• This is the real deal! (Notice that it does not say limited edition collector's item on the front, which is a sure sign of a non- original) Has been in my possession since 1969. This is a perfect entry level item for Stones fans.  Spots on the cover and a stain on back. Spine has split open. No original sleeve inside. RSD 1 - London Label . 

             Is it perfect? No.  Does it play? Yes.  

 Here is an excerpt from an answer to someone else's question in Goldmine Magazine 

 Well, you definitely have one of the great Stones rarities there! The Promotional Album was compiled by London Records in 1969, and sent out to the most influential rock radio programmers in the run-up to the release of Let It Bleed? the idea was that, combined with the two existing hits collections (High Tide & Green Grass and Through The Past Darkly), programmers would have every great Stones song they could need. It's also worth remembering that the version of Love In Vain included here is often described as an alternate take maybe you could let us know your thoughts on that?

The full track listing is  Side One: Route 66, 1964, Walking The Dog, 1964; Around And Around, 1964; Suzie Q, 1965; Everybody Needs Somebody,1965; Off The Hook, 1965; I'm Free, 1965; She Said Yeah, 1965. Side Two: Under My Thumb, 1966; Stupid Girl, 1966; 2000 Man, 1967; Sympathy For The Devil, 1968; Prodigal Son, 1968; ?Love In Vain, 1969.

The DJ version of this album  not to be confused with the imports of the rare promo  that was put out in 1969, is worth an estimated $3,000 in Near Mint condition, according to Goldmine's Standard Catalog of American Records 1950 to 1965. The VG+ value is $2,000, while VG value is $1,000.

This is one of several Stones albums many of which were excerpted for the promo worth thousands. 

The only downside here is the condition of your sleeve. Although there were indeed just 400 copies of the record pressed, the top dollar is inevitably directed toward the best preserved examples  and most auction houses would probably reflect that in their interest in the record. eBay might be a more appropriate venue, although you would need to be very specific with your description, include clear photographs of both the damaged and undamaged elements, and also tell potential bidders of how you came to acquire the record provenance is a major issue here, as the album has been heavily counterfeited over the years, and is also occasionally mixed up with a U.K. export collection housed in a similar sleeve.
