ARTIST: THE ROLLING STONES

TITLE: Sympathy for the devil/Prodigal son

LABEL: DECCA DL 25610

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: GERMANY

YEAR OF RELEASE: 1974

MATRIX CODE SIDE A: D-17305 (Stamped)

MATRIX CODE SIDE B: D-17306 (Stamped)

CONDITION: (vinyl/cover)NM/NM ***TOP COPY!*** (Please read detailed information below!)

COVER; the fragile cover is in great nick with just some minor wear at the corners and a faint beginning of ringwear. Very nice and grades as NEAR MINT. Please contact me if you need more information and/or better pictures.

VINYL; the vinyl shows great lustre with only a light scuffline on side 2. Very nice and visually graded as NEAR MINT. It plays really nice with just some distant hissing in the run in-grooves. Audible graded as NEAR MINT.

LABELS; both labels are very clean with just the faintest of wear near the centrehole. Very nice.

I use GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS – MINT/NEAR MINT/VERY GOOD PLUS/VERY GOOD/GOOD/POOR. The grading MINT (M) is hardly ever used - and at that umcommon occasion - NOT used improperly. NEAR MINT (NM) means NEAR MINT both visually and audible! VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) is the same as EXCELLENT (EX) in other grading systems. My ambition is to provide an as accurate description as possible and I do not try hide any defects or other flaws on the record and cover. MY GRADING IS STRICT and winning bidder ALWAYS has full refund minus shipping costs! PLEASE E-MAIL IF ANY CONCERNS! THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIDDING!

___________________________________________________________________________

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS


MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.


NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.


VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original lustre may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.


VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl lustre, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.


GOOD ---- Well played with little lustre and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.


POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws
