ROLLING STONES Let It Bleed (Rare 1969 UK first issue 9-track stereo vinyl LP, on the blue unboxed Decca label with upside down matrix label print above the catalogue number and no speed credit on side 1. Front laminated picture sleeve, with correct blue company inner crediting The London Bach Orchestra. The sleeve [VG+/EX-] has a little creasing evident, some minor laminate lift towards the edges mainly near the top where there is very start of a small split but this is minor. There are just some light surface marks mostly to the unlaminated back panel which also has a little general discolouration in places. Overall though both panels remain bright with fully legible text along with the spine with no writing present. The inner has just a few natural shallow creases to show where the record was in place with no tears or seam splits. The vinyl is graded VG with some general cosmetic paper scuffs and hairlines and only the odd superficial light scratch doing little to affect playback other than occasional background noise, however there are no axial or deep scractches and the labels remain remarkably clean labels with little in the way of spindle wear and no apparent marking. Commensurate with its grading and age light play is evident but the condition of the labels indicate the majority of any surface marks are paper scuffing from removal of disc from inner. Overall a very respectable copy of this first edition Stonewall Stones classic! SKL5025)
