Description
A chance to own a rare original lovely 1st press Decca UK MONO copy of the classic 1966 Rolling Stones lp Aftermath Cat No LK 4786 indicating it is indeed Monaural.Matrices are 1A 4B for this copy.This version i have for sale is even rarer than others because the pink colouring on this sleeve is lighter & paler in comparison to slightly later presses.See pictures and you'll see what i mean. (Also see my other auction for another very rare 1966 Argentina Mono press with the USA London Records track variation).The mono mix of this first lp the Stones wrote entirely in house with no covers is THE one to own and this copy plays brilliantly letting the fantastically punchy original 1960s mono sound really strut it's stuff.It's a 50 (!) year old lp that's lived a little so of course there are signs of play,some wispy hairlines & scuffs.Playback wise there are some mild background ticks and low level 'static' on 1 or 2 tracks but only for a second or 2 and mostly between the track run in of the songs.Certainly not enough to spoil the listeners enjoyment one bit.In summary a very nice 1966 early press in well decent condition.I'm sure it's new owner will not be diappointed.Most of these 1960s mono lp's i've encountered are pretty trashed..this one certainly isnt!! I play all the records i put up on Ebay on my classic Acoustic Research turntable and it always shows up any thing of concern..in this case nothing at all i'm glad to say.The cover is very nice indeed and pretty clean for a 50 year old (!) item save for a slight laminate bubble/line on the top right corner on the front and some mild signs of ageing on the white background on the rear but nothing much to worry about as you can see in the photos.The spine is strong,and as i said it's a very nice example at a fair price.As always feel free to ask any questions and i'll get back to you as soon as possible.I'll ship this rare item anywhere in the known universe aka outside the UK at cost of £8.50.I always try to parcel records safely and as i like them to be when i'm buying them.Thanks for looking in.Cheers and greetings from Cityrocker.123 :)
