Description

An original 1st MONO press of HITS on UK Decca from XMas1966. Matrix 1A/4A. Please note importantly that the labels exhibit a Decca deep groove. If your copy doesn't have the deep groove then I'm afraid it is not a 1st pressing. Reissued a squillion times - but true 1st pressings come from Xmas1966 and have a very specific layout. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original MONO gatefold cover with photo pages stapled in. Format indicator should show on the spine ONLY for 1st issue. There should NOT be a peephole on the rear [these are late sixties copies]. The internal photo shot of Jagger is also laminated [not matt] - which you only find on the earliest copies. We also have the original inner from the time too. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex-/Vg+) In great condition and has only seen light to moderate use. Expect a good few very light marks per side, a couple of superficial trails - but seemingly nothing heavy or likely to impinge on the audio all that much. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly NEAREXCELLENT level of playback with a couple of deviations. Please be aware that these sixties 'hits' records are usually murdered by this point in time. Take 'Satisfaction' - for instance - this track is usually played to death. But I'm pleased to report that this much abused track is left very well preserved and more than capable of impressing.  "As Tears Go by" - plays with some light static as is common [it doesn't invade]. 'Lady Jane' plays much better than you typically find - with just a couple of crackles here and there. One isolated tick per side. Other than that I'd argue, for a true mono 1st, this represents a very fine rendition indeed. Highly recommended!
Cover (Vg+) In nice condition and has clearly been looked after. Excellent retention of colours and little sign of light fade. There's no lamination lift and just one tiny sticker removal mark top left on the front. And a small crease top left on the rear. Worth noting that the opening panel retains really good rigidity with a nice firm edge. The interior is looking smart with the photo pages still fully intact and attached. Edge wear is relatively minor. The spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Aged. Bag is present. No splits.
