From a portion of the Wikipedia review: Aftermath was released April 1966 by Decca Records, is the fourth British studio album by the Rolling Stones. It was released in the United States in June 1966 by London Records as their sixth American album. The album is considered an artistic breakthrough for the band...   The Stones deliver a disk of 100% Jagger-Richard original material, which also defined the Stones as THE bad boys of rock with their contemptuous attitude toward the world and females.   This Aftermath disk hasn't had but a dozen or so plays before being stored away for what turned out to be nearly fifty years. It's now back out of the closet and in the daylight. Listed on eBay right here means you can bid/offer/buy it RIGHT NOW on eBay.     The  jacket is still like new, with the shrink film protection it gets an NM-minus grade.  Close up photos of the corner and open end give you an idea of how well preserved this is. Only the slightest abrasion of the corners at the open end of the film cause us to rate this on the MINUS side of NM (We tend to rate conservatively so there are no unhappy surprises on either side).   The vinyl is NM-minus in quality, both sides.  The minus is because there are a number of very very light scuffs (I'll call them whisps). These can hardly be seen except at just the right reflective angle with strong light. There is a small scallop on the periphery which, upon magnified exam, appears it could be a manufacturing blemish (as opposed to damage). The disk label is flat and without any blistering   Inner sleeve is paper with the recognizable London Records Group artwork on both sides (no marketing catalog images!). It does have a crease split of 3" on one side and 1" at the bottom but is otherwise in perfect shape.  None of the printing or paper is faded or yellowed.  No stains or markings, folds, wrinkles or tears.   Send us your questions early if you need info on a specific. Delayed  questions may not get answered before listing ends.

About your eBay SHOPPING CART... Why use the eBay SHOPPING CART?   The SHOPPING CART helps you to keep track of items you're buying. You can combine items from MULTIPLE SELLERS and pay ONE easy payment at CHECKOUT. Faster and easier! Using a SHOPPING CART is a REQUIREMENT to take advantage of most Combined PURCHASE/SHIPPING Discount plans and offers. How much TIME do I have to SHOP when I use the eBay SHOPPING CART?   Usual policy requires payment for ordinary purchases in your CART within TWO DAYS. If you're taking advantage of a Seller's COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT (or other DISCOUNT) plan, you're allowed a period of 7, 14 or even 30 days to acquire items in your cart to combine for the Discount. Seller DISCOUNT PLANS are valid for their store only. PAY ATTENTION when shopping with several SELLERS whose time periods run different lengths - you'll need to CHECKOUT when the clock runs out on the Seller with the shortest "In-Store Shopping Period" to avoid losing the discount. Are items in my CART reserved for me?   FIXED-PRICE (BUY-IT-NOW) items will be available to OTHER BUYERS until they're paid for. An item may possibly sell out before you CHECKOUT, but items you WON either by AUCTION or BEST OFFER are Reserved for YOU. Why are AUCTION or BEST OFFER items in my cart?   Some items appear in your CART because you've committed to buy them (such as items WON by AUCTION, or YOU made the BEST OFFER). These items will be saved in your CART until you pay. Where can I see the items I'm BIDDING on?  You can see your active AUCTIONS at any time - just go to My eBay. Only AUCTIONS that you've WON will show up in your CART. If I buy from different SELLERS, how do I pay?  YOU can pay for the whole CART with a single payment IF each SELLER accepts your payment method (for example: if all SELLERS accept PayPal. If you're purchasing items from SELLERS with different payment requirements, YOU may need to CHECKOUT separately for each payment method. Can I pay multiple SELLERS and/or different transactions types (AUCTION; BUY-IT-NOW; and BEST-OFFER) in ONE PAYMENT?   If the different SELLERS of items in your SHOPPING CART all accept PayPal, you can pay for the eBay SHOPPING CART with a single PayPal payment. You can also pay for different types of transactions (AUCTION; BUY-IT-NOW; and BEST-OFFER) with a single PayPal payment.   VISUAL GRADING SCALE WE USE (M) Mint - The record is in factory-new condition. Absolutely perfect in all respects, with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. NOTE: Age of the album has nothing to do with its "grade". The jacket and any extra items like inserts, etc. are verified present and in perfect condition. Records advertised as "Sealed" should be Mint. Those classified "Unplayed" but opened must be validated as meeting "untouched by human hands" status. Even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.

(NM) Near Mint - A nearly perfect record in every respect. It should exhibit no obvious signs of wear. The vinyl is bright and shiny. A minor scuff or two is permissible but no scratches. The jacket should have no more than the most minor of defects, such as almost invisible ring impression or other minimal signs of slight handling. There should be no folds or seam splits, corner crushes anywhere, or other noticeable similar defects. Artwork should be as close to perfect (without defect or age deterioration) as possible. Similar criteria applies to the inner sleeve also. No CUT-OUT holes, either, in any of the parts comprising the album. An LP in Near Mint condition looks as if you just bought it NEW, brought it home from the record store and opened the shrink wrap.

(EX) Excellent -(or VG++) The record shows some signs of having been played. Some minor paper scuffs may be present. A very light, difficult to visually detect hairline scratch or two may permissible, but nothing that is significant enough to effect the quality of play. The vinyl is bright and shiny and without warps. The label clean and unblemished. The jacket may have slight circular disc impression but no ink wear, or may have slight corner creases, no wrinkles or puckers, seam splits, or writing anywhere on the label, jacket, or sleeve. Artwork should be clean and unworn and without ink wear. No taped repairs can be allowed in this grade. No CUT-OUT holes, either, in any of the parts comprising the album.

(VG+) Very Good PLUS - The record show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner, who took good care of it. Vinyl still has great luster but the record surfaces may show signs of wear visible to the naked eye. May have slight scuffs or very light scratches as long as they don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Spindle hole should be round and not significantly worn. The jacket (and sleeve) must be clean and free from stains. Small writing or marking is acceptable. The back of the jacket usually gives away clues to the albums age. Flat white areas will be somewhat off-white in the yellow cast, yet no stains or mildew from moisture are present. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes through. The corners may be slightly dog eared (fraying) yet no creased bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ jacket should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

(VG) Very Good -This is a record that is GOOD ENOUGH, meaning it's not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. The vinyl will not have the deep black luster of NM grade. The record will have been played many times, and there will always be some surface noise. Despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch, the record should exhibit no major deterioration of dynamic range and sound quality, overpowering the surface noise. There should be no skips. The label may exhibit some tears, tape marks, larger writing, or other blemishes but should still be very easily legible. There may be some wear or deformation of the spindle hole. The jacket will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting. There will be some ring wear, where the jacket art ink has begun to wear off (this gives the jacket a look of being "snow-speckled" where the white paper shows through the worn ink). If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the jacket (still, no LARGE letters in felt tip marker). There may be corner crushing or creasing, or gouges or scratches blemishing the jacket art. Colors will not have the saturation and an overall yellowish cast may be present as a sign of age deterioration.

(G) Good - An often-played, with a less lustrous, grayer vinyl. Deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise. The record will still play through without any skips. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged. On the jacket, several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.

(F) Fair - The record has been played so often and mishandled so much that the sound quality has completely deteriorated. Deeper scratches, wear and skips cause continuous, major distracting "surface noise". These disks are basically trash and only useful as inexpensive "placeholders" in a collection until a better quality item comes along. The jacket and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. The jacket at this grade level is typically held together with tape to keep the disc from falling out. Again, basically trash.

On a scale from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Perfect) the above grades are equal to:
MINT = 10, Near Mint = 8, Excellent = 7, Very Good Plus = 6 , Very Good = 5 , Good = 2
