EARLIEST FIRST PRESSING of this gigantic Stones classic.
Gatefold sleeve
So rare to find such a beauty as this. Printed by Garrod & Lofthouse and protected from sunlight and hidden away in polythene for many years.Now she appears in all her glory.Fantastic glossy sheen with a thick coat of laminate across front/reverse face. So smooth and shiny as one runs their fingers over this album sleeve, so seldom found with hardly a laminate lift or crease. Just a slight peel along the delicate spinal area but other than that , this album cover is very near perfection. Spine solid and square with title clearly visible. Minimal feathering to opening edge. Opens to near perfect inner faces displaying the feasting centrefold. All inks unfaded and what a sight to behold. No damage at all and inner faces are superb. Beautiful sleeve. Near mint minus condition and almost impossible to locate like this.
Inner sleeve
Polylined with Patents pending credit. Excellent condition with important notice details.Original and no damage to report.
Labels
A vision spectacular. Red mono label format with freshly pressed appearance, ultra clean and a pure delight. Hardly a spiderline and in near mint condition. Rich scarlet coloration appears stunning against the highly polished , jet black vinyl. No fading and silvery text so pronounced, as new.So rare to find like this . Absolute beauties.
Vinyl
Thick cut, heavy weight pressing, gives a buzz when held. Stunning visual with only the lightest of hairlines/scuffs if angled against a bright light. Ultra clean vinyl surfaces and very lightly played indeed. Most were found used and abused, heavily played into submission but this record is perhaps the best one you will ever come across. Possibly the best example of the earliest issue of this monumental Stones classic.
Audio
Opens with delightfully clear channels. Sympathy For The Devil begins this awesome recording in sensational style. No crackle. An absolute delight. Have never heard a better audio than this as the channels are predominantly clear but most important of all, there is no distortion detected and tones are delivered with a pinpoint precision and a razor sharp edge. There are so many Stones classics found with massive groove wear and surface damage owing to the heavy stylii that were used in those vintage years. This record appears lightly played and the aural delivery is mostly excellent.From the entire record, a very slight pop and two light ticks detected from one track which are hardly noticeable. Apart from that, nothing much to fault. Absolutely sensational channels and will be hard pressed to find a better example of this monumental classic. Probably the best audio you are ever likely to hear from this release !!
A very rare exhibit indeed and is of pure investment quality.Do not miss this opportunity of owning one of the best examples of this huge Stones release.Impossible to locate in this truly stunning condition.
Safe Packaging / enclosed in polythene to prevent any moisture exposure during transit. Two stiffeners employed either side of the vinyl. Will guarantee safe arrival . Check my feedback and bid with confidence.
Absolutely Awesome!
