THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE VINYL IS IN ONLY IN GOOD CONDITION WITH LOADS OF MARKS, SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS AMAZING ALBUM - DEFINITELY ONE OF THE STONES’ BEST! THIS WAS THE SOUND OF 1968!! VIETNAM, ALTAMONT, HIPPIES & HELLS ANGELS!!

ON SIDE TWO THERE IS SOME CRACKLING WHICH STARTS TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK ONE AND PERSISTS INTO THE BEGINNING OF TRACK THREE.
