TITLE

 

The Rolling Stones Let It Bleed mono red inner unboxed 1st press 1A/2A VG/G+

 

Description

 

Lovely honest 1969 copy with a strong cover and uncensored red mono inner sleeve.  Unfortunately no poster.

 

A period artefact and one that’s difficult to part with.

 

First glance it looks a strong VG/VG and the glossy vinyl looks great.

 

However there are noticeable crackles throughout playback on both sides on my admittedly modest deck. Obviously this is less noticeable once the track is up and running and I really enjoyed a listen through both sides with some good old-fashioned vinyl accompaniment! On the upside there are no skips or groove damage.

 

For the reasons stated above (and below) there are no returns.

 

It’s not for the purest unless they could improve it with a professional clean and a mono set-up. Me?  I’d play it and experience this amazing music as it would have been enjoyed at the time.

 

Cover / Spine /Inners

 

VG condition for its age (55 years!).

 

It’s a bit grubby with ring-wear, and some creases and stains, but this record has obviously been generally well looked after and will be a decent addition to any collection.

 

There are no splits, tears, biro, residues, etc.

 

The spine is legible and in good shape.

 

The original red mono inner sleeve is the uncensored London Bach Choir version.  It is creased and has one or two marks, but remarkably has no splits or tears.

 

Vinyl

 

The period vinyl has been cleaned and looks great.

 

Closer inspection shows up plenty of hairlines, but there’s nothing too sinister and would stand up favourably against most records from the period.

 

Label / Spindle marks

 

The red unboxed Decca labels look good.  There are spindle marks which provide evidence of moderate use (see photos).

Other Beatles, Led Zep, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Madonna, etc, records in good condition to follow - watch for my other items.

 

 

Postage at cost

 

The price for postage is essentially at cost - ie: it includes tracked delivery, a new cardboard mailer, & a new acid-free paper sleeve(s).

 

The record will be carefully packaged and sent to the UK MAINLAND ONLY.  I’ll happily pass on all postage savings net of fees for multiple purchases.

General Statement (exceptions will be clearly noted).

 

This record is from the collection of a great music fan.  Many items were bought new and have been played and enjoyed over 40 or 50 years or so, though carefully selected second-hand items with less provenance have been added over the years.

 

The collector is fastidious and the sleeves have been kept in pvc covers.  The vinyl has been cleaned each time it was played and the quality styluses regularly changed.

 

He principally curated a collection of 60s / 70s / 80s LPs and 45s across the genres of rock, psychedelia and folk, but his love of music has taken them into other areas - please see my other items for sale.

 

I have spent time researching the items that I am selling and have done my very best to identify the correct version, but please do message me if you feel there is an error in the listing.

 

Items are photographed carefully before listing to uniquely identify the vinyl with the sleeve.

 

The record has been test-played and in our opinion it is more than acceptable for enjoyable listening. There may be the odd pop or scratch in quieter tracks or between tracks.

 

I have not allowed returns as the item is described and photographed in detail.  These are second-hand items and will come with some age-related faults, as do all items other than NM/NM.  If there are any problems whatsoever please message me to find a mutually-beneficial solution to maintain100% positive feedback on both sides.
