This information confirms the earliest very first pressing of this magnificent Stones’ release.

Vinyl

EX visual !!!!! Thick quality press with a stunning appearance . Highly polished, glass like surfaces are breathtaking, with one long hairline and the odd light surface mark, disappearing under a staggering sheen. This vinyl has had a minimal playing history and has been handled only a few times. Previous owner admitted that it was hardly played, so rare to locate like this, as most of these first pressings were heavily played, resulting in massive groove wear and surface damage.

First issue stickered sleeve. Many album covers have had their sticker removed but this one is in excellent order with no surface damage and its contours are near perfect. Ex + with unfaded , black coloration  .

Album cover issue rare with no Upton text, with peep hole on reverse to indicate mono/stereo recording . Super rare album cover with Printed In England credits , impossible to locate like this and a genuine first issue album sleeve .Tapered spine . Excellent condition .NO edge wear visible. Hardly any feathering to opening edge . Spine is square and solid clearly showing title . Laminate on front face is so tight with no peeling visible. One corner creasing   .   No rips or tears. No surface damage. The laminated front face gives a deep glossy sheen and conveys a superb presentation to this fantastic album release. .

Inner red sleeve with printed lyrics in excellent order .  NO seam splits. Shows the impression of the vinyl but no rips or tears  .  Light creasing only visible . Beautiful exhibit !

POSTER NEAR MINT-

Would not be complete without this highly collectable addition . No rips or tears and in excellent++/nr mint - condition. A little folding toward lower edges and another beautiful exhibit to this first UK pressing . Now beginning to be very elusive and is highly valuable in its own right. Hardly handled owing to its sharp folds and hardly seen the light of day. Coloration strong and unfaded .  Kept inside the album cover and in super condition. Most are found missing so this item is highly valued .

Audio

VG/Ex aural delivery  . Tones are so exquisite and at times the clarity of the channels are truly remarkable .The monotone perspective operates in sensational style, each tone delivered with a profound depth and a razor sharp edge .The audio was graded on my Project turntable on a high volume . There is a fault on sound and must be pointed out to you. There is a scratch, almost invisible unless angled against a strong light, and produces a 35 sec repetitive tick, apart from that, nothing much else to mention. Side 2 during opening grooves ,  some static/crackle track 3 . Audio is at least a very good and considerably better for most of playback .

Bargain not to be missed.
