THE ROLLING STONES
MONO
THIS IS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS AS IT HAS THE K/T TAX STAMP ON THE LABELS AND IN THE RUN OFFS, ALSO PRESSED WITH THE DEEP GROOVE LABEL, AND BLUE LABEL WITH SILVER WRITING !!!!
THIS IS THE ROLLING STONES AND THEIR 1ST COMPILATION UK ALBUM, RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 1966. THEY WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, AND ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME. THIS STONES CLASSIC PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH NO NASTY AUDIO ISSUES, AND IT IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!! 

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  XARL-7504-2A  'KT'  ::  XARL-7504-3A  'KT'. 
ON THE BLUE UNBOXED DECCA LABEL  ::  TXL.101 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL EARLIEST MONO FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE, WITH ORIGINAL BOOKLET WHICH IS STILL ATTACHED INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. THE SPINE IS SOLID AND FULLY READABLE WITH A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SOLID WITH SOME LIGHT RUB ON THE OUTER EDGES. THERE ARE SOME TINY CREASE LINES DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THE STILL ATTACHED BOOKLET IS IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS OR WRITING. THERE IS ALSO SOME VERY FAINT RING WEAR, AND A SMALL RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, SO I WOULD GRADE THIS EARLY MONO ORIGINAL A BIT BETTER THAN VERY GOOD, SO  :: VG/VG+ .  

VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO STICKS, SKIPS OR JUMPS, AND REALLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE OR OVER THE AUDIO, BUT NOT REALLY FOR THE PERFECTIONIST. YES IT DOES PLAY WELL AND IS STILL VERY ENJOYABLE, SO I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK DESCRIPTION, WHICH I THINK IS THE BEST AND FAIREST WAY >>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . 

TRACK 2 :: HAS A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS NOT A LOT, AND THE ONLY TRACK OF NOTE IS TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2. VISUALLY THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETICS, BUT AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME SMALL AND MEDIUM COSMETIC HAIRLINES AND SOME TINY COSMETIC MARKS. IT DOES SOUND A LOT, BUT THEY HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT RATHER THAN A MAJOR AUDIO EFFECT, AS I SAID, IT STILL IS A GREAT LISTEN, AND IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE VINYL DESCRIPTION, AND AUDIO DESCRIPTION, THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN IT ARRIVES !!!! SO FOR AN AUDIO GRADE AND AS YOU CAN SEE MOST TRACKS PLAY FINE WITH NO ISSUES . SO WITH NOTHING INTRUSIVE, AND TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, I WILL GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX- .  

LABELS :: EARLIEST IST PRESSED, WITH DEEP GROOVE AND K/T TAX CODE ON BOTH LABELS. JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE FAINT LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX- .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST SOME VERY LIGHT AGEING  :: EX- .

PLAYS VERY WELL, AND AS MENTIONED, IT IS TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2 OF ANY NOTE. THERE ARE ALSO THOSE COSMETICS ON THE VINYL, AND IT HAS A NICE SOLID ORIGINAL GATEFOLD AND IS A GREAT 60's 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE.
