Tracklisting & More Information

History:

The sixth release by the Rolling Stones was recorded over a number of sporadic sessions amidst a blur of court appearances, prison sentences, & psychedelic drugs. Arguably one of the Stones' more 'out there' affairs, it received mixed reviews at the time, & remains a controversial release in their back catalogue.

Matrix Numbers & Mono Mix

Side 1 - ARL-8126-1P
Side 2 - ARL-8127-P1

The original master tape was mixed two times, the first one was used for mono records only and the second one was used both for mono and stereo records. The two mixes, in this instance, used for pressing the mono record can be identified by the matrix number.

As the matrix numbers on this copy contain the 'P' identifier, it confirms a first, true mono mix. Later 'T' matrices were in fact the stereo recording folded down to one channel to create a mono sound.

Take the song “The Lantern” for example. There is a bell tolling in the beginning of the song. A true mono record has the bell tolling three times before the music starts. A fold down from stereo to mono AND a real stereo LP has the bell tolling two times before the music starts.

Sleeve:

This is the first issue sleeve, with the mono text on the bottom right hand corner of the back of the sleeve, later issues had this printed on the top right hand corner. Also worth noting that if you look closely in the 3D part of the sleeve you can pick out images of Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison lurking amongst the psychedelia. Good luck, it took me a while to spot them!

The red flame inner is present & correct, with no writing and has a small tear at the opening on the tops. The cover grades a nice VG+ with a small chip on the corner of the 3D difraction grating on the front. The maze inside has been attempted and each corner annotated 'Stones'.

Labels & Vinyl:

The labels reveal some spindle wear to indicate play.

The heavyweight vinyl grades VG/VG- & has been professionally cleaned on a top of the line Matrix machine. There are a number of cosmetic scuffs & hairline marks here & there but very little that would upset the mono playback in any noticeable way; there is a small mark on Gomper which results in a few clicks. By no means mint, this is a worthy collection filler & a true first mono press at a knockdown price.
