*LOVELY EARLY PRESSING HERE*

The Vinyl:
VG
(Visually VG-)
134g
She carries many light marks to both sides. I have just listened to all of her-as I do with all my vinyl I sell-and WOW...it sounds like the Stones at their raw best!
Strangely: Very little background noise, even with all the light marks-GREAT QUALITY!....These albums, when first pressed, were made to a much higher standard than later pressings, making them able to take more abuse than normal...And this baby is testiment to that!
NO JUMPS/SKIPS OR STICKS
EVEN THE FADE INS AND OUTS BETWEEN TRACKS ARE LOVELY AND QUIET.
She is lovely and flat-a real beauty to listen to and hear the start of something which would become huge!
THE SONGS STILL SOUND DEEP, RICH AND FULL OF BODY!

The labels:
VG(+).
They are clear, but with spindle marks visible..Please see the detailed images for yourselves.
Side 1 has the rarer "MONA" track credit for song 3-this was later changed to the correct "I Need You Baby" (however, DJ's back then still used to refer to the track as Mona).
HOWEVER-that is not the most unusual thing about this ppressing....There has been a factory mistake, with BOTH SIDES having the side 1 labels and BOTH having the MONA credit!...I'll bet you can't fin another like this one!
As you can see in the images provided: the side 2 label has the first track crossed out and written King Bee, so they could tell which side they were playing.
VERY RARE & UNUSUAL


The Sleeve:
VG(+)
 It remains intact and free from rips/tears or writing. There are some spidering areas to the laminate. No fading to the front picture-lovely and deep in colour. The back card is a little discoloured, but nothing terrible at all-please see the photo.
McNeill PRINTED COVER.
THE 3rd (CORRECTED) PRINTING OF THIS ICONIC COVER.
DOES have the 'Mono' to the back top right corner.
NO WRITING

STRONG CORNERS AND VERY STRONG SPINE TOO.
Again, please see the detailed images.
