ROLLING STONES - LIVE'R THAN YOU'LL EVER BE

IN SUPERB CONDITION

• CATALOGUE:LURCH RECORDS 
• MATRIX:X 14327 / X 14328
• BLACK LABEL TEST PRESS

INCREDIBLY RARE OFFERING!

THE ROLLING STONES RELEASED 'GET YOUR YA-YA'S OUT' IN SEPTEMBER 1970 AS A RESPONSE TO THE BOOTLEG OF THE SAME CONCERT THAT WAS BOOTLEGGED A YEAR BEFORE. THIS IS WIDELY ACCEPTED AS THE FIRST LIVE BOOTLEG AND IT WAS ENTITLED 'LIVE'R THAN YOU'LL EVER BE'

THE VERY FIRST EXAMPLE WAS RELEASED ON THE LURCH RECORD LABEL. THE LURCH LABEL WAS A PASTEL BLUE LABEL WITH BLACK TYPEFACE, RECORDED ONTO BLACK VINYL AND HOUSED INSIDE A PLAIN WHITE GATEFOLD SLEEVE THAT HAD EITHER A RED OR BLUE STAMP ON THE FRONT SURFACE WITH THE RECORD'S TITLE (SOME MIGHT SAY THAT THIS WHERE THE WHO GOT THE IDEA FOR LIVE AT LEEDS FROM)

THERE IS AVERY GOOD REFERENCE SITE WHERE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL LABEL AND SLEEVE (http://www.rollingstonesnet.com/Liver_LP.html)

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A BLACK LABEL TEST PRESS OF THAT FIRST BOOTLEG, HOUSED IN THE SAME WHITE SLEEVE BUT WITH ONLY THE NAME IN FELT PEN ON THE SLEEVE.

THE TEST PRESS HAS THE EXACT SAME MATRIX NUMBERS AS THE ORIGINAL LURCH ISSUE

THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN REPRESSED ON MAY DIFFERENT LABELS OVER THE YEARS BUT THIS IS THE GENUINE FIRST ISSUE AND A VERY VERY RARE TEST PRESSING

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, ONE SIDE HAS A COUPLE OF STRIPS OF TAPE RESIDUE

THE VINYL

THIS IS A HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THERE ARE A FEW VERY FINE HANDLING LINES ON THE SURFACE, AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION SOME WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES, BUT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT WHAT PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS

WHAT THERE IS, CAN BE DESCRIBED AS VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND MORE OF A STAIC LIKE SOUND AND HEARD ONLY DURING THE QUIETEST MOMENTS, THERE IS SLIGHTLY MORE DURING THE FIRST MINUTE OR SO OF SIDE 2.

HAVING SAID THIS THE ALBUM STILL PLAYS SUPERBLY AND THERE ARE NO JUMPS OR SKIPS ANYWHERE

BU DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS PIECE OF HISTORY AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS

THE SLEEVE

NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THE SLEEVE OTHER THAN IT IS THE ORIGINAL PLAIN SEMI GLOSSY GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WHERE THE VINYL SLIDES INTO THE POCKET FROM THE INSIDE NEAR THE SPINE

IT IS A LITTLE SHELFWORN, BUT TO BE HONEST IT IS THE VINYL IN THIS CASE THAT IS IMPORTANT

THE SLEEVE I WOULD GRADE AS VERY GOOD PLUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
