Aftermath is the fourth UK and sixth US studio album by The Rolling Stones and was released in 1966. The album proved to be a major artistic breakthrough for The Rolling Stones in that it was the first full-length release by the band to exclusively feature Mick Jagger/Keith Richards compositions.

The album is also notable for its musical experimentation, with Brian Jones - possibly inspired by George Harrisons use of sitar on The Beatles' Rubber Soul - playing a variety of instruments which feature prominently in each track, including the sitar on "Paint It Black", and the dulcimer on "Lady Jane" and "I Am Waiting".

Once again, two editions of the album were released. The first release of Aftermath appeared in April of 1966 as a fourteen-track long-player, and is considered by many to be the definitive version. Issued between the non-LP single releases of "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "Paint It, Black", Aftermath proved a big smash, spending eight weeks atop the UK charts.

In the US however, fourteen tracks was considered too many. With a substituted cover art, the American edition of Aftermath, released that June, features a subtly re-shuffled running order that eliminates "Out Of Time", "Take It Or Leave It" and "What To Do" (all later released in the US), while replacing "Mother's Little Helper" with current #1 hit "Paint It, Black". Despite compromising producer Andrew Loog Oldham's and The Rolling Stones' intentions for the album, the revamped Aftermath shot to #2 in the US, eventually going platinum. In 2002, the US edition of Aftermath was ranked number 108

1. "Mother's Little Helper" – 2:45
2. "Stupid Girl" – 2:55

10. "It's Not Easy" – 2:56
11. "I Am Waiting" – 3:11
12. "Take It or Leave It" – 2:47
13. "Think" – 3:09
14. "What to Do" – 2:32

The vinyl

On initial visual inspection i can't see a blemish!!! This lays perfectly flat on the turntable!!!! This is the original THICKER and deeper grooved type of vinyl only found on original early pressings later pressings were much more flimsier and less robust. In very strong light any marks that could be seen would have been caused by the vinyl being slid in and out of its record sleeve. I CAN NOT SEE ANY!!!!  I can ( not) see any needle scratches or marks that would OR INDEED effect the play at all!!!! NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE FROM THIS VINYL!!!!

I have played this vinyl as usual and the audio is awesome, cristal clear and vibrant all of the way through, Please note i heard (no) clicks or pops during the play of this vinyl and also (no) background noise which is so common on these early pressings!!! This is so rare to find like this and in this condition. The audio on this very rare vinyl will be hard to surpass and I rate this audio at the VERY VERY top on all frequencies!!!!

There is (no) clicks pops certainly (no) jumps or skips or any signs of grooveware or that this vinyl has been overplayed at all IN FACT THIS LOOKS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED!!!!!!!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! That I have given my honest opinion when describing the audio quality of this vinyl. and have played irt through track for track. Although i never heard any problems what so ever, Please allow for the odd static tick here and there (not) consistant through out the audio!!! Remember this is an original (not) a reissue that is 41 years old and would have been played on a system that is 41 years old!! Please look at my completed listings of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right!!!!!

The audio is graded at the top!!!!
