Overall Description
So here we have one of the rarest Rolling stones records out there!!
It is a first pressing of the Aftermath record, with an unboxed red Decca label and the rarest of rarest purple tinted shadow sleeve!!
Only a handful of these have surfaced on eBay and the record collector price guide values a mint copy at £150. Of all the record dealers I have spoken to, none of them have ever seen a copy!!
The shadow to the aftermath text was limited to the very first pressings of the sleeve and was quickly replaced with standard non-shadow text that we all know.
This is a great opportunity to own one of these super rare early prints!!
The vinyl has lots of surface marks including a couple of deep scratches so expect plenty of crackle and pop but there are no warps. As is the case with these sixties pressings, they have deep grooves and can be forgiving of a few scratches.
The sleeve is the main reason why most people will be looking at this. All edges are still glued together, the spine is in great condition. There is no writing or graffiti on the sleeve. There is a slight tear near Keith's chin about the size of a little finger nail but as you can see in the photographs it is barely seen. The laminate is still full in tact and has only, very slightly come away in the top left hand side. I've added photographs in the gallery of all of the slight imperfections for you to see for yourselves.
An incredible album, just look at the track line up! Quite simply one of, if not THE very best Stones album EVER!!! This is magnificent, this is a masterpiece, and it's their first LP of 100% Jagger/Richards originals!!! Definitely one of my favourite LP's of all time, what makes it so amazing is that it contains pure magic!!! You can tell it's all from the same session, as each track has got a really distinct flavour - this was where the Stones went from being a great blues band, to true revolutionaries who helped guide rock music to where it is today!!!
Really this is Brian Jones's album; every track has his signature all over it. From his Dulcimer, through his Harpsichord, to his Sitar - this is his moment, the record he put his soul into.
Tracklist : Mother's Little Helper, Stupid Girl, Lady Jane, Under My Thumb, Doncha Bother Me, Goin' Home, Flight 505, High And Dry, Out Of Time, It's Not Easy, I Am Waiting, Take It Or Leave It, Think, and What To Do.
