Description
This is the ORIGINAL May 14th 1971 Spanish version of Sticky Fingers, HRSS 591-01 and not the North American re-issue often found on Ebay.com. Side 1 track-listing is as in the UK version but side 2 omits Sister Morphine and includes a petulant 30 second silence as well as the kick-ass Let It Rock from the Brown Sugar single.
In case you don't know the story...General Franco's authoritarian and staunchly Catholic Spain banned the overt drug-referenced Sister Morphine (but missed references in Dead Flowers) so the Stones record label sulked and included 30 seconds of silence (a la John Cage). Of course, Andy Warhol's naughty zipper cover had to go as well so a photo of disembodied female fingers emerging from a messily opened can of treacle was used to attract buyers. This image has become an icon itself and is a popular litho print.
This cover is graded Excellent OR ALMOST MINT..The vinyl is graded as visually MINT AS ARE THE LABELS..COMES WITH ORIGINAL INSERT, ALSO NM TO MINT!! There is no writing and there are no tears to the sleeves or the insert. The whole package is in excellent condition.
PLEASE SEE MY OTHER STONES ITEMS.
To avoid confusion, the 1980 re-issue has the number 10C 064-063616 and has the tongue logos to the right OF CENTER on the yellow record labels. My copy has the correct number HRSS 591-01 (COC 59100) for the ORIGINAL 1971 issue WITH TONGUE LOGOS TO THE LEFT OF CENTER HOLE!...
