 Let It Bleed is an album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1969. The follow up to 1968's Beggars Banquet, it appeared shortly after the band's 1969 American Tour, their first in the U.S. in three years!!!!!

Although they had begun the recording of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in November 1968, before Beggars Banquet had been released, recording for Let It Bleed began in earnest in February 1969 and would continue sporadically until November. Brian Jones performs on only two tracks, the autoharp on "You Got the Silver" and percussion on "Midnight Rambler". His replacement Mick Taylor also plays on two tracks, "Country Honk" and "Live With Me." Keith Richards, who had already shared vocal duties with Mick Jagger on a handful of songs ("Connection", "Something Happened to Me Yesterday" and "Salt of the Earth"), sang his first solo lead vocal on a Rolling Stones recording with "You Got the Silver."!!!!!!!

During 1968, Richards had been hanging out in London with Gram Parsons, who had left The Byrds on the eve of their departure for a tour in the Republic of South Africa. By all accounts, Parsons had significant impact on Richards' taste in country music, and perhaps as a result of his influence, the band recorded a true honky-tonk song, "Country Honk," a more uptempo and rock and roll version of which would appear as their next single, "Honky Tonk Women." The LP track featured fiddle player Byron Berline, who worked with Parsons frequently throughout the latter's career. Parsons frequently took credit for the arrangement of "Country Honk", although both Jagger and Richards have stated that it was actually the original arrangement of the song as written and conceived while vacationing in Brazil in late 1968. In any event, Parsons had recently introduced the group to his cache of traditional country records and was at least indirectly responsible for this sea change. The singer's own cover, released on the 1976 rarities compilation Sleepless Nights, features a slightly different set of lyrics and yet another arrangement that combines elements of both Stones versions!!!!.

The vinyl

On initial visual inspection i can't see a blemish!!! This lays perfectly flat on the turntable!!!! This is the original THICKER and deeper grooved type of vinyl only found on original early pressings later pressings were much more flimsier and less robust. In very strong light any marks that could be seen would have been caused by the vinyl being slid in and out of its record sleeve. I CAN NOT SEE ANY AT ALL! THIS IS LIKE NEW!!!!  I can ( not) see any needle scratches or marks that would OR INDEED effect the play at all!!!! NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE FROM THIS VINYL!!!!

I have played this vinyl as usual and the audio is awesome, cristal clear and vibrant all of the way through, Please note i heard of coarse (no) clicks or pops during the play of this vinyl and also (no) background noise which is so common on these early pressings!!! This is so rare to find like this and in this condition. The audio on this very rare vinyl will be hard to surpass and I rate this audio at the VERY VERY top on all frequencies!!!!

THIS  HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED FOUR OR FIVE   TIMES EVER!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! That I have given my honest opinion when describing the audio quality of this vinyl. and have played irt through track for track. Although i never heard any problems what so ever, Please allow for the odd static tick here and there (not) consistant through out the audio!!! Remember this is an original (not) a reissue that is 41 years old and would have been played on a system that is 41 years old!! Please look at my completed listings of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right!!!!!
