents / scrapes / indentations in the center of the rear cover, from being stored in front of or next to The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers zipper.(please see pics)
There is some staining of an unknown origin on the rear cover that does not adversely affect the front of the poster, however there may be some very minor bleeding through to the front onto Geezer's eye. It's very hard to tell because of the poor definition or graininess of the picture. (please see pics)Evidently, this poster was displayed back in the day using tape on the rear. There are tape removal marks in all 4 corners of the back side of the poster.(please see pics) There are no pin holes.
The vinyl has typical wear with age that may cause surface noise typical with a Very Good grading.
IF ANY OF THESE ISSUES ARE A CONCERN FOR YOU, PLEASE DON'T BUY IT.

The Vinyl is in Very Good condition, but has typical wear from age that WILL cause surface noise typical with a Very Good grading. Even with a Very Good grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. Certainly, more noticible during the quiet parts.
Nice, fairly clean labels with spindle marks.
The Embossed cover is in Very Good condition, but has typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings / soft corners, creases, crumples, fading, scrapes, dings and ring wear. There are no split seamsThis cover typically doesn't age well, but this one is in Very Good shape. The LP is in a plain inner sleeve.
The Original Poster is in Very Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings / soft corners, creases, crumples, fading, scrapes, dings, etc...
