The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers A4/B4 Withdrawn Gatefold UK Vinyl COC 59100
The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers A4/B4 UK Withdrawn Gatefold Vinyl Record COC 59100 Zip.
The sleeve has aged very well indeed for a 1971 album. The zipper is small and square as it should be. The following iteration was the round PAN zipper. The insert here is German. Of course what makes this a holy grail piece is its original and hastily withdrawn gatefold sleeve. Very few escaped and less so, exist in this condition.
T.M.L. ROLLING STONES RECORDS hand-etched in the runout grooves (The Mastering Lab). Later pressings were not pressed there and suffer from a far less dymanic sound. There is a world of difference in the soundscape once compared to any other pressing. It is subtle but definitive.
If you’re after this pressing with gatefold, I very much doubt you’ll find a better example for some time. Sad to let this go. In fact I’m quite happy to have it framed! Good luck, I hope it goes to a great home.
