COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:  UK
DESCRIPTION:  Original 10-track stereo vinyl LP on yellow Rolling Stones label with small red tongue & lips logo, housed in Andy Warhol designed  top and bottom opening matt picture sleeve with small working zipper complete with picture/credits insert.  This is a very early pressing without the "A Promotone N.V. Record" text on the labels.  As the first known matrix for this release is A3/B3 and this copy is A4/B3, I believe this to be a 1st issue / 2nd pressing.  The small metal zipper on the front of the sleeve unzips to reveal the "Andy Warhol: This Photograph May Not Be... Etc." text on a pair of white underpants.
TRACK LISTING:
Side 1 1. Brown Sugar 2. Sway 3. Wild Horses 4. Can't You Hear Me Knocking 5. You Gotta Move
Side 2 1. Bitch 2. I Got The Blues 3. Sister Morphine 4. Dead Flowers 5. Moonlight Mile
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  The sleeve is in excellent condition with only very slight scuffing on the spine and small indentations on the rear, probably caused from the zipper of another copy of Sticky Fingers.  The insert, printed in England by Richard Davis Ltd. is also in excellent condition.  The vinyl has obviously been played many times and has some noticeable surface marks but has been intensively listened to and remains audibly excellent.  Although the vinyl is not as lovely as the sleeve and insert, this a still a very nice item.  If in doubt please take the time to read our feedback

UK RECORD COLLECTOR'S GRADING SYSTEM:

MINT:  The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT:  The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD:  The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD:  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR:  The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.  The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
