Beautifully maintained second album from the Rolling Stones with hardly any surface marks visible from this highly polished vinyl . Thick quality pressing and will find difficult to match . Very carefully handled over the years . EX+ visual
Visual side 2 Virtually unmarked against ordinary light
side 1 Two longer hairlines. Odd surface under a strong light
Lightly played !
Labels
Ex with several spider lines observed
Inner Handling/playing text Poly lined 2 lateral seam splits.
First issue album sleeve with flip back reverse, Upton printed with the mega rare Blind man text , which was soon banned after it was deemed inappropriate and highly offensive so limited number printed . In wonderful ultra clean format as reverse face is better than most I have viewed. First issue sleeve with excellent pinched ended spine, displaying title clearly. One flip back is creased ,otherwise no damage.Front face has a corner crease. Very minor corner scuffs which have caused laminate to lift in two corners. Hardly visible . Faint ring wear only. EX- condition, and a beautiful example of this historic album cover .
Audio
Sensational with little to fault . At least very good and considerably better in some parts . Some light static heard at a distance occasionally where dust has laid in the grooves over the years.No distortion detected from this vintage recording which is quite rare, as these mono pressings were played with heavy stylii which caused massive groove wear and surface damage . This record is unscathed and in superb condition. Tones are delivered with a clear definition and has a tremendous depth of sound, rarely found on these vintage recordings .
