TRACKLISTING: History:
The sixth release by the Rolling Stones was recorded over a number of sporadic sessions amidst a blur of court appearances prison sentences & psychedelic drugs. Arguably one of the Stones more out there affairs it received mixed reviews at the time & remains a controversial release in their back catalogue.
Matrix Numbers & Mono Mix
Side 1 - ARL-8126-1P
Side 2 - ARL-8127-P1
The original master tape was mixed two times the first one was used for mono records only and the second one was used both for mono and stereo records. The two mixes in this instance used for pressing the mono record can be identified by the matrix number.
As the matrix numbers on this copy contain the P identifier it confirms a first true mono mix. Later T matrices were in fact the stereo recording folded down to one channel to create a mono sound.
Take the song “The Lantern” for example. There is a bell tolling in the beginning of the song. A true mono record has the bell tolling three times before the music starts. A fold down from stereo to mono AND a real stereo LP has the bell tolling two times before the music starts.
Sleeve:
This is the first issue sleeve with the mono text on the bottom right hand corner of the back of the sleeve later issues had this printed on the top right hand corner. Also worth noting that if you look closely in the 3D part of the sleeve you can pick out images of Ringo Starr John Lennon Paul McCartney & George Harrison lurking amongst the psychedelia. Good luck it took me a while to spot them!
The red flame inner is present & correct with no writing or major splits. The cover grades a nice VG+ with only minor signs of age wear with the usual bit of bowing from the 3D difraction grating on the front.
Labels & Vinyl:
The labels reveal some spindle wear to indicate play.
The heavyweight vinyl grades VG/VG- & has been professionally cleaned on a top of the line Matrix machine. There are a number of cosmetic scuffs & hairline marks here & there but very little that would upset the mono playback in any noticeable way. By no means mint this is a worthy collection filler & a true first mono press at a knockdown price.
