THE ROLLING STONES HYDE PARK JULY 1969 WC 3689 Bootleg Vinyl LP 1973

This is an auction of collectible vinyl long-playing records. This particular auction includes a single copy of the “Wisconsin Cheese” release of HYDE PARK JULY 1969, a live recording of THE ROLLING STONES made at the legendary concert in Hyde Park in London on July 5th, 1969. The red and green cover sheet has been attached to a generic white sleeve; the inner label on the vinyl includes a small picture of a dinosaur and a generic reservation of rights. This legendary concert has been featured on several other legitimate and illegitimate recordings, but this a very early “edition.”

Track list:

          A1     Eulogy for Brian Jones

          A2     Lemon Squeezers

          A3     Jumping Jack Flash

          A4     Have Mercy

          A5     Stray Cat Blues

          A6     No Expectations

          A7     I’m Free

B1     Down Home Girl

B2     Love in Vain

B3     Give Me a Drink (Loving Cup)

B4     Honky Tonk Woman

The vinyl is in Excellent condition and has been unplayed and protected inside a polyvinyl bag for more than 20 years. The cardboard sleeve is in Very Good condition as well.  

I am selling this record on behalf of my friend John D. Berry, who writes: “I bought this collection in the late 1900s from John Ellison, a friend who was working (as I was) as a technical editor at Microsoft. John and his partner Lesley Link were starting a small publishing house, Broken Moon Press, and wanted to raise money to fund this endeavor. John had been a Rolling Stones fan and a devoted record collector, but he decided to sell his collection as part of the publishing effort. I was not especially a Stones fan, but I was willing to buy the collection to help the cause, figuring that I could always re-sell it later, probably for more than I paid.

“John was a very serious collector. Most of these vinyl disks have never been played, and many of them are extremely rare. They all date from no later than the mid-1980s; many of them are from the 1970s or 1960s. Quite a few are bootlegs, unauthorized but tolerated iterations of particular recording sessions or performances. For many years, these bootlegs could not be sold, even when they were approved by the artists; these days, however, that worry seems to be a dead letter, and lots of bootlegs show up on eBay and other selling sites.”

Payment through Paypal preferred. Buyer pays actual postage from Seattle, WA. I’ve done my best to anticipate the weight of safe packing materials for these extremely rare vinyl recordings, but if you are overcharged at any point, I will refund your overpayment. I welcome bids from buyers outside the U.S., and I am especially happy to combine several items to save on international or domestic postage.
