FLOWERS

AS RARE AS HENS TEETH !!!!

THIS IS A MEGA RARE 1967 UK STEREO 1ST PRESS :: -1W  ::  -1W .

ON THE UNBOXED BLUE STEREO DECCA LABEL :: SKL.4888.

AMAZING EARLY STAMPERS :: 1 M  ::  1 A .

WITH 1ST PRESS LABELS, WITH (a) mirage music AND 'GEMMA' TO THE FAR LEFT OF THE LABEL ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO )

Flowers was issued on July 15th 1967 in Europe and not in the uk !!!  

Flowers is again one of the odd birds in the UK catalogue. The LP was actually not sold in UK until mid 70's and then with a boxed label, It was initially made in the UK for export to Europe with the unboxed label, which is the one listed below.  It did not really sell that good either, which makes this a very rare an highly sought after Stones album !!!! 

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH ONLY A BIT OF LIGHT RUB ON TOP EDGE IN ONE PLACE, AND OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WRAP AROUND TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES ALONG THE SPINE EDGE, WITH A TINY BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT. THERE IS A SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINE IN TOP LEFT CORNER. THE BACK HAS A SMALL RED STICKER ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) AND SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AROUND THE EDGES. A VERY NICE ORIGINAL 'STEREO SKL 4888' COVER, AND I WOULD GRADE :: VG/VG+ .  IT IS A LOT NEARER VG+ !!!VINYL :: FIRSTLY THE AUDIO PLAYS THROUGH VERY NICE WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, LOUD POPS OR ANYTHING INTRUSIVE, WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD START. THERE ARE HOWEVER THREE THIN LONG SCUFF LINES AND A LONG FINE NEEDLE LINE ON SIDE 1:: I CAN ASSURE YOU THESE ARE UNFELABLE AND DO DISAPPEAR WHEN YOU ANGLE THE VINYL A CERTAIN WAY. APART FROM THOSE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW FINE HAIRLINES AND QUITE A LOT OF SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SEEN MORE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. VISUALLY I WOULD GRADE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: VG- . BUT PLEASE DO NOT LET THE VISUAL PUT YOU OFF THIS RARE ALBUM.

THE AUDIO HAS AS MENTIONED ABOVE NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS, BUT THERE IS SOME BACKGROUND STATIC IN PLACES, HEARD IN QUIETER PARTS. THERE ARE TWO QUIET TRACKS WHERE THE STATIC CAN BE HEARD A LITTLE MORE, BUT IT IS NOT INTRUSIVE AND DOES NOT SPOIL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE. THERE IS ALSO THE OCCASSIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND TICK BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TRACKS THAT PLAY WELL, AND IT IS MOSTLY IN THE QUIETER PARTS THAT YOU CAN HEAR THE ABOVE MENTIONED STATIC AND LIGHT TICKS. I HAVE BEEN AS HONEST AS I CAN, AND IT REALLY IS A VERY GOOD ALBUM TO LISTEN TO, AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND NOT ONCE WAS THERE ANYTHING REALLY INTRUSIVE, SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: VG/VG+ . A VERY ENJOYABLE ALBUM !!!

  LABELS ::   SPOTLESS WITH ONLY A FEW SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL INNER :: NO PROBLEMS :: VG+/EX- .

VERY RARE UNBOXED DECCA EXPORT ALBUM. THE VINYL IS NOT THE PRETTIEST UNDER BRIGHT LGHT BUT THERE ARE NO SERIOUS AUDIO PROBLEMS AND IT PLAYS THROUGH VERY NICE, AND IS STILL VERY ENJOYABLE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AS HONEST AS I POSSIBLY CAN. THIS IS ONE RARE ALBUM NOT TO MISS !!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
