Pictures:   Click here to view photo gallery   General:   Very early unboxed stereo pressing complete with its original stickered M/S hole sleeve, poster and Let It Bleed inner sleeve.

The inner sleeve is the original version without the London Bach Choir credit blanked out. Although providing the astonishing and apparently impromptu introduction to 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' they later took exception to their inclusion after hearing some of the other lyrics on the album. Only the very earliest copies of the inner sleeve carry the unblanked credit.

The outer sleeve is the James Upton version which has the 1968 Patents Application No below the M/S hole on the rear.   Audio quality:   Unless otherwise stated below the audio quality of records I sell will always be at least excellent. Grading (vinyl):   EX-   (a few light hairlines and surface marks, very occasional click) Grading (labels):   EX   (some light spindle marks) Grading (outer sleeve):   EX+   (very light creasing) Grading (inner sleeve):   EX   (light creasing, number in biro front top left, tiny 1cm seam splits to each edge - will be supplied with additional plain white inner sleeve to prevent any further damage) Grading (inserts):   EX-   (light creasing, small 1cm tear to centre right fold)   Summary:   A very nice unboxed stereo copy.

Note: By placing a bid you acknowledge that you have read and fully understood the following paragraph.
The above rates include a small handling fee. This covers the cost of materials, the time to pick and package the item(s) securely, and transport to the Post Office. You only pay what it costs but this is not just the price of the postage. Emails requesting postage cost breakdowns or even cheaper rates will not receive a reply.

All items are carefully inspected and professionally cleaned on a Keith Monks Record Cleaning machine (as used by the BBC) prior to despatch. Records are shipped in heavy duty industry standard record mailers with additional protection to ensure that they reach you in exactly the condition they were despatched. LPs are removed from both outer sleeve and inner sleeve and placed in a shipping inner and outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. In the unlikely event that you're not completely satisfied with any item simply return it within seven days of receipt in its original condition and packaging for a full no-quibble refund (you must pay the return postage cost).

Despatch:
All items are normally despatched within five working days of receipt of cleared funds. UK buyers paying by cheque please allow at least a further seven days for cheque clearance. For international shipments please also allow time for customs clearance within your country. Requests to falsify values on customs declarations will be ignored.

Payment terms:
In order to minimise the risk of fraud, PayPal will ONLY be accepted as a payment method for sales which have an aggregate value of £150.00 or less. This means that if your total invoice value (excluding postage and packing), whether it is for one item or more than one item, exceeds £150.00 payment by PayPal will NOT be accepted and any PayPal payment will be treated as non-payment and refunded. Payment of such invoices must be by cleared funds only. This means by a cheque drawn on a UK bank, by bank transfer (IBAN, Swift details available to the winning bidder on request), or by other methods acceptable to both parties. These terms override any other payment options shown elsewhere on this page. By placing a bid for this item you accept that you understand and agree to these terms. Absolutely no exceptions.

I am always interested in buying high quality collections of LPs. If you have a collection to sell please use the 'Ask seller a question' link to send brief details (quantity, type of music with a few examples, and a contact email address) first.
