Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street Double LP COC69100

I have decided my record collection needs a radical weed as it is taking over the room! 

This LP (unless basically new - which will be specified) has been cleaned properly with a microfibre cloth and record cleaning fluid and played in full on decent equipment to assess condition. None of the LPs I will sell on Ebay skip or stick - not worth the hassle. They all play completely as they should. I have used a recognised grading system (see below), and I try to be accurate and slightly pessimistic so that buyers are not disappointed. I am not a record dealer, just trying to recoup some of my outlay over the years, so this is my best and honest assessment. If you view my previous feedback you will see that I usually succeed in accurate description of condition
I have also done my best to research the pressing using Discogs but if you are collector you can do your own research using the details below. If I have something wrong I would appreciate knowing so I can put the listing right. I've listed runout matrix numbers to the best of my ability but they are not always easy to read.
Will be posted in a proper LP card envelope. I will also throw in a (used) plastic sleeve. PLEASE NOTE: I often experience very poor delivery times from Royal Mail, with some items taking 10-14 days to arrive second class, so please be patient.....
I will always combine postage if you buy more than one item - no need to ask. Two LPs will cost the same as one, multiple buys I will assess and give the best savings possible. Note, no International buyers, sorry

Record condition and details:

Discogs has no year or further info on this other than the below. Vinyl feels fairly heavy so may be a more recent reissue

P)1972 Musidor, N.V. 

Gatefold sleeve with two printed inner sleeves. 
by Shorewood Packaging Company. Ltd. England 

No country of origin, Rights Society, label code mentioned. 

Matrix A2/B2/C2/D2. 

• Matrix / Runout (Runout side A): ST-RS-722507 COC 69100 A1
• Matrix / Runout (Runout side B): ST-RS-722508 COC 69100 B2
• Matrix / Runout (Runout side C): ST-RS-722509 COC 69100 C1

Record: Slight click S1 T2 (minimal). Two very slight clicks S2 T3. Small imperfection on rim of second disc around 1.5cm long which does not sound or affect music / playing except for about two beats of S4 T1. Looks like a manufacturing mark. There is some crackle on and off throughout. Overall plays perfectly and sound is fine. Most would give VG+ but I’m going for VG but is closer to VG+

Sleeve & Inners: VG+ all intact, no tears or marks. Sleeve has seen some life but is fine. Inners are very good condition

Mint (M)

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.   

Near Mint (NM or M-

A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

Very Good (VG) 

Generally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price.  

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) 

Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.  

Poor (P), Fair (F)

Generally worth 0-5% of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
