PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD HAS BEEN PRO CLEANED ON A PROJECT VACUUM RECORD CLEANING MACHINE .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED ON BOTH SIDES .
Please note that i do tend to use " Very Good Condition " for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and unplayed . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use Very Good most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as hardly played , excellent shine and just a handful of the very very lightest and small surface marks only ( in other words , looks like new ) . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , more between very good and excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly " Very Good " but with very detailed descriptions also , so please do bid with confidence , thank you .
Rolling Stones No.2 UK LP Decca Unboxed Grooved Flipback + Blind Man Txt Super Overall Sound . On UK Decca LK 4661 Mono . Side One Matrix is XARL - 6619 - 2A . Side Two Is XARL - 6620 - 1A .
COVER: Laminated front only , flipback cover easily in between very good and near excellent overall condition , being closer to the near excellent side . 
FRONT: Laminated front only still lovely and shiny . There are a few extremely light and small general surface marks and just a very light ringwear mark . There are a few surface laminate crease lines ( laminate only , not actual creases ) near the middle of the opening edge . There are just a few usual light laminate creases lines in places along the edges . There is just the very lightest of main edge wear and again just some light and very small fray/dent wear on the corners . The spine is very good / near excellent with the usual pinched centre . There is some normal useage wear on the opening edges , mainly in the form of some usual bits of fraying visible mainly on the inside of the edge , but still looked after . There are just a couple of light laminate cracks and the text is fully legible . The entire cover is writing free .
REAR: The rear is very good indeed with just a very very light hint of browning / fading , in places , this really is very light and feint indeed as you can see , actually it could even mostly just be very light feint handling wear marks rather than actual browning and is mainly very lightly visible on the opening edge and near the right hand edge. There are a few very light and small surface marks in places , one very small browning spot just above the DECCA logo towards the bottom left corner and a couple of very feint , small browning marks , mainly near the centre of the opening edge . Again there is just a light ringwear mark , if i had to be critical , then there are a couple of very light surface only crease lines near the top left corner and bottom right corner , both of these are following the ringwear mark . All flipbacks are intact and still nice and clean with just some usual surface laminate crease lines . The right hand side does have the wider fold over which neatly meets the end of the word MONO and the catalogue number . This one as you can see , must be one of the better , examples out there today , very well looked after , we all know how hard these covers are to find in any decent condition nowadays , this really is overall a very nice one . 
INNER SLEEVE: Poly lined inner sleeve generally in good overall condition . I am pretty sure this is the original so have decided to leave as it is and not change it . There is quite heavy browning to the rear , not so bad on the front , being still heavy but mainly round the edges . There are a few very light and small general surface marks in places , some light crease marks and the usual ringwear marks . There is some normal useage wear on the opening edges . Obviously these are easily replaceable , but because i think this is the original , i have as i say decided to leave the decision of replacing it up to the new owner . 
RECORD: The overall grade is very good condition . There are some surface marks on both sides , but i must say it is not totally plastered in them as is often seen with these and there are no big deep gouges etc . It plays perfectly crisp and clear throughout with just some very occasional very light indeed background noise and some occasional very light ticks in places on some of the quieter parts only , any noises are in just very quick short sharp bursts and in odd places only and are not constant . There are some usual noises heard on the silent run ins/offs and track changeovers , though amazingly i must say that even most of these are very very quiet indeed . This record really does play and sound fantastic overall and the audio tones are still truely awesome . Noise wise , there really isn't a lot to report at all ! . Side one had just a few very very light ticks and a bit of very very light background crackle on track two , a few very light ticks at the start of track three and three or four light ticks at the end and on the run off on track five . Side two had a few very light ticks on the run off of track three and the very start of track four and a couple of ticks on the run off on track five and very start only of track six . I must stress that none of this spoiled any enjoyment and none were overly excessive noise wise . Overall , i really can't stress how good this record plays and sounds ! , it really does sound superb overall , it really must be one of the better sounding if not one of the best overall sounding examples out there today ! . There are no jumps etc and it still retains a nice overall shine . Both labels are writing free , nice and clean , with just some usual spindle marks , the actual hole edges don't show overly excessive wear . All in all a nice overall example of this now collectable item together with superb overall sound , do turn this one up and enjoy ! . As i say this one really does overall play and sound great ! . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref post and packing and item gradings explained thank you . 
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
