When The Rolling Stones released. In 1968, it was hailed as a masterpiece and the band’s finest effort. The album’s inner sleeve, photographed by Michael Joseph, pictured the band in full regalia in an immense castle. This book presents the entire collection of Joseph’s photographs, collected here in an oversize, beautifully printed volume. The book features an epigraph by Keith Richards and an original 10,000-word essay by Robert Greenfield, which describes the genesis of the record, producer Jimmy Miller, the legendary Olympic Studios where the album was recorded, and the mysterious mansion Sarum Chase, where the stunning interior photographs were taken. The photos of the opened book are from Number 104 with details are for illustration of the contents.
The sleeve is in excellent condition, some browning to the front and rear of the cover. No rips, splits or creases. The record is also in excellent condition, no nasty marks or scratches to the vinyl. I have pictured a couple small marks on side 1, these are very light and don’t affect play. Been professionally cleaned and played all the way through and there are no issues.
