The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed

(Decca SKL 5025 UK LP 1969)

 

This is the original UK Stereo pressing in great overall condition! It has a front laminated sleeve which has a small mono/ stereo circular cut-out on the rear. It is also front stickered advertising the poster. It comes with a custom "blue border" Decca inner sleeve which has the track details on one side. It also comes complete with its original poster. The poster is pressed on quality matt paper, which has a semi-buff feel to the blank side. A genuine 1st pressing poster.

The record is pressed on thick vinyl and has unboxed Decca labels. The matrix numbers are: XZAL-9363 P-4W and XZAL-9364 P-5W. The mother stampers are AB 2 & AI 1 respectively. A genuine UK 1st pressing of this classic "Stones" LP. Complete with sticker, poster and inner sleeve. These are getting rare now! This is a very respectable copy too. Don't miss out!

Sleeve: Very nice indeed! There is a light scratch mark on the front of the sleeve. There is some very light rubbing wear too. NEAR EX condition.

Vinyl: Very nice indeed! There are some light sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There is also one light hairline mark, & a small patch of more moderate sleeve rubs on Side 1. VG++ condition. I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays near excellent to excellently. Really well indeed. The labels are lovely and clean and show mild spindle wear only.

The inner sleeve is in VG++ condition. There are some mild creases around the shape of the record. There are no seam splits or tears. 

The poster is unused and in Excellent condition.

I shall place the vinyl in a separate polythene-lined plain inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeve from damage in transit.

    >>  Grading Information All grading is very strict & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested.

MINT Condition = As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate!

NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.

EX Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ringwear or edgewear.

NEAR EX Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only; that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ringwear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.

VG Condition = A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed!!

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7". I use a cruciform box for larger orders (4-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).

I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...

Sorry, I only accept Paypal, or money sent in a registered letter from overseas buyers.

Please note that I cannot reimburse payments for any uninsured items lost in the post. Sorry!
