AI-assisted summary

   

Description from the seller

A highly desirable original 1969 UK first stereo pressing of Let It Bleed, issued on the classic unboxed Decca label. Released in December 1969, Let It Bleed stands as one of the defining albums of The Rolling Stones' late-1960s period, featuring some of their most celebrated recordings including Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, You Can't Always Get What You Want and the title track. This copy carries the original SKL 5025 stereo catalogue number together with the early unboxed Decca label design—a visual characteristic that is essential to the first UK stereo issue and makes this considerably more desirable than the later boxed-label versions that followed.

⸻

Sleeve (VG+):
The original laminated sleeve remains structurally sound and displays well. The front is particularly clean and retains good laminate sheen. The rear shows some light staining and age-related discolouration, together with modest corner wear. Overall a presentable VG+ example. Complete with the original custom printed inner sleeve.

NO POSTER

Vinyl (VG+):
The vinyl retains a very attractive gloss. There are some superficial lines, light hairlines and general signs of previous play, together with a small amount of spindle wear around the labels. Nothing is feelable or seriously distracting, and playback remains strong and enjoyable throughout. Overall a solid VG+ example with very respectable visual presentation.
