Description
Superb pristine copy of this 1970 album on UK Track 2406 002, featuring the rare 'puppet' sleeve. This looks like a 2nd re-pressing from 1970, although it looks too new to be this old! There is nothing about this copy to suggest it might be a modern copy but I stand to be corrected. Matrix nos. are 2406 002 A/ 2406 002 B.
Sleeve (single, unlaminated) - Ex +
Labels - Near Mint. Tiny amount of spindlewear.
Vinyl - visually near Mint. Plays Ex +, with just a tiny amount of crackle in places.
All records are from my own personal collection. I am not a dealer but I have been collecting records for over 40 years. Occasionally I have excess items to sell off, all of which have been carefully play-tested. I use a Sansui SR-222 Mk 2 turntable, with an SME headshell and an Ortofon NF 15E Mk 2 cartridge. The tracking weight used is a very light 0.75 grams, which will show up any jumps.
I use the Record Collector grading system, and I try to slightly under-grade wherever possible to avoid disappointment. I always give a refund if the buyer is not completely satisfied. Please contact me if there are any problems, rather than leaving negative feedback (I haven’t had any so far!).
Postage to the UK is £2.50, with £1.00 for each extra record.
Postage to Europe is £4.50, with £1.50 for each extra record.
Postage to the rest of the world is £8.00, with £2.00 for each extra record.
Payment is normally by PayPal, but I will accept cheques from UK bidders.
All items are sent in cardboard envelopes, with at least 1 stiffener. Records will be placed outside the sleeve in a new polylined inner to avoid damage to the sleeve.
Please look out for my other auctions over the coming weeks.
Happy bidding!

* I have been reliably informed by another eBayer that this is a modern repressing, the evidence being that there is a circular mark above the puppet of Brian Jones' head - this was not on the original. This is still a great item nevertheless.*
