CONDITION
DISC: This UK 1st pressing STEREO LP is visually in EXCELLENT+ condition. Both sides show full gloss, with only scattered hairlines. Both wide band Decca labels show only a couple of spindle trails. To find a 48-year-old Stones LP in this condition beggars belief.

COVER: The Garrod & Lofthouse International Limited-printed laminated gatefold cover is in EXCELLENT condition. Early versions of this cover are very difficult to find in NEAR MINT condition because the cream color shows the slightest flaw. This cover has some wear on the spine, an LP impression, age-toning, and some minor bumps. Overall, this cover is still very inviting.

INNER SLEEVE: The original Decca polythene-lined die-cut sleeve is in VERY GOOD condition, with age-toning and each seam taped for reinforcement. It's dated "10-68" and is a nice piece of provenance for the set.

GRADING INFORMATION
- I grade conservatively. MINT is a sealed LP; NEAR MINT is an open LP/cover
with virtually no signs of use/wear; EXCELLENT is a well-looked-after LP/cover
with light signs of use/wear; VERY GOOD+ is an LP/cover with average signs of
use/wear but is not trashed. - I use unforgiving sunlight and incandescent light to visually grade each LP.
- I don’t make unverifiable claims as to how many plays a non-sealed LP has had.
Please note: eBay's shipping cost is only an estimate and may not reflect actual shipping cost.
