VERY SCARCE ORIGINAL SPANISH ALTERNATE COVER THE ROLLING STONES STICKY FINGERS
HISPAVOX HRSS 591-01
This an original copy of the infamous alternate release of Sticky Fingers which was only available in Spain for a short period of time. The classic Warhol designed zipper sleeve was apparently banned because little was left to the imagination with the close-up of the jeans-clad male crotch. However, when the alternative design with a can of treacle was produced, seemingly Fowler's Treacle weren't too pleased either.
As well as objecting to the cover the Spanish censors also asked for the track Sister Morphine to be cut. Bizarrely as well as replacing it with a live version of Let It Rock the record company also included 30 seconds of silence which is noted on the label as 3. ... 0'30".
This album was re-released in 1981 on EMI and counterfeited in the 1990s, generally with poorly printed covers and on coloured wax. This is the original 1971 pressing with the 30" silent track. In addition the album has:
- Sticky Fingers graphic label (later releases only have the lips)
- UK catalogue number in top right under the HRSS 591-1 on cover (the 1981 version only has one number)
- Stamped matrix numbers HRSS-591-01-A-1 & B-1
- Fabricado por Hispavox S.A. Madrid on label
- Distribuido par Hispavox S.A. on the sleeve
- Grooved label
Album cover is overall in EX condition with some creasing to the bottom right.
Please note there is no insert with this copy.
Happy bidding!
Tree Porcupine Tree Porcupine Tree Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,
despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
