ON OFFER HERE IS THIS SUPERB & GENUINE UK FIRST MONO PRESSING OF THE FANTASTIC ALBUM “BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE AND GREEN GRASS)” BY THE ROLLING STONES ON THE TURQUOISE/BLUE DECCA RECORD LABEL.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE RECORD - THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE STAPLED-IN PHOTO BOOK IS LOVELY AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS FANTASTIC. IMPORTANTLY THE LABELS BOTH FEATURE UN-BOXED DECCA LOGOS.

THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERB LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WITH THE PHOTO BOOKLET STAPLED IN THE MIDDLE, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT BRUISING TO TWO OF THE CORNERS. THERE IS THE BEGINNING OF SOME BUBBLING IN THE LAMINATION NEAR THE BOTTOM LEFT-HAND CORNER ON THE FRONT. THERE IS A VERY SMALL CREASE ON THE BACK NEAR THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER. THE WHITE SPINE WITH BLACK TITLES IS NEARLY PERFECT. THE 6 PAGES OF THE PHOTO BOOKLET ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE, WITH FOUR BOXED BLOCKS OF BLUE TEXT, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME VERY LIGHT TANNING.  

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT HALOGEN LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME VERY LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
