This is in superb condition!..

It's SO hard to fine early Stones albums that have not been played to death,and the flimsy sleeve in undamaged condition...

The disc looks EX minus and plays EX+++..The sleeve is EX minus (A more detailed description is below)..

Issued by Decca on 15th January 1965..LK 4661...UK pressing in MONO...It still has it's original Decca paper inner sleeve...The sleeve has top and bottom flipbacks (unusual for early Stones albums)..

The sleeve notes have "Blind Man" text (this was pasted over on later issues)...

The matrix numbers are:XARL 6619 2A and XARL 6620 2A..The mothers and stampers are 1 GU and 2B BC..

Play grade on this is easily EX++..The sound quality is bright,clean and undistorted..I note ONE tiny pop on the first side only..There are NO nasty clicks or pops and crackle is almost non existant..It really does play superb....

The disc plays flat on the turntable with no edge warps and it does not stick or jump....

Visual grade is EX minus..There is ONE small scuff on the last track on side one..It has NO nasty scratches or scuffs and the disc still has a lovely sheen as well..There are a couple of light hairlines/paper scuffs,but they really are minimal..You can tell that this has been very well looked after..

The labels are clean with untarnished text,,There is minimal spindle wear..This disc has not had a lot of play!....

 The front laminated James Upton sleeve grades as Ex minus..The front has slight dischape and light laminate creasing around that discshape..There are 2 TINY patches of laminate lift along the front spine edge...The back has light discshape and light bends to the sleeve around that discshape..The back has light age discolouring around the edges..The flipbacks are clean and undamaged....It has NO other defects or damage..

The corners are square,there is no edge rubbing or damage to the spine (all the spine text is clearly legible)..The colours are bright and unfaded..Even the white has absolute minimal age fading..the opening edge has no fraying..

The Decca inner sleeve has some age yellowing but no seam splits,scribble or other defects..
