An original 1st UK mono press by Deçca. Highly collectable and highly desirable. Make note of the label design with small’s’ floating at the edge. This is earliest availabke design. He vinyl comes housed in an original cover with peephole. Why is this significant? Because it proves you are looking at a 1st issue cover. Vinyl (Ex-/vg+) In really nice condition and has only seen relatively light use. Under close inspection I could make out a couple of light marks per side and a couple of visible but surface level scuff trails. Nothing heavy or Particularly troublesome. Please make sure you are someone who can handle a couple of visible marks. If you are not sure… Probably better move onto the next one. Let me assure you the marks are superficial and do not feature much in the audio. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an at least NearExcellent level of playback with a couple of deviations per side. Those marks are light enough and the grooves deep enough that we are not talking a big issue. Expect a couple of ticks in a couple of spots. Yes this copy is a great little player. Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with excellent clarity. Crank it all the way up and it will keep delivering! A keeper for sure.. All i can detect is a touch of light backgrojnd in a coulle of the quitest moments. The audio really is very smart. Cover (Vg+) In very smart condition with clean surfaces front and rear. Except for one blemish at foot on rear And a small inscription. At worst one small thumbnail. Slight edge wear in the odd spot and firm openings. The spine is in really good order with minimal wear – just a couple of stress creases. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. Please check out my other STONES LP’s for sale..
