Released in April 1966 Aftermath was the Stones fourth UK studio album. It was the first to consist entirely of Jagger/ Richards compositions, while Brian Jones played a variety of instruments including sitar, Appalachian dulcimer, marimbas and Japanese koto, as well as guitar, harmonica and keyboards. Trivia: It was also the first Stones album to be recorded entirely in the US and their first album released in true stereo. It is also one of the earliest rock albums to eclipse the 50-minute mark, and contains one of the earliest rock songs to eclipse the 10-minute mark "Goin' Home".
Sleeve: Front laminated sleeve, white border and 'mono LK 4786' top left, light creases but no lamination lift, slight scuffing on outside edge and small 5cm split on upper edge graded VG+
Non-laminated back sleeve shows age related handling marks/stains probably slightly more VG than VG+
Labels: Original un-boxed Red/Silver grooved label, slight spindle wear/marks but no writing etc VG+
Vinyl: Heavy thick quality vinyl retains the majority of its original gloss and hasn't been overplayed or misused - wispy hairlines a couple of light scuffs and light non-feel able scratches graded VG+
Audio: Plays through fine, solid mono clear sound, no distortion, sticks or jumps. Has light (background) static crackle in-between some tracks caused primarily through a little dust, few light non-obtrusive pips T3 S1. There is a small non-feel-able scratch on the run-in of S2 that causes some pops for a few seconds, besides the latter nothing than overpowers, or interrupts - no nasty surprises VG+
With regards to age, I do not regard ‘good for age’ as a condition. Condition is primarily care related.
I have tried to be honest and transparent in my description - the photographs form part of the description. Questions are welcome, don't hesitate to ask. I have good feedback (and positive comments) as both a buyer and seller, so you can buy with confidence. I am a collector the few records I sell are either the results of upgrades, duplicates or thinning every now and again. If anything is not as expected, please contact me straight away, and I will do everything to resolve any problems without argument. Feedback: on receiving goods please let me know if you have any questions, otherwise kindly leave positive feedback and I will do likewise on receipt.
I strictly adhere to the Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide using one + or - for addition guidance:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality whatsoever The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little (if any) lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
