This is a fantastically rare instrumental album of Rolling Stones favorites played by Andrew Oldham (Rolling Stones' producer, whose role in the band was similar to that of George Martin in the Beatles). The versions presented here are instrumental tracks and word has it (we cannot confirm with any degree of certainty) that at least some Rolling Stones members - probably Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts - are members of Oldham's studio orchestra and featured in this album. Whatever the case, the campy James-Bond-like arrangements of the early Stones classics add a new twist to the all-familiar hits. This is a major rarity in the Rolling Stones discography and a near-impossible to find album in a playable condition. We proudly present here a beautiful original version.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A NO-RESERVE AUCTION!

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted below, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the normal room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE RECORD AS NEAR MINT. Some MICROSCOPIC abrasions are (barely) visible, but are for all practical purposes inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record comes in its original stock inner sleeve, which the label was using for their titles around the time this album came out.

(c)             The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the very first pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, exceedingly vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from your compact disc!

(d)            PLEASE NOTE: This - of course - is an ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(e)             Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its stereo counterpart. The mix is more natural, humane, "organic" and in some instances the mixes may be somewhat different than on the stereo version. We estimate that stereo copies of this album outnumber monos by a ratio of at least 2:1.
