This is an ORIGINAL Decca UK 1st MONO pressing from 1967 and is in STUNNING condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is TXL 103 on the ORIGINAL UNBOXED 'Ridged' Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Rolling Stones at their best!!!! Any fan of The Rolling Stones, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only a couple of the VERY faintest NON sounding hairlines (only visible under EXTREME light), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS A 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps and NO crackle!!!! There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion!!!! The only other thing to mention is that the record is slightly uneven - though this DOES NOT affect play in ANY respect and ANY needle will EASILY cope with it with NO problems AT ALL!!!!  The record must STRICTLY visually grade Very Good++++ if not better - with the playing grade better still!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL Red 'Smoke' inner sleeve which is in FANTASTIC condition with NO splits and NO fading to the colour!!!! The Gatefold 3D EARLIEST (and EXTREMELY rare) 1st Press Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! LOOK AT THE PICTURES - can you get much better???? It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), STUNNING shiny laminate, only a VERY few light creases (Cover is VERY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! The unlaminated inside is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness and NO yellowing!!!! The only minor defect to the cover is some slight 'frosting' to the VERY edges 3D panel - though this is NOT wear AT ALL - just typical slight ageing!!!!  Even with this - as you can see from the pictures - the 3D panel and the whole cover look STUNNING!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not better - and looks STUNNING!!!! THIS LP IS REALLY TOUGH TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION - AND IMPOSSIBLY RARE WITH AN EARLIEST 1ST PRESS COVER!!!!  DONT MISS OUT!!!! 

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!
