Stickered 1st issue album cover

Sticker becoming rarer , clearly visible and in excellent condition . No signs of any attempted removal and a fine example .

Sleeve is very good+/excellent/- , with no laminate lifting . No hand writing on reverse . Deep glossy, front face and a delight to view .First issue, Upton Printing Group printed , with mono/ Stereo peep hole! Really loved album sleeve with just one corner crease on upper left corner .Slightly stained on reverse.No rips, nor tears and a tremendous exhibit .

Complete with mega rare , 1st issue  poster in excellent condition. No rips, nor tears visible , just some very light handling impressions/creases only. This is the ultra rare, 1st issue poster with the thicker paper manufacture variant. Superb exhibit and so hard to track down . Strong coloration,  confirming that this poster has hardly seen the light of day. Fine exhibit !

Inner sleeve

Excellent ! Red inner sleeve with LIB credits/track listing etc. in wonderful condition. Hardly any creasing ,( only where the vinyl has been stored),with no seam splits, rips, nor tears except for a tiny split on one lateral edge, where there are a couple of rays of light shining through, from an internal perspective. CENSORED mono inner sleeve, with the London Bach Choir credits deleted. Historical item as the choir demanded that their credit be blacked out, as they did not want to be associated with this release.

Labels

Red open Decca label format . Very early, first issue label format and shows an ULTRA light spindle trace . Confirms a very lightly played vinyl. Excellent/+ condition with no fading of silver text . No mottling. No peeling. No rips. No tears. No graffiti of any kind. NO spindle wear visible. Beautiful examples of this historic release.

Vinyl

Against strong daylight, the vinyl appears in beautiful condition with a staggering, mirror like sheen. Under a strong halogen and angled at 45 degrees, the vinyl is assessed as having an excellent visual as there is some evidence of play. The odd hairline/a few surface marks located on S1 Tr2 / 1-2 ultra light scratches  faintly visible.  Any surface marks appear to disappear beneath its mirror like sheen.  Thick quality press, with a solid, robust appearance.

Audio

Excellent (save for S1Tr2 VG/+)

One of the better aural deliveries. There is some distant static  during the opening grooves, between tracks and during some of the quieter parts of the music, but does little to interfere with the music presentation.  The quality of the tones are exceptional, delivered with no distortion and the extra loud cut delivery is phenomenal. There are no skips, no jumps, nor repeats. The channels remain predominantly clear for most of play and if very fastidious,S1 Tr2 dips for a moment as there are two surface marks which cause 3 ultra faint ticks and a little crackle which does not last long and the vocals do rise above this blip on sound . There is no other disturbance to mention .One of the best aural deliveries I have heard from this magnificent release.

Make no mistake. This is an album that must be in every vinyl collection. A huge album release in the Stones repertoire .Will stand proud in any vinyl collection . The very first UK pressing, complete with the first issue UPTON printed , album cover, with the poster sticker, the censored ,1st issue ,red inner sleeve and first issue  poster.

A  COMPLETE example of this huge, influential masterpiece of the sixties . NOT to be missed !!!!!
