THE ROLLING STONES

~ AFTERMATH ~

(1966 DECCA RECORDS - RARE UK MONO FIRST PRESSING!)

ON OFFER HERE IS A SUPERB & VERY RARE GENUINE FIRST MONO PRESSING OF THE WONDERFUL ALBUM AFTERMATH BY THE ROLLING STONES, HOUSED IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE 'PURPLE SHADOW COVER'! THESE PICTURE SLEEVES WITH THE PURPLE SHADOWING BEHIND THE WORD 'AFTER-MATH' ON THE FRONT WERE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN, PHASED OUT AND REPLACED WITH NON-SHADOW SLEEVES.  ONLY THE VERY EARLIEST FIRST PRESSINGS OF THIS CLASSIC STONES' ALBUM HAVE THE PURPLE SHADOWING.

• BILL WYMAN
• CHARLIE WATTS
• KEITH RICHARDS

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS DECCA LK 4786

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE XARL-7209-1B / XARL 7210-6A 

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH GENERAL WEAR, LOTS OF WRINKLES AND SOME DISCOLOURATION, NOTABLY TO THE BACK. ALL FOUR CORNERS HAVE MINOR BRUISING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS SCRIBBLED HIS NAME ON THE BACK TWICE! THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND THERE ARE NO TEARS. THERE IS ONLY ONE SMALL AREA OF LIGHT FEATHERING AT THE OPENING. THE TEXT ON THE NARROW SPINE IS ALL STILL LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL IS IN GOOD+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE PLENTY OF LIGHT MARKS & SCUFFS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED PLAYING THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS DETERIORATED. BOTH SIDES PLAYED THROUGH WITHOUT JUMPING OR SKIPPING BUT I NOTED FAIRLY PERSISTENT SURFACE NOISE, SOME CRACKLE AND CLICKS & POPS. I STILL ENJOYED THE LISTEN BUT PLEASE NOTE MY DESCRIPTION.

THE LABELS

THE GROOVED RED & SILVER DECCA LABELS, WITH THE UN-BOXED DECCA LOGOS & “FFRR EAR” LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH PLENTY OF LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS WRITTEN HIS NAME ON EACH LABEL.
