Description
The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
(Decca LK 5025 UK LP 1969)
This is an original UK Mono LP pressing in very nice overall condition! It has a front laminated sleeve which has a "Mono/ Stereo" die-cut circular cut-out on the rear sleeve. It has a factory "pinched" top & bottom spine. The sleeve does not have the "Includes Free Poster" sticker on the front. Not all copies came with the sticker. The sleeve is printed by "Upton Printing Group".
It has its original custom "red border" Decca Inner Sleeve. This is printed on paper. One side has the track details & recording information printed on it. The other side has generic Decca record care information. It comes complete with its original Fold-Out Poster. This is printed on slightly glossy paper on the picture side.
The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has red "unboxed" Decca labels. The matrix numbers and mother stampers are as follows:
Side 1: XARL-9394.P-2A (RA 1)
Side 2: XARL 9364.P-2A (BK 1)
This is a genuine UK Mono 1st pressing. Complete with inner sleeve & poster. It has the earliest matrix numbers and mother stampers. Mono copies are much rarer than "Stereo" copies in the UK. This was the last UK "Stones" LP to be issued in Mono. It is surprisingly hard to find. Especially complete with the poster & inner sleeve. This is a very reasonable copy too. Don't miss out!
Sleeve: There is some light or very minor rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is a very small & light crease in the bottom sleeve opening corner tip area, & at the centre rear sleeve opening area. This crease hardly notices. There is some light or very minor ringwear on some areas. There is a finger tip sized area of light or minor indentation marks on the rear sleeve. It appears that the indentation marks have been caused by being stored next to the "Sticky Fingers" LP. As stated, these are very mild or minor. The rear sleeve has not been scratched or torn. Overall, EXCELLENT condition.
Vinyl: There are some light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. The paper inner sleeve, over time, light, mild or more moderate dull surface marks on some areas. Often these are small or very small speckled surface marks. These are mainly on Side 2. Unfortunately, over time, these paper sleeve surface marks are inevitable. They do not affect playback at all. Again, they can only be seen under a strong light. There is a finger-tip sized surface rub mark at the start of Side 1. There are two light 2.5 cm hairline marks. Both are on Side 2. Overall, Very Good+ condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear.
The custom "red border" information inner sleeve in Very Good++ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & creasing. It has no seam splits.
The Poster is in Very Good++ condition. It has never been used or stuck to a wall. There is a mild crease through the poster when folded. The crease is approximately 18-20 cm in length. Otherwise, there are some light or minimal handling creases on some areas. There are no rips or tears.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in many places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There are no noticeable clicks or pops. Overall, an Excellent audio copy!
I shall place the vinyl into a separate plain paper inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeve from any damage during transit.
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are now the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
