Tracklisting & More Information
The Sleeve
The front laminated sleeve shows only minimal signs of ageto the front, with some light creasing whilst there are a few light signs of wear to the reverse and and retains the original front sticker advertising the poster included with the album. The sleeve states 'Printed In England' on the back which was denotes this as the first issue sleeve.
The Inner
The blue Decca stereo inner shows light creasing to corners and has the album credits printed on them, and still lists the London Bach Choir credit, which was blacked out and then later ommited entirely from later issues.
The Poster
The full colour poster remains Unused, without pin holes and just a little corner creasing. Many of these posters would have ended up adorning the walls of teenage girls in the late sixties, but this one remains in excellent condition.
The Vinyl
The vinyl shows some obvous signs of play, however nothing that would cause too much loss of sound, perhaps an ambient crackle or surface noise during quieter passages of music. This record has been playchecked and professionally cleaned. Visually it would be graded as VG+, yet finding a complete copy of this first pressing is near impossible in any condition. The labels are the blue unboxed or 'open' labels with the XZAL number inverted (later issues were the correct way up) and ommits the 33 1/3 rpm playing speed from the labels, confirming that this is first label variant used on this record.
One of the Rolling Stones finest records, this is the perfect oppurtunity to own a first issue at an advantagous price, as this record is creeping up in value now, and to find a copy of this near 45 year old gem in any condition is becoming harder and harder.
