The 1972 UK double LP Exile on Main St. on Rolling Stones Records COC 69100 has the Robert Frank collage gatefold sleeve and came with a set of twelve perforated postcards. The labels are the tongue-and-lips design, and a complete original includes the postcard sheet and the correct four-side hand-etched matrices. Many UK cuts again show George Peckham's hand etchings in the dead wax.
Matrix / Runout
UK firsts carry COC 69100 A/B/C/D hand-etched matrices, frequently with George Peckham signatures. Counterfeits show uniform typeset runouts and missing or reproduced postcards.
3 Tells That Reveal a Fake
- 1
The twelve postcards are missing or reproduced on thin modern card rather than the original perforated sheet.
- 2
The Robert Frank gatefold collage looks washed out or pixelated instead of the gritty high-contrast original litho print.
- 3
The runouts are machine-typeset rather than the hand-etched COC 69100 matrices, sometimes with 'A Porky Prime Cut' on genuine UK cuts.
