The open Decca Stereo releases are extremely difficult to locate these days. One can track down the mono and boxed stereo album releases but this particular issue appears to be very elusive indeed.
It was issued in mid 1969, two months before Decca changed its label format to a boxed logo. The unboxed Stereo albums were produced in extremely low numbers and are very hard to find especially in this condition .They were subjected to a seriously limited number release.
This was the Stones last album of the sixties and was released just after Brian Jones death. It is a phenomenal album with an infusion of R&B and rock & roll. And does it work well !
Album sleeve Excellent
Laminated front face with a high glossy sheen . Stickered sleeve , again becoming harder to locate now!
Earliest issue with clipped spine, clearly showing title . Upton Printing Group with peep hole on reverse . Later issues do not have this aperture. No discoloration on reverse face and grades a solid excellent. No rips, nor tears.Couple of minor creases. No feathering to opening edge . Vivid strong coloration on front face, better than most ! Ultra clean with a fresh feel .
Blue, original 1st issue inner sleeve – Excellent +.
NO seam splits and in excellent+ condition. Beautiful exhibit without the blacked out Choir credit, seen on later reissues . Hardly any creasing ,just the impression of where the vinyl lay . NO rips/tears.
Labels Excellent
Excellent navy blue open Decca format . Some evidence of play . No damage visible and are fine exhibits of this first issue, stereo release.
Vinyl Excellent visual
Thick quality pressing and a heavyweight feel with surfaces , showing some ultra light hairlines/the odd surface mark/one tiniest scratch ,located side 2 , last track . Visual is excellent, as these marks appear to disappear beneath its deep gloss. Sheen is very distinctive , and highly reflective and is a pleasure to view. Gorgeous!
(((Audio))) Vg/Ex
Just recently upgraded to a Project turntable and wow, this audio is out of this world. Absolutely Fantastic!!! Occasional surface noise but heard oh so distant ! Dynamic range of sound from the stereo perspective . The tinkering of tones and the exquisite layering effect, from this aural delivery, is sensational. So much imagery oozes from this stereo delivery .Tones are delivered exquisitely. For just one moment there are some light ticks from the afore mentioned tiny scratch ,located final track, side 2 ,during intro,so dips to vg at this point ,but that is that …can find nothing else to fault. Some static /crackle may be heard occasionally ,mainly between tracks and during the quieter parts of the music , but does not interfere with the general music presentation . This is quite normal from these vintage classics as they have been laying dormant for many years, so dust is still lifting from these grooves. Audio will improve with play/cleaning .Absolutely brilliant audio channels and very rare to locate in this condition . Engineered to the highest quality .
Comes complete with Viktor Khan poster. Has been pinned on the wall with consequent damage to corners . Seam split on lower edge of centrefold. Good+ condition. A fine example of a keen rock ‘n roll fan and his beloved poster, placed on a bedroom wall, years ago but lovingly folded away for posterity .
Fantastic collector’s package .
