The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed (Decca SKL 5025 UK Stereo LP 1969 + Inner)

	£		24
	$		32

This is an early UK Stereo LP pressing, circa 1970. It has a front laminated sleeve which has a small circular "Mono/ Stereo" cut-out on the rear sleeve. The sleeve has a factory "pinched" top & bottom spine. It comes with its original "blue border" custom Decca inner sleeve. One side has generic Decca inner sleeve information. The other side has custom "Let It Bleed" tracklisting & information details printed on it. The inner sleeve is printed on paper. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has smaller sized "boxed" Decca labels. The record has XZAL-9363 P-1W and XZAL-9364 P-5W matrix numbers.

A very early, circa 1970, UK Stereo pressing complete with its original inner sleeve. This is the next best thing to UK "unboxed" Decca pressings. I have some other rare & collectable 1960's & 1970's UK Rock, Folk, Blues etc... LP's for sale. So please see my other items.

Sleeve: There is more moderate to moderate rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is a tiny 0.5 cm tear at the rear sleeve opening. This doesn't affect the front sleeve. There is mild, very mild or more moderate rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. There is some light or very mild laminate lifting at the front spine on some areas. There are about 5 small & light hairline creases at the spine area. Otherwise, the spine is fine. There are a few feint hairline scratch marks, in one area, on the rear sleeve. This is probably from being stored next to "Sticky Fingers". These are not too noticeable. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear on some areas. Overall, Very Good condition

Vinyl: There are two pin-head sized surface sub marks on Side 2. There is a small area of more moderate sleeve rubs, or surface rub marks, on Side 1. These can only be seen under a strong light.  There is a tiny pin-head sized surface rub mark on Side 1 too. There is a 1 cm hairline surface mark on Side 2. Otherwise, there are some light, mild, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild  or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These, again, can only be seen under a strong light. Overall, Very Good condition. The labels are in Near Excellent condition & show mild to more moderate spindle wear only.

The custom tracklisting/ information inner sleeve is in Good+ condition. There is some mild, more moderate or moderate ringwear & creasing. There are no seam splits.

I have fully play tested this LP. It plays Very Good to Very Good+ overall. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. There are a very few mild clicks at the end of "Gimme Shelter". Overall, a very serviceable audio copy.

I shall place the vinyl into a separate plain paper inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeve from any damage during transit.
