Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SCARCE and CLEAN VINTAGE BRITISH DECCA !!!
FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND DECCA LABEL
The ROLLING STONES
"FLOWERS"
UK - DECCA RECORDS - SKL 4888 (stereo)
TOP CLEAN...\
FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND with original UK DECCA plastic lined inner sleeve
Original BRITISH late '60s issue with laminated front cover, a top selling album in the USA teen sceen!
For whatever reason, this LP was originally issued only in the USA and was NOT released in England until the later '60s (this copy)... The title refers to the album's cover, with flower stems underneath the portrait of each band member. Bassist Bill Wyman claims that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards deliberately arranged the stem of Brian Jones's flower so that it had no leaves, as a prank. The Stones photos are from the British version of Aftermath. The songs within either appeared as singles, or had been omitted from the American versions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons, and were collected from studio sessions dating back to 1965.
The 1966 released FLOWERS gathered stray tracks from the U.K. versions (non US tracks) and judged solely by the music, it's a great great album and stands as one of their most solid albums. "Lady Jane," "Ruby Tuesday," and "Let's Spend the Night Together" are all classics; the 1966 single "Mother's Little Helper," a Top Ten hit, is also terrific; and "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" making its first album appearance, is the early Stones at their most surrealistic and angst-ridden. A lot of the rest of the cuts rate among their most outstanding 1966-1967 work. "Out of Time" is hit-worthy in its own right (and in fact topped the British charts); "Backstreet Girl," with its European flavor, is one of the great underrated Stones songs ever. The same goes for the psychedelic Bo Diddley of "Please Go Home," and the acoustic, pensively sardonic "Sittin' on a Fence," with its strong Appalachian flavor. Almost every track is strong, so if you're serious about the Rolling Stones, don't pass this by. There's outstanding material you can't get anywhere else, and the album as a whole plays terrific from beginning to end.
