Patented white inner sleeves with cut out central circles, made in England credits in blue text are the genuine originals of this first UK press and are in excellent condition .No rips nor tears. Beautifully maintained .

Album sleeve

Original first issue heavyweight sleeve with unlaminated boxed format . Heavier feel than the later reissues which were made of lighter paper manufacture. Square and solid spine and  clearly shows title. Scuffs only on top and lower spinal edge. Very fragile card manufacture, with slight edge wear . NO rips nor tears which is truly remarkable as vinyls are pulled out from a compartment on the inside of the gatefold. Slight discoloration on outer faces and has caused white to show some browning due to ageing process. Excellent condition .

Complete with rare post cards,10 attached in concertina format, two separated in a pair which completes the set. Reverse endorsed with “Rolling Stones Records” to confirm genuine first issue UK postcards. No surface damage to fronts except one which is lightly creased. Sticky residue on three of the reverse faces causing a brown discoloration. Otherwise excellent condition . Becoming more and more difficult to track down these days.

Labels

Beautiful two vinyl set with Rolling Stones labels in excellent condition bearing the red tongue logos. Excellent + condition with the faintest of spindle tracing from all four labels . Hardly played condition with that just pressed appearance !

Picture inner sleeves have no rips, tears or seam splits. Excellent with no discoloration observed. Later issues are much thinner and lighter but these inner sleeves are thick ,with a  heavyweight feel and are the genuine first issue picture inner sleeves only found with the first pressing from this album release.

Vinyls

Virtually NR MINT and virtually UNMARKED from all four sides . Factory fresh and ultra clean visual !!!One light surface visible only from the entire two records. Hardly played and carefully handled. Vinyls are thick quality, vintage pressings with a staggering, mirror like sheen. Remarkable vintage album presentation and impossible to locate like this!

Audio

Beautiful tones delivered with a mellow warmth and a definitive edge.  Doubt whether one can find better than this. Excellent+ aural delivery with little to fault .

One of the best examples of this awesome Stones classic . Extremely difficult to locate in this sensational condition, complete with a full set of postcards.
