COVER
Front: deep blue color, no thumbnails or laminate lifting, 3D photo has a few very light scratches that don’t show up under normal viewing, clean spine with inverted type, solid seams with some ink rubs, crisp un-feathered opening
Back: glossy laminate with no thumbnails or laminate lifting, Robert Stace name in the lower right of the inner box (see photo)
Gatefold: clean with no graffiti
INNER: original inner with no splits plus an archival inner
DESCRIPTION: This LP has all the hallmarks of a first mono edition, namely: the darker blue than normal of the laminated cover when compared to a stereo, the name Robert Stace on the back (see photo), the mono type at the bottom right of the back instead of a peep hole in the upper right, the inverted type on the spine, the 1P/P1 type in the dead wax, and the unboxed deep groove labels. Despite the uniformed rants of some young ‘rock critics’, this remains one the Stones most creative LPs, along with Between the Buttons and Beggar’s Banquet.
Insurance included.
_______________________________
International shipping only to: Germany, France, UK, Austria, Australia, Japan, and Canada by Priority with tracking and insurance. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I ship once a week, but always within 5 days of your payment. Combined shipping is possible for up to three LPs with a small surcharge for added weight.
Records are shipped in the highest quality LP mailers with the record secured outside of the cover to avoid seam splits. Returned LPs must be shipped in the same way. Damage to the cover or disc will void returns.
Please don’t bid if you own a Crosley or similar inexpensive (aka “cheap”) turntable. LPs that play perfectly on a real turntable may have problems playing correctly on a toy turntable with no ability to adjust tone arm tracking weight or anti-skid. These junk tables will destroy your collection. My advice: stop buying LPs until you purchase a real (non-USB) turntable, new or used.
______________________________________________________________
I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.
The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG++
Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.
Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.
As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
