Midnight Rambler - You Got The Silver - Monkey Man - You Can't Always Get What You Want

Finding a complete UK pressing of Let it Bleed that has a gleaming vinyl, that has Top clear Audio, a cover and poster not torn or highly worn is now almost impossible. To find a 1st  boxed pressing with a great cover and TOP perfect audio makes this an extreme rarity and great collectable.

Let It Bleed is the eighth British album by The Rolling Stones, released in December 1969 on Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States. Released shortly after the band's 1969 American Tour, it is the follow-up to 1968's Beggars Banquet and the last album by the band to feature Brian Jones as well as the first to feature Mick Taylor.

Released in December, Let It Bleed reached #1 in the UK (temporarily knocking The Beatles' Abbey Road out of the top slot) and #3 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart in the US, where it eventually went 2x platinum.

Although they had begun the recording of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in May 1968, before Beggars Banquet had been released, recording for Let It Bleed began in earnest in February 1969 and would continue sporadically until October. Brian Jones performs on only two tracks, playing the autoharp on "You Got the Silver", and percussion on "Midnight Rambler". His replacement, Mick Taylor, plays guitar on two tracks, "Country Honk" and "Live With Me". Keith Richards, who had already shared vocal duties with Mick Jagger on "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".

The cover displays a surreal sculpture designed by Robert Brownjohn. The image consists of the Let It Bleed record being played by the tone-arm of an antique phonograph, and a record-changer spindle supporting several items stacked on a plate in place of a stack of records: a tape canister labelled Stones - Let It Bleed, a clock face, a pizza, a tyre and a cake with elaborate icing topped by figurines representing the band. The cake parts of the construction were prepared by then-unknown cookery writer Delia Smith. The reverse of the LP sleeve shows the same "record-stack" assemblage in a state of disarray. The artwork was inspired by the working title of the album, Automatic Changer.

Let It Bleed is the second of the Stones' run of four studio LPs that are generally regarded as among their greatest achievements artistically, the other three albums being Beggars Banquet (1968), Sticky Fingers (1971) and Exile on Main Street (1972).

ALBUM PLAYED FOR AUDIO GRADING:

Outstanding bright punchy sound, every minute and track has been tested and I could find no obvious sound blemishes. Some light occasional static, and it is light and very occasional. Wonderful TOP audio, there is NO distortion, NO sticks or jumps what so ever, and minimal sound between the tracks. 

Brilliant clear sound, the music jumps out, with definition and clarity, particularly on the percussion instruments, and vocals which come through with tremendous power. As with the bass guitar and drums, whilst the guitars come through crisp and clear. There are 6 very light static tics in the middle of 'You Got the Silver', but I would not say that they are particularly intrusive or even that noticeable. 

This great record plays up to the visual grading and beyond. Strong, undistorted sound free of any loud pops or clicks or repetitive noises. Super strong sound with minimal distractions, the album plays right through with absolutely NO sticks, jumps or repeating unwanted noises what so ever. 

A great all round example of this classic vinyl. This is a great Audio pleasure and I would have to give the Audio at least an EXCELLENT PLUS grading.

A great all round example of this great vinyl, with amazing audio throughout!

THE RECORD - VISUAL GRADING -   

There are a few very faint handling marks, this vinyl has been played carefully and shows no groove wear. Unbelievable to think this vinyl is over 40 years old! Easily grades at EXCELLENT.

VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING:

Yes, NONE visible what so ever when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.

LABELS - NEAR MINT

Splendid deeply coloured attractive examples.  No wear around the hole areas, with all ink uneroded and fully intact, just a few ultra light spindle traces to be found. This still fits very tightly around the record spindle.

COVER -  EXCELLENT

Comes with original UK sleeve,  in EXCELLENT condition.

This is a great complete example of the brilliant LET IT BLEED cover. Laminated on the front only, and with the 1st press MONO / STEREO hole detector on the unlaminated rear. These covers rarely fared well, usually having heavy ring wear and tears, with a lot of yellowing to the background. Not this one! It has no tears or splits, again very hard to find. 

It has absolutely minimal rubbing to the corners, and none to the spine, which is square and true, with all the text complete in tact. Unbelievable and impossibly rare like this, the spine ends are clearly pinched, only found on the early manufactured covers!

The rear cover has virtually no discolouration and no fading near the spine (clearly shown in the images) It also has NO ring wear, stains, writing, tears or sticker marks, just some light creasing on the front cover and some faint handling marks.

A wonderful original first press example and extremely rare in this condition, easily grades at EXCELLENT.

THE INNER

An extreme rarity, this press comes with Original UK "Patent", MADE IN ENGLAND Blue and white paper Inner sleeve, in EXCELLENT CONDITION. Not poly lined and with the full lyrics on one side, these thin inners were usually ripped and discarded. Not this one! No tears, splits or stains. The vinyl will of course come in a replacement plain white inner to protect the original.

POSTER INSERT - EXCELLENT

The Record comes with the Original press insert poster in EXCELLENT condition. Unbelievably it comes with No rips, tears, pin holes or blue tac marks. Some light creasing and light wear along the centre folds only. 

This is the original poster for the 1st stereo press, on light weight  paper, with the picture of The Stones and the 'Poster designed by Victor Kahn', text, only found on 1st pressings posters.

CLASSIC UK R&B / ROCK album by THE ROLLING STONES

RARITY

It is getting harder and harder to find good examples of early UK pressings of Let It Bleed, and very hard if not almost impossible examples that are complete and intact with all the Original parts. 

The cover is almost impossible to find without serious wear, even modestly worn examples are scarce! 1st pressings in great condition are impossibly rare and this is a great all round complete example.  A great all round piece with TOP AUDIO throughout! A great original and ultra rare inner sleeve, and a great original poster. Superb!!

GREAT COVERS WITH NO SEAM SPLITS, NO TEARS, NO WRITING, NO STICKERS.

GREAT VINYLS WITH NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, NO JUMPS OR REPEATS - GUARANTEED!

SCRUPULOUS EXAMINATION and TESTING; PLEASE NOTE:

This record has been play tested to ensure the sound quality and accuracy of description. I aim to give a precise and concise description of the sound quality, pointing out any defects so that you know what you are bidding on. I will not go into screeds of information about nature of the songs, as I imagine that you already know them well. I aim to describe all items as accurately as possible, and offer a full refund on return if for any reason you are not completely happy with the item description.

VINYL SOUND - PLEASE NOTE:

Top quality vinyl with clear sound is rare, and is what I always aim for. Even with the cleanest copies you will find occasional static sound during playback, caused by a build of dust in the grooves. This is clearly different from the distortion, loud pops or clicks that are found on heavily played and worn pieces of vinyl. Any static build up will reduce when played, and I advise a light clean should be given between plays for optimal performance.

MY RECORD GRADING SYSTEM IS AS FOLLOWS - (BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE U.K. )

MINT: Virtually unplayed. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristine.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.

V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, etc.

FAIR: Fair. It is noticeable that the record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated very noticeably. The cover and contents are showing signs of folding, scuffing of edges etc.
