The ROLLING STONES - STICKY FINGERS
Great condition 1971 UK original press Stones classic with superb STEREO sound quality throughout
Year/Label : 1971 UK ROLLING STONES Label number : COC 59100 Matrix numbers : COC-59100-A4, COC 59100 B4 Stampers : A 04 / A 55Excellent plus (EX+) condition vinyl (many would grade as "near mint" I am sure) - completely flat and retaining a lovely jet black lacquered sheen, coming across as barely marked in normal daylight and even with very close inspection under a bright light it is difficult to spot any blemish whatsoever...perhaps one or two small and extremely fine purely superficial paper scuffs but that's it - remarkable! The labels are also in excellent plus (EX+) condition with just a couple of barely discernible spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each label. Clearly, this is a record that has been only very sparingly played. Again, an excellent plus (EX+) condition outer sleeve with fully working zip, firm unscuffed edges, near perfectly defined right angle corners with barely any rubbing, and a firm spine with all spine text perfectly intact. There is the very occasional tiny edge "nick", and I have just noticed a small area of very light scuffing and extremely fine biro mark at the top left corner on the front side where it seems a price label once resided. The larger flap immediately above the zip remains perfect and there is a small and insignificant crease on the small very top flap (immediately above the larger flap) but I am being really picky here! The only blemish of note is x3 very small indentations and a small area of surface "crinkles" on the reverse side (see photo) but even this is trivial and only noticeable when the sleeve is tilted to the right angle in the right light. Do take a close look at my photos where I think you will agree that the condition of this sleeve fully merits "excellent plus"! The original and all important insert with credits on one side and a band photo on the other is present and remains in virtually unused condition - just a tiny and barely noticeable smudge mark at the bottom right corner - otherwise perfect! Terrific, near mint (NM) stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, distortion, clicks or background crackle. Wonderful tone and clarity throughout and as you would expect every track a great listen - arguably the Stones at the height of their creative talents! Comes with original plain white inner sleeve - excellent plus (EX+) condition with correct "PATENT Nos..." and "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" horizontal text - no splits, no edge fraying, no unwanted writing, barely any age discolouration, and just a mild crease in one corner. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original. A truly brilliant condition copy of this 1971 UK original Stones classic - no need to ever upgrade again!

Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 55 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
