Description
I am selling some of my personal vinyl collection. Many of these records are UK pressings and were purchased by myself any time from the 1970's onwards. They have been extremely well looked after, most having only been played a handful of times on Linn or Rega turntables with a light stylus tracking force of 1.5 to 1.75 g.
Please read the description below for vinyl condition (as per the Record Collector Grading System), but for most of my records the vinyl can be considered as in near mint or excellent condition, shiny and with no significant marks – basically almost as good as when it came out of the original shop. The covers vary in condition but most are excellent just showing the usual signs of storage. Most have been stored in plastic protective covers.
A word about hairline marks. It is almost impossible to find any non-sealed record without any hairline marks - many had them from new, particularly if sold with cardboard inner sleeves. They are a result of storage and use and have little impact on sound quality. Likewise, very few original vinyl records lie totally flat. As for background noise, all records will have some background noise which varies wildly and often reflects the very variable pressing quality. I have bought new heavy pressing LP's in recent years and many of the original records I am selling not only look better but they sound better! I only draw attention to marks, warping or background noise in my listings if I consider them significant.
All records have been cleaned using high quality professional Record Cleaning Machines - either a £3,000 Keith Monks Omni VII RCM or a Moth Pro Mk II RCM. Not only does this wet clean/vacuuming process remove surface marks such as fingerprints, etc, it also significantly reduces background noise and many argue that the lower noise floor results in opening up of the sound and improved fidelity.
This album is The Rolling Stones' classic "Sticky Fingers" LP on the Rolling Stones Record Label COC 59100. Their best ever album in my opinion!
Matrix marks A4/B3. "ROLLING STONES RECORDS" and "T.M.L" also hand etched in the dead wax which mark this out as a VERY RARE FIRST EVER ENGLISH PRESSING - HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER.
Visually, I would grade the vinyl as VG+ as it has a few light marks, but none of these impact on play at all. Playing the record twice, I graded the tracks individually as between VG+ (Track 2, Side 2 which had a very low level tick behind the audio for approx 6 revolutions) to EX. Overall, the record played SUPERBLY and the audio quality was AMAZING for its age (over 40 years) - one of the best copies of this album I have heard. There was light background noise audible behind a few of the quieter tracks, but nothing that detracted from my enjoyment in any way and I am fussy!
The original Andy Warhol zipper sleeve and inner are also in very good condition for their age it was preserved in a plastic sleeve for most of its life. See the large scale photos below. The only flaw is some corrosion to the zipper which has turned it a light green colour and I could not get it to freely move. This may be remediated with a little patience if you can be bothered.
These original copies of "Sticky Fingers" are incredibly hard to find in playable condition because of the cover design which is commonly acknowledged as causing damage to the vinyl over the years. Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a LOVELY VERY PLAYABLE COPY OF THIS 42 YEAR OLD CLASSIC.
Please see my other listings for an even better condition copy of "Sticky Fingers" albeit not an original first pressing.
I dispatch worldwide in reinforced heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements either side.
Please see my other listings with many auctions of classic rock albums to come so save me as a favourite seller. Typical postage prices as follows and combined postage with other albums saves money (double album counts as 2 records):
UK: 1 record £3.50, 2 records £4.50, 3 records £6.
EU: 1 record £5.50, 2 records £7, 3 records £8.50.
International: 1 record £8.50, 2 records £10, 3 records £11.50.
Some countries may require International Signed For so please ask.
Please see my feedback, particularly on other records I have sold, and thanks for looking.
