This is a first pressing copy of Rod Stewart's landmark 1971 album "Every Picture Tells A Story." The album reached No. 1 on both the U.K. and U.S. charts while the single "Maggie May" was also topping the charts. Stewart was joined on the album by all five members of The Faces (which he was still fronting) including Ronnie Wood and Ian McLagan. It ranks high on every record critics list for greatest albums of all time.
This copy is in excellent condition. The disc is VG+ which is as high as I rate vintage vinyl. The outer sleeve is also VG+ with just some minor ring wear which can barely be seen in the photos.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.
Free shipping is included in the special corrugated album mailer seen in the last picture.
This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 49 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
