Description

On offer here from my rare record collection is The Rolling Stones FLOWERS original 1967 UK DECCA 1st pressing with 1W 1W matrixes showing a true first pressing! Of note is THE FIRST PRESSINGS are becoming rarer and rarer by the day. Second boxed DECCA pressing are freely available. THIS ALBUM IS FANTASTIC! IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.  THIS SURELY HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST FIRST PRESSED COPIES STILL AVAILABLE AND BEING OFFERED FOR AUCTION.  I HAVE TEST PLAYED IT BEFORE LISTING AND CAN REPORT THAT IT PLAYS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANTLY in fantastic STEREO! It really sounds incredible on both sides when played loud! The music is ultra clear and sounds ABSOLUTELY AWESOME with the bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from a 1st Press DECCA UK STEREO vinyl! An outstanding listen which is amazing for a record of this age and rarity! Must grade overall audibly as a high Mint -! 

In visually grading the album, I can say that the vinyl/wax on both sides is in ex+ condition! Most of these 60s Stones LPs are as you expect usually found WITH lots of SCRATCHES. This one is NOT one of those.  The record labels are in top condition with NO writing, NO wear, and just a few spindle marks showing that this record has hardly been played!  

It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record must grade at Ex+ !  The Outer Sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear. It retains ALL its original flatness, MEGA shiny laminate and NO writing! The unlaminated back is also in excellent  condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, just a few brown spots.

Although I believe my description speaks louder than any photos can, please ask if you want to see more photos and I will send them to you.  For Buy it Now contact me!

OVERALL THIS IS A TOP GRADED ALBUM AND COMES WITH A NO QUIBBLE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!
