THE ROLLING STONES - Flowers
Mega Rare UK Stereo Export Pressing!!
On offer here is an extremely rare and hard to find UK Decca export copy of the Rolling Stones LP 'Flowers'.
Flowers was a US exclusive album that featured a compilation of their songs from 1965 to 1966. Despite being US exclusive, Decca in the UK pressed a tiny amount specifically for export.
There's a signature on the front cover in faded pen over Mick Jagger's flower stem. I don't think it's from a member of the band as I can't identify it, but just wanted to bring it to attention in case I've missed something.
Today these UK export copies are incredibly hard to find!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
Title Flowers Group The Rolling Stones Format Stereo Year of Release 1967 Catalogue Number SKL 4888 Label Blue Decca with unboxed logo Tax Code on Disc JT Sleeve Manufacturer Robert Stace Side 1 Matrix Number ZAL-7752-1W Side 2 Matrix Number ZAL-7753-1W Side 1 Stampers 1 / B(M?) Side 2 Stampers 1 / BI Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in VG condition. The sleeve is looking nice for its age but does have some wear and tear to it. The front has a lovely colour to it but has a fair amount of light creasing and some laminate wear and rubbing. There's a signature in faded red pen over Mick Jagger, but I don't think it's his. Seams are all holding fine with no splits or tears and the spine is good bar some creases running through it. Back cover has a few spots of discolouration and some rubbing. The mouth edge is looking a little worn and name have been written at the top left and right corners. Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in VG++ condition. The disc is looking really nice but does look like it would definitely benefit from a professional clean due to some smudges and fingerprints. The playing surface has a nice, crisp shine to it but does have a fair amount of light scuffing here and there. Nothing serious or nasty looking, however! Label Condition The labels are in EX+/NM- condition. Both labels are are looking stellar with just some very light, faint little spindlemarks on each side. Wonderful condition!
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.price rating
