The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers Lp 1971 Gatefold Uk 1st Press

Labels :

Classic UK 1971 yellow RS labels Both sides are OUTSTANDING with NO real signs of age, NO graffiti, and NO writing OR tears whatsoever Just has an absolutely TINY amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this has barely been played at all IMPOSSIBLE for a 49 year old record Both must grade overall at least as Excellent

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1971 UK RS Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks AWESOME with NO really nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes are just some light wispy sleeve traces, a few mild hairlines and age marks, and just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs only visible in direct angled light mostly caused from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes interfere with play AT ALL AWESOME for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, skips OR sticks Only like pretty much ALL records has just a small amount of light ticks here and there on very rare occasions, and possibly just the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in the rarest few and far between places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks, but that s truly about it The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does play with a CD-like near 100 black silence, but with that bass, depth, clarity and warmth you can only get from original UK vinyl EVEN the vast majority of the quiet sections Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly as Excellent graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Sleeve :

Original 1971 unlaminated Andy Warhol designed WITHDRAWN GATEFOLD zip sleeve complete with original Richard Davis mini poster insert perfect and most likely never left the sleeve and original unsplit white inner IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO tears, NO writing, NO graffiti, NO bad marks AT ALL, and still strong and solid after all these years This sleeve only has a small amount of ultra light signs of ageing such as just a small amount of light creasing and the merest ghost of a record imprint, a small patch of very minor indents to the centre of the back very often the case with this sleeve from how they were stacked in storage, truly mild compared to most and some vague zip outline signs on the inside pic where the zip has rested totally unavoidable with this cover, though the amount of wear is truly minimal for once , a touch of denting to the four corners which ALL vintage sleeves have, and POSSIBLY just to be sure one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all And that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this truly is a MAGNIFICENT sleeve, and a SERIOUS rarity to find one as incredible as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one The super fragile belt is totally intact for once Outstanding It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and mostly readable Must grade overall at the least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Summary : A MAGNIFICENT example of this PHENOMENALLY RARE WITHDRAWN GATEFOLD VARIATION of this original 1971 UK rock classic Hard to find in ANY condition, but IMPOSSIBLY HARD TO FIND ONE AS TRULY OUTSTANDING AS THIS YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don t miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60 s/70 s music history Bid now

I ve realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system occasionally with a or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i m having real trouble deciding , so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100 perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps
