Description
Thanks for looking at my auction.
For auction this week are some interesting albums, with a theme of condition. These are offered from my personal collection. Please feel free to bid with complete confidence..
On Offer is :
The Rolling Stones
Sticky Fingers - zip sleeve.
CON59100
A1/B1 Matrix.....
The very first pressings of these, of course featured the quickly withdrawn 'large round ended' zip, withdrawn, due to the damage the zip caused to other discs in the racks.
The early available copies of this featured A3/B3 matrix numbers.
This superb record is definitely a '70's' original, (no barcode) which slightly oddly features the A1/B1 matrix.
Could this possibly be the first version of a mid 70's re-press?
In any case, the 2 consequential parts of this common (but always trashed) album are virtually perfect. The pressings were low quality, and most played horribly, even from new. This one doesn't..
Also, the seriously fragile zip sleeve is simply the best one I have ever seen.
Here are the condition descriptions -
Sleeve NEAR MINT.
Please see photo's. Bright white, no tears, rips, creases, or other damage. Just simply outstanding. Just the tiniest amount of corner edge bumping, and I am being very fussy, as this is a 'keeper copy'
The critical zip area is amazing, with no 'roughing' either side of the zip, and just the faintest crease to the delicate belt area, showing no roughing to the edges, and no feathering to the opening edges..The spine is similarly near mint. No grubbing, finger marks, or damage or wear of any kind.
Insert - MINT. Perfect.
Warhol painting to sleeve inner, EXCELLENT, downgraded due to zip indentation, which does not carry through to the back sleeve, and of course can't be seen under usual inspection.
Inner sleeve - original 70's, NEAR MINT
Disc -Labels - NEAR MINT. This disc is probably a one play copy.
Visual grade (A+B) NEAR MINT
Just superb, all gloss, as new. Small pressing glitch noticeable to the naked eye on both sides, 3mm approx. No effect on play. Under very close examination, the disc has been removed from the inner maybe 2/3 times.
Aural Grade (A+B) NEAR MINT
As mentioned, often this vinyl plays woefully, but this copy is totally on the button. Through my high end system the sound was clear, clean, crisp, and full, with no detractions at all.
A stunning keeper addition to your collection, and possibly one of the best remaining copies of this to come to market.
Grade - Near Mint / Near Mint.
Grading fully guaranteed.
No reserve.
Thanks!
I am happy to combine postage.
