ROLLING STONES
‘ EXILE ON MAIN STREET ’
***
HERE IS FIRST PRESSING OF THE STONES CLASSIC DOUBLE SET FROM 1972.
COC 69100 A1 / B1 / C2 / D2
AN EARLY ISSUE WITH SIDE OPENING CARD INNERS, ROLLING STONES RECORDS ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX ON EACH OF THE FOUR SIDES. THE SHOREPAK GATEFOLD COMES WITH BOTH OF IT’S CARD SLEEVES AND PATENT No.1,125,555, PAPER INNERS.
SORRY, NO POSTCARDS!
THE DISCS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, RETAINING MUCH OF THEIR ORIGINAL SHINE. BOTH SHOW SOME SIGNS OF CAREFUL USE WITH MINIMAL TO MODERATE SPINDLE TRAILS. NICE CLEAN LABELS, SLIGHT PRESSING ANOMALY ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE - NOT A STAIN ! THE FOUR SIDES SHOW SOME WHISPY HAIRLINES WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW VERY LIGHT MARKS , MORE EVIDENT ON THE SECOND DISC. THEY ARE ENTIRELY SUPERFICIAL AND HAVE LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO FEELABLE BLEMISHES ON EITHER DISC. I HAVE LISTENED TO ALL FOUR SIDES AND I HEARD NO CLICKS OR ANYTHING TO SPOIL THE LISTENING. ALL TRACKS PLAY BEAUTIFULLY WITH NO ISSUES APART FROM JUST A LITTLE MINOR CRACKLE ON THE INTROS AND THE OCCASIONAL SOFT POP.
VISUAL GRADE FOR DISCS : VERY GOOD+
AUDIO GRADE FOR DISCS : EXCELLENT
THE COVER TO THIS ALBUM WAS VERY PRONE TO WEAR AS IT WAS NOT LAMINATED. THE FRONT PANEL WAS RELATIVELY FLIMSY AND EASILY BENT. THE INSIDE POCKET FOR THE DISCS WAS USUALLY DAMAGED BY THE DISCS BEING TAKEN IN AND OUT.
THIS COVER IS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE PICTURES CLEARLY SHOW. IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR SINCE IT’S ORIGINAL PURCHASE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY WRINKLES ON THE INSIDE PART. THE ONLY OTHER THING WORTHY OF MENTION IS A TINY BIT OF WEAR TO THE LEFT SPINE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. THE OTHER SPINE (THE ONE WITH THE TEXT) IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT. NO DAMAGE TO THE POCKET, NO EDGE WEAR, A TINY BIT OF SOFTENING TO THE EXTREME TIPS OF TWO CORNERS.
GRADING FOR COVER IS EXCELLENT+
OVERALL A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPERB COVER.
BOTH CARD INNERS ARE WITHOUT CREASES OR SPLITS, OPENING EDGES SHARP AND SOLID
CARD INNERS GRADED AS EXCELLENT+
THE DIE CUT PAPER INNERS HAVE NO DAMAGE , JUST MINOR CREASES.
PAPER INNERS GRADED AS EXCELLENT
I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT. I DO NOT GIVE PARTIAL REFUNDS.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY SECOND CLASS SIGNED DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO EASTERN EUROPE, PLEASE SEE POSTAGE EXCLUSIONS.
THE ITEM WILL BE POSTED IN THICK CARDBOARD BOX MAILER. THE DISCS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE OUTER COVER AND PLACED IN REPLACEMENT INNER SLEEVES. A POLYTHENE PROTECTIVE COVER IS PROVIDED. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
