Description
Artist or Band: THE ROLLING STONES
Album Title: Big Hits [High Tide and Green Grass].
Track Listing: Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?; Paint It, Black; It’s All Over Now; The Last Time; Heart of Stone; Not Fade Away; Come On; (I can’t get no) Satisfaction; Get off of My Cloud; As Tears go By; 19th Nervous Breakdown; Lady Jane; Time is on My Side; Little Red Rooster.
Label/Format: Decca (Turquoise, Large Unboxed Decca with ear logo. ffrr (Full Frequency Rnge Recording).
Label Condition: Superb clean examples that show only very light spindle traces, definitely one of cleanest examples of this very early pressing I have yet seen. Vitally important, there is barely any trace of wear around the actual spindle hole areas which is an even clearer indication for lack of plays, this one still fits very snuggly to my Rega spindle. Its pretty rare to find Stones mono albums with such minimal wear which is a massive bonus for any mono record - the fewer plays the better on those vintage crude technology decks from the mid-60s (please see my paragraph further down mono vs stereo to put a record like this into true context. (Please see label scans for all information needed, sorry the scans are not up my usual standard, the silver ink reflects off the scanner and becomes badly defined - rest assured, you are unlikely to find this pair or turquoise mono labels much better than this on this very popular title).
Cat Number: TXL.101.
Mono or Stereo: Mono (this was issued in stereo too, and in my experience far easier to find).
Country of Manufacture: England, UK
Rarity: Quite rare as an original. Like most Beatles albums Stones albums sold in large numbers too. This is a very common album to find on record, but the vast majority of copies will be later pressings - this title was repressed many times and later copies vary (more on that further down). Super clean mono copies of this hugely important album are quite rare now - lesser copies show up sometimes, but the more lightly played monos are far more ellusive (or simply not available to offer).
Original Year of Release: 1966, this copy on offer is very early.
Matrix Nos: XARL 7503-1A and XARL 7504-3A. The stampers are 2G GC and 1 U1. The tiny letters KT can be see at the twelve-o-clock position
