THE ROLLING STONES Exile On Main Street LP UK 1st Press

	£		99
	$		131

I am selling off THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS i've got!!! I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered", weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your supporting my taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as the buyer’s satisfaction is highly important to me, which is why I’ll always accept returns in case of misjudgement. However I do ask that you pay the cost of postage of your return; just to prevent time wasters – sorry.

This album is absolutely outstanding, a solid gold classic - no more needs to be said!!!

About : Ultra Rare Original 1972 UK 1st Press!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!

The LP :

Labels :

Classic UK 1st Press yellow RS labels!!! All sides are OUTSTANDING with NO real signs of age, NO graffiti, and NO writing OR tears whatsoever!!! Just has a tiny amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this has barely had much play at all!!! FANTASTIC for a 38 year old record!!! All must grade overall at least as Excellent!!!

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1972 UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright and clean and shiny. The only blemishes off perfection are just two or three BARELY VISIBLE totally non-sounding cosmetic scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines (only visible in strong angled light) and only one or two ULTRA light non sounding hairlines from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes affect play much AT ALL!!! PHENOMENAL for a record of this age and rarity!!! You'll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn they are!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good++ (Record 1), and Excellent (Record 2)!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Buyer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays BRILLIANTLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity!!! It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion OR sticks!!! Only, like pretty much ALL records, has the very RAREST quiet tick, and just the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in the rarest few and far between places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks etc, but that's truly about it!!! The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does mostly play with a CD-like near black silence, but with that depth, bass, warmth and clarity you can only get from UK 1st Press vinyl!!! EVEN many of the quiet sections!!! Absolutely ESSENTIAL!!! ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audibly as the least as Very Good++ (LP 1), and Excellent (LP 2)!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!

Sleeve :

Original UK 1st press gatefold unlaminated "Shorewood" sleeve complete with original inners (which are in ASTONISHING condition with no rubbing, no dulling, in fact next to no ageing at all!!!) and ALL 12 original IMPOSSIBLY RARE limited edition postcards which only came with a TINY amount of the very first run, also in IMMACULATE snow-white condition and 100% intact in their original unsplit strip, and look as though they've quite possibly NEVER even left the sleeve before!!! UNHEARD OF!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO graffiti, NO writing, NO ringwear, NO tears, virtually ZERO ink rubbing (IMPOSSIBLE for this sleeve!!!), NO bad marks AT ALL, NO splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has a miniscule amount of ageing such as just some mild creasing on the inside from manufacture, the slightest whitening to the lower seam from where it has sat on the shelf over the years, a touch of denting to the four corners which virtually ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! I tend to bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this remains an INCREDIBLE sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as magnificent as this - most have been virtually destroyed, or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! An utterly OUTSTANDING sleeve!!! The artwork remains ultra vibrant after all these years, and it remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong and solid with minimal wear, and totally unsplit!!! Must grade overall at least as Excellent minus!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : A truly OUTSTANDING and 100% COMPLETE WITH ALL 12 POSTCARDS example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic Stereo 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS MAGNIFICENT AS THIS!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!
