Vinyl:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 147g
VG+.
 The vinyl is wonderfully FLAT & SHINY.
Following a gentle professional vacuum clean, I popped her onto my Focus One deck and turned her up! I wasn't dissapointed at all...The audio was clean and clear with deep bass and clear highs. I noticed very little background noise-nothing at all to impact on the enjoyment of listeniung to this classic *HAND-CLAPPING FINE* album at all...It brough a big smile to my face.
Visually there are around 8 scuff marks to side 1, with side 2 appearing a lot cleaner with only light marks to her....These did not register on playback.
PURE QUALITY AUDIO

Cover:
EX-.
Yep, the original and later banned "BLIND MAN" text cover.
This cover has stood the test of time incredibly well....The front laminated image is in GREAT condition with rich colours and just a few lines of spidering to the laminate-near the opening.
The back, bottom flip[back looks to have been re-glued at some point, but remains solid.
NO SPLITS
"Printed In England By James Upton Ltd. Birmingham & London"
bottom left corner text to the back.
Early pressing cover.

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES AND READ MY CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FOR HONEST GRADINGS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Labels:
VG+.
The labels are gorgeously deep red in colour and has the all important UNBOXED DECCA. Spindle marks are visible when angled to the light, with almost zero central hole wear! A very nice example indeed.
This is probably the earliest label used on No.2 as it has the short top text with just "MADE IN ENGLAND". All labels made during the end of 1965 and later have the long top text.
No publishing info below the Rolling Stones at 6 O'Clock either.
NO WRITING.
Deep CLEAN AND CLEAR groove.

Inner:
EX.
 It is the original DECCA poly-lined inner. .
"MADE IN ENGLAND"
ALL ORIGINAL.

ALL IN ALL AN ALL ORIGINAL EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC STONES LP, WITH THE 1ST PRESSING LAMINATED COVER AND ORIGINAL INNER.
WOULD FRAME WELL OR MAKE A SOLID ADDITION FOR ANY COLLECTOR.
