Description Hello! Please note, that I will be doing TWO sets of auctions this week! This auction will end on late Wednesday 20th March UK time. Of course, I usually end my auctions on Sundays.

So don't forget to check back before Wednesday - to see some incredible items added to BOTH auctions! Please read on about this AMAZING item below, and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid:- On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rolling Stones called "Exile On Main Street" and is an ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Rolling Stones label!!!!

AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS DOUBLE LP!!!! 100% GENIUNE UK 1ST PRESSINGS ARE SERIOUSLY RARE NOW, AND AS THIS LP WAS PRESSED THROUGHOUT THE 1970s - IT MAKES IT VITALLY IMPORTANT TO SHOW THAT THIS IS INDEED A 100% GENIUNE UK 1ST PRESSING FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' BACK IN 1972!!!! ALSO 'COVER & RECORD' SWAPPING ARE COMMON ON THIS LP - SO AGAIN IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO SHOW THAT ALL PARTS OF THIS LP ARE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT TO THIS 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING!!!!

Cheers!!!!! --ooOOoo-- Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!

Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords. PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
