FLOWERS  
STEREO
THIS IS A RARE ALBUM FOR EXPORT ONLY, UK 1ST PRESS STEREO, WITH UNBOXED DECCA LABELS, AND WITH EARLIEST -1W / -1W, IN THE RUN OFFS !!!!
FIRSTLY IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS ALBUM IS, THEN I CAN TELL YOU IT WAS MADE FOR EXPORT ONLY, AND NOT ORIGINALLY FOR THE UK, AND WAS RELEASED IN JUNE 1967. IT IS THEIR SECOND COMPILTION ALBUM, AND HAS SONGS RECORDED BACK TO 1965, AND ALSO THREE TRACKS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN RELEASED !!!! VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND UK 1st PRESS UNBOXED STEREO, AS IT WAS ONLY RELEASED MUCH LATER IN THE UK IN THE MID 1970's, AND THEN ON THE BOXED DECCA LABEL, SO YET ANOTHER VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY PERSONAL TREASURED VINYL COLLECTION 


THIS IS THE ROLLING STONES WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE REST OF THEIR STORY !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS :: ZAL-7752-1W  :: ZAL-7753-1W .
PRESSED OF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS  :: 1 C  ::  1 C .

ON THE 2nd VERSION 1ST PRESS GROOVED BLUE UNBOXED DECCA LABEL  ::  SLK. 4888 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED SKL 4888 PRINTED TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE FRONT, AND TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE BACK, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE. THE SPINE AND EDGES HAVE NO RUB, BUT DO HAVE SOME WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, SOME LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE, AND SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING, BUT DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, AND I THINK IT IS BEST TO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS, AS THIS WILL GIVE YOU A MUCH BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ . VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO JUMPS, SKIPS, STICKS, POPS, CLICKS, STATIC, OR CRACKLE, AND DUE TO HOW RARE THIS VINYL IS I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION. SO ALL I HEARD WAS... ON SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK AFTER THE START, AND ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END . TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION, JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE . TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION. ON SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: JUST TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE END . TRACK 2 :: ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK AT THE END . TRACK 3 :: ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END . ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 4 :: HAS SOME FAINT TICKS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRACK . TRACK 5 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START . TRACK 6 :: TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START SIX FAINT TICKS JUST BEFORE THE MIDDLE, THEN ON THE SECOND HALF THERE ARE SOME LIGHT TICKS . SO THERE ARE SOME TICKS AS DESCRIBED, WHICH ARE NOT INTRUSIVE, BUT CAN BE HEARD, BUT NOTHING NASTY, AND REALLY IT IS THE FIRST HALF OF TRACK 4 AND TRACK 6, ON SIDE 2 WITH A BIT MORE GOING ON.  VISUALLY, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL AND TINY COSMETIC HAIRLINES. THERE IS ALSO A SHADOW THIN SCUFF LINE ACROSS SIDE 2, WHICH IS ONLY SEEN WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY SO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THERE IS A SMALL THIN SCUFF LINE ON THE FIRST HALF OF TRACK 4 AND ANOTHER ON THE SECOND HALF OF TRACK 6 ON SIDE 2, WHICH ARE VERY, VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE, BUT DO CAUSE THOSE TICKS AS MENTIONED ABOVE. SO TO SUM UP THE AUDIO...PLAYS WELL, NOTHING INTRUSIVE BUT THERE ARE SOME FAINT AND LIGHT TICKS AS DESCRIBED, AND VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT SOME COSMETICS WHICH HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. TOUGH ONE TO AUDIO GRADE SO I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE.... ALL OF SIDE 1, AND TRACK 1, TRACK 2, TRACK 3, AND TRACK 5, ON SIDE 2, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  EX . TRACK 4, ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  VG+. TRACK 6 ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  VG/VG- . SO A VERY DIFFICULT AUDIO GRADE, BUT AS ALWAYS I HAVE BEEN AS HONEST AS I POSSIBLY CAN, NOT FOR THE PERFECTIONIST, BUT IT PLAYS WELL WITH NOTHING SERIOUS, AND IS A VERY RARE VINYL !!!!
LABELS ::  GREAT CONDITION, JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE  :: EX .

POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO SPLITS OR WRITING, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: VG+ .
YET ANOTHER STONES CLASSIC, AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN AND READ, PLAYS REALLY WELL, AND IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND READ THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN IT ARRIVES !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
