Description

ROLLING STONES - Aftermath LP MONO on unboxed DECCA label

These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding

This listing is for an original copy of the Stones' fourth album

Rolling Stones
Aftermath
UK pressing on unboxed red DECCA label
1966
Cat Number: LK 4786 dead wax 4A / 5B 
Mode: Mono
Producer: Andrew Loog Oldham

The Album:
The brilliant Stones, their fourth LP and by now writing their own stuff, so all songs by Jagger/Richard. There seem to have been masses of cover/label versions so if it matters, it looks like this is label design 4 version 2. It has K/T tax codes on both sides, Mirage Music over BIEM & NCB in boxes over MCPS without the inserted full stops. Text is in a mix of Arial / Times Roman type, and 'MICK, KEITH, CHARLIE, BRIAN & BILL' is in the larger version.
 
Condition:
Cover:  Single sleeve, front-laminated is solid and bright. Some light ring wear, light creases, but generally very clean and sound. No writing or stickers. Spine is firm and text is clearly legible.
Labels: Red DECCA unboxed labels, bright and clean, variants as mentioned above. A few spindle marks but not excessive. No writing or stickers.
Vinyl: Nice glossy vinyl with still decent lustre. A few light hairlines and paper scrapes and one obvious scrape mark which does not mess up the audio. It plays generally really well with just an occasional light background crackle.

Overall:
A very nice copy of this album - I'd guess that this might be professionally graded at (cover / vinyl) VG+ / VG+.

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. I played a lot of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.

Postage: Royal Mail 'restructured' prices in April 2013. Not necessarily all bad news, it depends what you buy - a single LP to most destinations is now more expensive, but within UK revised weight ranges allow two or three LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. Approximate prices for normal postage & packing -

UK £3.35 for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs),

Europe £5.30 + £1.45 each additional,

Rest of world £7.55 + £2.70 each additional item

These amounts include estimated actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 35p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener).
I am happy to hold records for a short while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days.

Apologies, but owing to unreliability of some postal services, I will not ship to Italy, Russian Federation, & other former Soviet countries unless a signed for service is selected and paid for.

Losses: Royal Mail have reduced maximum compensation to £20 unless items are signed-for. Compensation on signed-for shipments is up to £50. Overseas purchasers - if your purchase is well over £20, a signed for service must be selected when paying or shipping will be at your own risk, not mine, and normal airmail will only be covered for up to £20.

Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via Paypal

I have decided to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.
Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my precious vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
