I recently acquired a stunning Rolling Stones collection and I will listing them over the next 2/3 months.  The vinyls are in superb condition as are the covers.
The Rolling Stones : Let It Bleed 6W / 2W Blue Boxed Stereo Press + Poster

This blue boxed stereo pressing plays to the highest standard with no interference at all.  There are only a couple of minor static ticks and there are obviously no clicks, pops or background static, the clarity is out of this world!  As this is part of the 'pristine' collection I purchased I would not be surprised if this vinyl had never been played before, the sonic quality certainly suggests that.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition and has no spindle wear.  A FINAL UPGRADE pressing in every regard.

It may not be a first stereo pressing but is certainly one of the earlier blue boxed versions according to the stonesondecca site and was pressed between 1970 and 1972.

The cover is stunning and I am sure many would grade as Mint but I have been a little more conservative and said Near Mint+!  The original poster is immaculate and the inner sleeve is also in excellent shape.  There is no printed inner sleeve with this LP sadly as it seems not all of the later stereo pressings included it.

Visual description
The vinyl is in pristine condition and still has an immaculate jet-black glossy sheen with no marks or scratches.  In all honesty it looks as good as new and I cannot even find any hairlines.  The run out grooves are very clean also and you can easily the JT tax code on each.  The blue boxed Decca labels are perfect with no spindle wear.
Play grading

The intro on the classic 'Gimme Shelter' has no background and the opening vocal section is perfect.  It continues to play with a clarity, depth and power that cannot be faulted and from start to finish there is no interference.  A perfect fade out also - a superb Mint start to S1.  Merry Clayton's vocals really stand out here by the way!

'Love In Vain' plays beautifully throughout with a sublime clarity of sound.  There is just one very light static towards the end of the first mandolin section but you hardly notice it really!  Each note is so sharp and precise here and the playback is incredible!  Mint-

The intro on 'Country Honk' plays to perfection and Jagger's opening vocal is equal to that.  This standard is kept up as it progresses and there are no negatives.  Just pure Mint audio from the first note to the last.

The bass intro on 'Live With Me' has no intrusion and from then on plays with exceptional clarity and power.  Jagger's vocal is so strong here and once again only a Mint grade will do.  There are no ticks, clicks, pops or static - literally no background so what else can I do!  The sonic quality is 'as new'.

The 'slide' intro on 'Let It Bleed' is faultless and the first verse is just as strong.  In fact every section plays with impeccable quality and for once there is barely any inner groove distortion.  A powerful version that grades as Mint- such is the quality.

----------------------------------------------------------

'Midnight Rambler' plays with stunning audio and no interference.  The clarity is just incredible and that is particularly obvious during the quieter section of the instrumental, there is no background at all.  The end section plays with supreme power and no distortion.  This is Mint in every single way.

No hiding place for 'You Got The Silver' being such a quiet number for the majority and the opening section does indeed play so clearly with no interference - just a couple of mega quiet statics.  As stated this vinyl may never have been played before and it certainly sounds like it!  As the volume increases there is no let up and this deserves a Mint grade also.

The long intro on 'Monkey Man' is 'as new' and the same applies to the first vocal.  It continues to play with a clarity and power that is second to none and the mid instrumental is just fantastic!  The remainder plays with wonderful precision, no background at all.  Another Mint track.

The 'choral' intro on the classic 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' has not one dust tick, the playback is perfect.  The acoustic section is just as clean and then Jagger's first verse / chorus have no intrusion either.  It continues to play with superb audio with no sign of any interference.  A 'busy' track of course and yet despite being the final track the audio does not suffer for it.  As a case in point the 'louder' London Bach Choir sections are just stunning.  Stunning clarity and power.  There is one tick at the end of the fade out so I will grade as Mint- accordingly but wow what a version!

In summary this stereo version could not play any better.  The clarity, depth, power and warmth of the audio is certainly comparable to an un-played record there are quite simply no negatives.  A FINAL UPGRADE version in every respect with the cover and poster in superb condition also.

The Cover, Poster & Inner Sleeve

The cover is superb and I am sure many would say it is like new and it is certainly true to say there is no obvious wear.  The edges and spine are perfect and the corners have no noticeable wear.  The opening edge is pristine also.  The 'laminated' front cover is stunning with just one tiny laminate crease and just a minimal touch of laminate lift near the top left corner but that is being picky!  The unlaminated back cover just has a couple of specks and a small mark just below the track titles but this is more of a print mark really.  This is a superb example of this iconic cover and as can be seen it has the indicator hole in the top left corner.

The original poster is in perfect condition and looks like it has never been opened before!

The original poly-lined inner sleeve has no side splits, tears or marking just a little creasing here and there.
