Rolling Stones
Let It Bleed
UNBOXED (1st press) DECCA
QUALITY 158g

In my opinion this is the Stones at their best....Released in 1969, the record is peppered with hit tunes.
I have just had the utter pleasure of playing her all the way through.

QUALITY 158g
VG+.
Remaining as flat now, as she was when born, the audio screams out with a glorious rich quality!
Even the run-ins and outs are lovely and quiet with just the faintest of faint crackle-reminding you; you are listening to a slab of vinyl...not an MP3 or CD...
I have given her a gentle clean on my VC-S MKII Vacuum Recorde Cleaner and I noticed the difference! There remains some very, VERY light and occasional background noise...the odd pop here and there, noticed at the start of track 4, side 2-but nothing offensive at all...You Can't Always Get What You Want ;) I also noted a light revolutionionary bit of background noise on You Got The Silver-but again: it wasn't offensive at all.
The disc carries some light visual marks-but they knew how to make them back then-and how to party too ;)
SHINY as the day she was born too.
158g of heavyweight vinyl quality!

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED-CLICK ON THEM FOR EVEN LARGER IMAGES AND SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADING AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Sleeve:
VG+.
This cover has been used...but not abused....There are small lines of spidering to the laminate near the opening, as well as some emanating from the seams and corners. The corners are lightly knocked and rubbed-as is the spine....However-NO SPLITS-NO WRITING!
There are some small spots of water to the back card but again-nothing bad at all...Please see the detailed images for yourselves.
There is the hole to the top right corner on the back, to show whether the copy inside is a Mono or Stereo copy.
UK PATENTS APPLICATION No. 43212/68
Has the outline of where the sticker advertising the poster was, on the front, bottom left.
Text to the bottom right on the reverse:
"Sleeve Printed In England by Upton Printing Group"

(As a note-did you know the cake to the front and back of the cover was Deliah Smith's very first professional job?!)


 Inner:
EX!
 It is an ORIGINAL DECCA inner with the blue squares-designed to show the buyer whethere there is a mono or stereo copy of the record inside the sleeve, through the hole to the back.
It has survived the test of time incredibly well and has the original poly-lining-which has certainly looked after this record for all these years.

ALL IN ALL THIS IS AN ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION AND IS A COLLECTORS PIECE IN IT'S OWN RIGHT
A SOLID ALL-ROUND PACKAGE OF A CLASSIC ALBUM
STILL SOUNDS AS FRESH TODAY AS IT WAS WHEN BORN IN '69!
