THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS LP
DECCA (LK 4554) RED LABEL
1963 1st PRESS
THIS WAS THE FIRST EVER APPEARANCE OF THE ROLLING STONES ON A LONG PLAYER
SLEEVE CONDITION: EX-
EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: NO SPLITS. LAMINATE INTACT. JUST A SMALL ROUGH PATCH ON THE TOP EDGE AND ONE TINY NICK ON THE BOTTOM OTHERWISE SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH. OVERALL, VERY TIDY.
SPINE: COMPLETELY INTACT. LAMINATE INTACT. SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH WITH JUST ONE TINY NICK IN THE LAMINATE. MANUFACTURED WITH PINCHED ENDS. PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FRONT: JUST THE ODD LITTLE EDGE CREASE, ONE LIGHT CREASE TOP LEFT CORNER AND ANOTHER NEAR THE BOTTOM RIGHT. JUST A LIGHT HINT OF RINGWEAR ONLY REALLY VISIBLE WHEN TILTING THE SLEEVE BACK AND FORTH IN THE LIGHT. NO SPLITS, RIPS, TEARS OR WRITING. THE OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH NO OBVIOUS FEATHERING. LAMINATE IS 100% INTACT WITH JUST A TINY PATCH STARTING TO LIFT ON THE LOWER PART OF THE SPINE EDGE. A VERY TIDY EXAMPLE FOR A 60 YEAR OLD SLEEVE.
REAR: NO CREASES, SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING. JUST ONE TINY MARK NEAR TOP RIGHT CORNER (SEE PHOTO) AND NO OBVIOUS RINGWEAR. A LITTLE LIGHT DISCOLOURATION HERE AND THERE, MAINLY ON THE FLIPBACKS AND MORE OBVIOUS AS THE SLEEVE IS PREDOMINANTLY WHITE. BOTH FLIPBACKS ARE INTACT. OPENING EDGE IS NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. OVERALL, A VERY TIDY EXAMPLE.
INNER SLEEVE: COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE LIGHT CREASING. NO SPLITS OR TEARS.
RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS CLOSE TO MINT. ABSOLUTELY NO MARKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION ON THE VINYL WHATSOEVER. EVEN IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE SEEN EXCEPT THE ODD TINY SLEEVE REMOVAL LINE. LOOKS LIKE IT HAS JUST COME FROM THE SHOP. IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY HAD VERY LIGHT USE. A SUPERB TOP COPY. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT AND SUPER CLEAN WITH JUST THREE OR FOUR LIGHT SPINDLE TRACES ON SIDE ONE AND ONE ON SIDE TWO. ORIGINAL 1st PRESS RED LABELS. HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS.
PLAYBACK IS SUPERB AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. NO BACKGROUND NOISE, NO NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, MAYBE JUST THE VERY OCCASIONAL TINY STATIC TYPE TICK. PLAYS LIKE IT WAS BOUGHT YESTERDAY.
OLD 1960s LPs HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS LP ANYWHERE.
A FANTASTIC UPGRADE COPY.
POSTAGE WILL BE ROYAL MAIL 24 HOUR WITH TRACKING
