Hi! You're looking at a great overall condition 2 LP Set which is FIRST PRESSING Specialty Pressing and a classic 1972 album by THE ROLLING STONES titled "Exile on Main St."--the album features peak performances by MICK JAGGER, KEITH RICHARDS, BILL WYMAN, CHARLIE WATTS and MICK TAYLOR (with contributions by producer JIMMY MILLER on drums, IAN STEWART on piano, AL PERKINS on steel guitar, BILL PLUMMER on acoustic bass, BILLY PRESTON and NICKY HOPKINS on piano and keyboards, BOBBY KEYS on saxophones and J. PRICE on trumpet & trombone) on songs including "Tumbling Dice," "Rocks Off," "Ventilator Blues," "Happy," "Torn & Frayed," "Sweet Virginia," and many others.  The LP is was issued on the Rolling Stones Records label with the serial number COC 2-2900, is a Stereo issue and 1st PRESSING Specialty Pressing with the Artisan logo and in a Unipak sleeve and was made in the United States in 1972.
This 2 LP Set is great overall condition and the vinyl is in VG+ condition on sides 1, 3 and 4 and plays VERY WELL (THESE LPs HAVE BEEN SOUND-GRADED IN THEIR ENTIRETY) with a number of moderate and light scuffs and some hairline marks that do not significantly impact play, and in strong VG condition on side 2 with a couple of light scratches that cause some light pops for a portion of the first track ("Sweet Virginia") and, to a lesser degree, the last track ("Loving Cup") of the side, but no skipping or other significant problems and just a few light, scattered individual pops in a couple of spots; the Unipak Gatefold cover is in NEAR MINT- condition and has light dings on the tips and upper center edge, a slight crease on the lower right corner of the front cover and just very light shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout!  The two ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES are both included and has some splits on three of the sides but are in excellent shape otherwise!

Vinyl Grading Standards (unless otherwise indicated, LPs are visually graded)

Mint (or M) – Sealed and effectively perfect with no signs of wear or ever having been played.

Near Mint -- A record with only the slightest evidence of ever having been handled.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A very clean record that has no marks aside from slight scuffs and abrasions caused by removal from a paper inner sleeve or perhaps a few marks on the label caused by a turntable spindle.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches.  Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).
