This week I'm going through some Rolling Stones records I have. Next week will be all Beatles again.
This auction is for a rare, original 1st pressing of the Rolling Stones album 'Let It Bleed' on the Decca logo. This is the original pressing with the unboxed Decca logo on the front cover!
In 1969 Decca underwent a logo redesign for their labels, changing the Decca logo from the large, unboxed style to the smaller boxed one. The early presses of Let It Bleed came out with the unboxed logo but, soon after the album's release, the boxed Decca labels were introduced.
Pretty hard to find. Comes with stickered sleeve and custom stereo uncensored inner, but sadly no poster.

The cover is showing it's age but, overall, is holding up okay. The front has a nice colour with a little dirt buildup on the laminate and some light disc impression. there's some light creasing around the edges that have caused the laminate around them to brown a little. There's some light rounding of the corners and a very small, light water stain bottom left corner. Top and bottom seams are looking a little fuzzy, but there's almost no wear and both have no splits or tears. The spine has some little laminate creases in it and some wear in the middle, but hasn't split. The back cover is looking a little rough with some wear on the middle and some light staining top left and browning along the top. So yeah, holding okay but showing its age. Inner Sleeve: GOOD

The original custom blue inner sleeve is included. This is the original, early uncensored one without the London Bach Choir credit blacked out. The sleeve has some light marks and a lot of creasing and disc impression, as you can see. There's a little wear at the mouth but the seams are holding tight with just a small, 1" ish split in the middle of the bottom seam. Disc (Visually Graded Only!!) : GOOD+

The playing surface has a nice shine to it but is covered in light scuffs along with some slightly heavier looking scuffs, marks and a few light surface scratches. There's a heavier scuff on side 1, 8 o'clock position that runs through tracks 2 to half way into track 5. It's light though and unfeelable under the fingernail, just noticeable.

The labels are clean with lovely, bright silver text. There's a fair amount of light spindlewear and no whitening around the centrehole. Nice labels!
