ROLLING STONES - Aftermath – unboxed Decca UK LP mono     

After a brief rest and the sale of a few from my classical collection, I am now back to shifting some more rock / pop / psych / folk etc..
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

Anyway, this listing is for a copy of the Stones 1966 album

Rolling Stones
Aftermath
UK issue on unboxed Decca label
1966
Cat Number: LK 4786 
Mode: Mono

The Album:
The Stones in early R&B mode, very practised at sounding raw. They could not do much wrong in their first 10 years so this is just one of many classics. All their own compositions, some great tracks on here including one of my all time favourites, Under my Thumb.

Condition:
Cover:  Gatefold front-laminated sleeve is in decent condition.  It is strong and intact with no tears but some creasing to the laminate. The spine text is perfectly legible. The unlaminated rear is a bit grubby with age, and has the previous owner’s name written on it.
Labels: Bright, clean, no stickers or writing. Quite a few visible spindle marks.
Vinyl: Quite nice vinyl. A number of faint surface scrapes but no nasty looking scratches. It plays very well throughout except for a one groove jump in Mothers Little Helper otherwise just an odd background crackle in quieter patches, of which there are few.

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 just 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: Within UK revised weight ranges usually allow up to three LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. For all other destinations costs are weight dependent, but incremental cost from additional LP's will normally cost less than the first. I am happy to hold records for a 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. Approximate prices for normal postage & packing -

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

Europe £5.30 normal airmail, £10.60 signed-for. + £1.45 each additional,

Rest of world £7.55 normal airmail, £12.85 signed-for.  + £2.70 each additional item

These amounts include actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 35p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener). The greedy snouts in the trough at Ebay now charge sellers 10% of postage costs for which there can be no justification - I refuse to pass this shameful levy on to buyers, so you only pay post and packing.

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.
