ATTENTION THE ROLLING STONES AND ORIGINAL 1960s BEAT/PROGRESSIVE/PSYCHEDELIC ROCK COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 1ST STEREO ISSUE OF THE ROLLING STONES ALBUM: "BIG HITS(HIGH TIDE AND GREEN GRASS)" WITH THE DECCA UNBOXED WIDEBAND LOGO LABELS:TXS 101 WITH P-4W/P-4W MATRIXES.
IN 1966 HARDLY ANY ROLLING STONES FANS WERE BUYING THIS LP IN STEREO.THE MAJORITY WERE MADE AND SOLD IN MONO.MANY DEALERS ONLY OBTAINED THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER. MOST STEREO COPIES THAT DID SELL WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT OR MONO EQUIPMENT IN ERROR. HARDLY ANY STEREO COPIES SURVIVE AS OUTSTANDING AS THIS EXAMPLE!
IT HAS THE BLUE BORDERS STEREO INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST PRINTED FOR THIS PRESSING! THE COVER STILL HAS THE FIXED PHOTOS BOOKLET AND THE MONO/STEREO DIE CUT HOLE WHICH WAS ENDED AT THE END OF 1970 WHEN THE MONO VERSIONS WERE NO LONGER MADE! LATER COVERS HAVE NO DIE CUT HOLE AND NATURALLY NO MONO OPTION CREDIT!
THE DISC IS SERIOUSLY AND STRICTLY GRADED EXCELLENT+++++++ CONDITION WITH A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.NO CLICKS AND NO STICKS OR JUMPS.
THE ORIGINAL "BLUE BLOCKS" STEREO INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS A COUPLE OF TINY TEARS AND SOME CREASES BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS! THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER,INNER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
