MADE IN ENGLAND
FRONT-LAMINATED COVER.
Flowers was issued on July 15th 1967 in Europe and not in the uk !!!
Flowers is again one of the odd birds in the UK catalogue. The LP was actually not sold in UK until mid 70's and then with a boxed label,
It was initially made in the UK for export to Europe with the unboxed label, which is the one listed here.
It did not really sell that good either, which makes this a pretty rare an highly sought after Stones album !!!!

A FEELABLE HAIRLINE ACROSS GROOVES AT "LADY JANE" AND "OUT OF TIME" WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT SOUND.
RECORD PLAYS WITH MODERATE CRACKLE - MOSTLY MUSIC OVERPOWERS CRACKLE.
AT FADEOUTS OR AT QUIET PASSAGES - CRACKLE IS MOST OBVIOUS.
