Truly unbelievable gatefold sleeve . Excellent 3 D picture placed to perfection on middle of front face with the animation of the Stones figures operating in excellent style. Almost a perfect hologram and augments the value and the sheer quality of this album cover. Front face slightly bowed but does little to affect the beauty of this sleeve. Spine solid and square clearly showing title .NO feathering to opening edge .  Corners nice and pointed, just showing their grey tips and slightly curled. Lamination on outer faces very near perfect . Opens to beautiful stunning inner faces with psychedelic artistry , the strong coloration and unfaded reds and oranges enthuse an energetic punch when viewed with plenty of movement to the voyeur.

Vinyl-thick cut , heavy weight pressing-gives a buzz when held. Ultra clean and a pleasure to view. Very good +++/EX -  visual  with only a few unfeelable hairlines/surface marks on both sides caused by the brushing of the surfaces against the red inner sleeve. Fantastic polished sheen reflected from these vinyl surfaces. A stunning exhibit of this monumental first pressing . Absolutely amazing for a vintage Stones classic release.

AUDIO

Unbelievable tones . A First UK press with that extra loud cut engineering with gives that extra warm punch. The brass instrumentation is heard with a beautiful warm depth of sound. Each string on She’s A Rainbow is delivered with an individual clarity . The harpsichord strings are pure magic, conveyed with a sharp definition. The monotone perspective is delivered in sensational style with hardly any surface disturbance. Hardly any crackle/static detected, perhaps just once or twice during the quieter moments, but remains at a distance and does little to affect this superb excellent delivery. A couple of light scratches detected resulting in a couple of light ticks only.

NO distortion detected , and found so often on these early presses which were heavily played into submission, resulting in massive groove wear and surface damage. This audio is really special as the tones are projected away from any surface disturbance and are delivered with a razor sharp edge . The tones are sensational from this record , delivered with a pinpoint precision that only these early Mono recordings can convey. Superb aural delivery.

Without a doubt, one of the best examples of one of the rarest Stones classic album releases.

A high quality record , presented with a luxurious 3-D gatefold sleeve. Sheer investment quality and not to be missed .Will be hard pressed to locate a better example of this huge, Stones’ classic .

Shipped in quality mailers with two stiffeners and enveloped in polythene to prevent moisture contamination.
