WOW!! What an absolute pleasure it was to listen to. Great sound reproduction TURN IT UP!!!
She has some very light marks to her but certainly NOTHING to affect the wonderful playback. I found two tiny, TINY skims, rather than skips, to track 1 side 1 and track 1, side 2...right at the very start...Just use a slightly heavier stylus than mine and there won't be a problem.
(I have recorded track 1, side 1 so you can listen for yourselves)
Only light background noise-evident  inbetween tracks, which would be severely reduced with a professional clean...(I am trying to save up for a VPI machine!)
FLAT
**GORGEOUS-WHAT A SHEEN**

Labels: EX. Gorgeous deep Blue UNBOXED DECCA STEREO labels....RARE!
NO WRITING!
Light hole wear, with light spindle marks
(please see the detailed photo's)
As usual for the 1st pressings, Richards credit is misspelt as "Richard."
An excellent example.
NOW then....The really special thing about this VERY EARLY 1ST pressing, is the absence of the DECCA groove. This groove was faded out by 1968.
The label also has the side number to the left of the spindle hole on both sides...VERY 1ST PRESSING.


Cover: EX-. Gatefold white/cream cover with gold bordering. There are a couple of lines of spidering to the front and back laminate. With some fingers of spidering eminating from the spine, as well as the spine being a tad crushed.
NO SPLITS
NO TEARS
NO WRITING
I AM BEING VERY CRITICAL
PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADINGS
It really is a lovely cover-Not having much (if any) fading to the colour lightly worn corners and vibrant inner picture.
All in all a superb cover.
To show it is a 1ST PRINITNG it has:
"SLEEVE PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED PATENTS PENDING"

Inner: EX+!  Poly lined and SUPERB! It really has done it's job in keeping this record in tip-top condition.
ALL ORIGINAL INNER
"STEREOPHONIC RECORD"
printed in pink-not many of these were released with the DECCA label which makes this even more rare.
"Made In England.....Foreign Patents Pending"

Track listing:
Sympathy for the Devil
No Expectations
Dear Doctor
Parachute Woman
Jigsaw Puzzle
******************
Street Fighting Man
Prodigal Son
Stray Cat Blues
Factory Girl
Salt of the Earth

All in all a very nice copy of the first pressing of this wondeful album.
1/1 MOTHERS
COMPLETE
AND sounds great too!
TURN HER UP
(I am starting the auction at asensible price for this beauty-If it doesn't sell, I am VERY happy to keep her!)
