IN 1970 THE ROLLING STONES MOVED FROM DECCA TO THEIR OWN LABEL. STICKY FINGERS BEING THE RESULT OF THEIR DEBUT ON THE NEW LABEL.

 THIS ALBUM ONLY REALLY FEATURES MICK JAGGER, AS IT CONSISTS OF TRACKS THAT OTHER BANDS / ARTISTS MADE FAMOUS, BUT WERE WRITTEN BY JAGGER/RICHARDS. SESSION MUSICIANS INCLUDING JIMMY PAGE / JOHN MCGLAUGHLIN / JOHN PAUL JONES  /GRAHAM NASH ETC FEATURE ON THIS WONDERFUL STONES VOLUME.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY STONES COLLECTION AND TO FIND ONE IN THIS INCREDIBLE CONDITION IS REALLY VERY RARE INDEED

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINSUCULE  SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE. IT IS JUST VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED!!

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS SOUND IN EVERY WAY.

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS POWERFUL AND CLEAR AS A BELL

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS

CERTAINLY NO VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT EVEN RANDOM SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT!

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 1 MINUSCULE STATIC TIC/ POP  THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.

THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT IS A MUSEUM GRADE VINYL AND SLEEVE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT 

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED  SINGLE SLEEVE

A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN GREAT COLLECTIBLE CONDITION BECAUSE OF THE  WHITE/CREAM SURFACE THAT SHOWS EVERY LAST BLEMISH OR FINGERMARK.

HERE IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND HAS REMAINED IN MINT MINUS CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.NO BLEMISHES TO THE DELICATE SURFACE APART FROM THE LIGHTEST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ON THE RIGHT AND BOTTOM EDGES

NO CREASES AND NO CREASE LINES, AND INCREDIBLY JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE

NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND DEFINITELY NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH ALL OF THE WHITE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED.

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT AND PRISTINE, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS OF THE  ENDS ARE UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE INCREDIBLE STATE THAT IT IS, BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE FRONT. ONCE AGAIN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SPOIL THIS SURFACE. NO CREASES , LINES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE SLEEVE IS JUST SUPERB!!

THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UN-SPLIT CONDITION WITH NO CREASES OR MARKS. THIS AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED. IT HAS THE FIRST PRESS INDICATOR IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER WHICH IS THE DATE PRINTED 5-75 (MAY 1975) WHICH INDICATES ONE MONTH BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE OF JUNE 6TH

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS

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