(((Audio)))

This is a phenomenal aural delivery. THE best I have heard from this Stones monster classic. Tones are very sharp and concise. The loud cut delivery projects magnificently, to convey a wonderful array of tones and the bass frequency is so vibrant, it is unbelievable! Instrumentation is a delight, with the percussion beat delivered with exquisite, mellow tones, especially on Shine A Light ! With only a handful of plays, an exceptional audio, with very little to fault. Mostly clear channels and will find very difficult to match . These virginal grooves have been undisturbed for years and plays as if fresh off the press! Remarkable and extremely scarce in this hardly played condition .

Vinyls

Mirror like appearance and a pleasure to view! Excellent visual . If angled 45 degrees, there is the odd faint surface/hairline/sleeve removal mark visible , where outer sleeve has brushed the surface. One vinyl has a 0.5 mm whitish mark which is non audible. Quite difficult to observe, as any marks tend to disappear beneath  the high gloss of the vinyls .One of the best examples of this historic Stones’ classic!

What a sensational album release !

Plain,  white inner sleeves . EXCELLENT-  condition-just one tear on central edge.

Complete 12 set of post cards – not in concertina format  but in three segments-excellent/+ condition

Gatefold sleeve

VG+/EXCELLENT -  condition

Remarkable condition and an incredible 1st issue presentation . 

1st issue, gatefold sleeve,  where records are pulled out from inner compartment. Shorewood Packaging manufacture with that extra thick card .Later issues were not so robust and were thinner, as flimsier card was used .The feel and appearance of this album sleeve is fresh and clean. Nothing major to fault, save for a minor tear on internal, lower edge of inner spinal column only. It extends on lower left rear face, which is approx. 0.5 cm in length, caused by the removal of the vinyls from the internal compartment. Not very visible and does not catch the eye but you need to know.

Left spinal edge is starting to show signs of wear .

 Stored away from any sunlight, making the faces on exterior appear almost white, with very minor yellowing observed along the spinal column ,  through the course of time.  Minor edge wear visible . Very difficult to locate a 1st issue sleeve in this remarkable format and  makes this a highly collectable gatefold sleeve .

Inner picture sleeves- Excellent+ condition . No seam splits. No rips. No tears at all. Fresh feel.One ultra light scuff on one corner only !

Vinyl matrices A2/B1/C2/D2

1st UK pressing with the double matrix with Rolling Stones Records etched in to every run off. All four sides have this genuine endorsement  , and has the 1st pressed hallmark – the inverted V (which is always found 1st pressings) and the artists palette! All factory stamps complete and clearly visible, to make this an exceptional example of this ultimate Stones’ classic .

Becoming harder to locate in this complete format,  and in remarkable condition. Certainly one, for the keen vinyl enthusiast. With a sensational aural delivery and highly polished vinyls , an absolute gem of an example. Exile On Main Street is now considered widely among the Band’s finest work and is noted to be one of the defining masterpieces of the rock era !
