SUPERB LOOKING EXAMPLE OF A RARE ORIGINAL EARLIEST SLEEVED & VINYLED RARER STEREO  PRESSING ! - GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

FOR  DOMESTIC UK BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE THAT ITEMS THAT SELL WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA SIGNED FOR RECORDED DELIVERY WHICH IS GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND GBP 4.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULENT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT, INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,

=====================================================

NOT ONLY IS THIS A SUPER LOOKING & PLAYING RARE UK  EARLIEST UNBOXED GROOVE RARER ORIGINAL STEREO XAMPLE BUT ALSO COMPLETE WITH ITS LOVELY FLAME INNER AND IN EARLIEST " DARK " SOFT CARD SLEEVE !!!

IT IS NOT WELL DOCUMENTED BUT THE EARLIEST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM CAM IN A DARKER MORE VIVID COLOURED SLEEVE ( SEE COMPARISON EXAMPLE PICS BELOW ) THAT ALSO DIFFERS FOR STANDARD SLEEVES IN THAT IT IS MADE FROM MUCH SOFTER - AND SO MORE FLIMSY CARD AND THE INSIDE CARD HAS A MORE GLOSSY WAXY FEEL TO IT TO THE STANDARD SLEEVES MATT INSIDE CARD THIS ALBUM, 

EXAMPLE PIC BELOW

IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT ALTHOUGH THE STEREO VERSION IS TODAY THE VERSION WE ARE MOST FAMILAIR WITH STEREO ORIGINAL COPIES ARE MUCH RARER THAN ORIGINAL MONO'S AS EVEN AS LATE AS EARLY 1968 UK DEMAND WAS MAINLY FOR MONO OVER STEREO. TRY FINDING ANOTHER UNBOXED COPY WITH THE GROOVES, UNBOXED COPIES AS RARE AS THEY ARE USUALLY ON THE SMOOTH LABEL INTRODUCED IN MID 68 !

DELAYED UNTIL THE END OF 1967 IS IRONICALLY ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BUT LEAST REGARDED STONES ALBUM. REGARDED BY MANY AS AN ABERRATION THE DELAY IN RELEASE MEANT IT MISSED THE HIGH WATER MARK OF FLOWER POWER AND CAME ACROSS AS A KIND OF CORPORAL PEPPER WITH ITS SLEEVE ART AND EVEN INNER APEING THE BEATLES ALBUM ( WELL AT LEAST THE 3D PICTURE WAS AN ORIGINAL IDEA ), SADLY THE MUSIC DID NOT. LUCKILY 1968 WAS A VERY DIFFERENT YEAR AND SUITED THE STONES RETURN TO A HARDER ROCK SOUND !!!
