Description
The Rolling Stones " Let It Bleed" Decca ? SKL 5025 Vinyl, LP, Stereo Reissue,
The back cover shows the ''indicator hole'' to let the inner sleeve peep through: blue=stereo. Includes a printed inner sleeve.
The vinyl has lots of hairlines but plays through with no hop, skip, or jump (on my Dansette). The sleeve shows minimal signs of wear (apart from a small mark to the back - see photo). The spine is intact and completely legible. The printer inner sleeve is creased but intact. There is no poster.

"Let It Bleed" is the Rolling Stones' eighth British and tenth American, released in December 1969 by Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States. Released shortly after the band's 1969 American Tour, it is the follow-up to 1968's "Beggars Banquet" and the last album by the band to feature Brian Jones as well as the first to feature Mick Taylor.
The album cover displays a surreal sculpture designed by Robert Brownjohn. The image consists of the Let It Bleed record being played by the tone-arm of an antique phonograph, and a record-changer spindle supporting several items stacked on a plate in place of a stack of records: a tape canister labelled Stones – Let It Bleed, a clock dial, a pizza, a tyre and a cake with elaborate icing topped by figurines representing the band. The cake parts of the construction were prepared by then-unknown cookery writer Delia Smith. The reverse of the LP sleeve shows the same "record-stack" melange in a state of disarray. The artwork was inspired by the working title of the album, which was Automatic Changer.
The album cover for Let It Bleed was among the ten chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of "Classic Album Cover" postage stamps issued in January 2010.
In 2000, Q magazine ranked it at number 28 in its list of "The 100 Greatest British Albums Ever". In 2001, the TV network VH1 placed Let It Bleed at 24th on their "100 Greatest Albums of R 'n' R" survey. In 1997, it was voted the 27th "Best Album Ever" by The Guardian. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it at number 32 on the magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
