ROLLING STONES
1971
"STICKY FINGERS" LP
MEGA RARE
1st UK pressing on the
"Rolling Stones" Label
COC 59100
COC 59100 A3 & COC 5900 B4
1st Pressing Matrices
with 'ROLLING STONES RECORDS'
hand etched in the run-out grooves on both sides
Rare zip feature.....
This is the first pressing with the large 'rounded' zip puller cover. Only the earliest 1st pressing covers had this feature - later pressings had square-edges zip pullers.
Cover: 1st pressing cover with COC 50100 on the spine and the large rounded zip puller. The non-gatefold cover is unlaminated and the zipper works perfectly. Has the Andy Warhole pants as part of the inner sleeve. The front is In Near Excellent condition. No writings, doodles, seam splits or missing pieces - most covers have the top 'buckle' missing but this one is still in place. There are a couple of creases and some tape residue where a small tear was repaired in the past - see scan. Some wear along edges and spine. The rear rates as Excellent - small dark scuff and minor wear only. These covers are unbelieably fragile but this is in pretty good shape for a 40 year old cover. Comes in a paper (non-polylined) patent no. 1.125.555 inner sleeve which is in VG condition.
Lyric insert: Excellent. No writings, doodles or rips.
Vinyl: Play tested - looks VG(-) with lots feathering and some hairlines but plays Near Excellent. Plays much better than it looks. Great sound with no skips/jumps and just some light crackle in the quieter parts.
Labels: Excellent+. Has the 1st pressing 'PROMOTONE' credit on the label.
Postage £4 (UK - special delivery) £8.50 (EUROPE - signed for) & £10.50 (REST OF THE WORLD - signed for)
