UK 1st Pressing

Ultra Rare 1st Press

Purple Shadow sleeve

LK 4786

1966

Here we have one of the rarest Rolling stones records ever!!!

This is the very first pressing of the Aftermath record, with the unboxed deep crimson red grooved Decca labels and the ULTRA RARE!!!! purple tinted shadow sleeve.

The shadow to the aftermath text was limited to only the very very first pressings of the sleeve!!! and was quickly replaced with standard non-shadow text that we all know.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this super rare very 1st Press LP

Matrix Numbers

Side 1 XARL-7209 5B

Side 2 XARL-7210 1A

The A at the end of the matrix refers to Guy Fletcher, and the B refers to Ron Mason. These were the Decca engineers who oversaw the pressing of each side!!!!

Sleeve

VERY RARE INDEED, This is the most sought after version of this sleeve and rarely comes up for sale. The "AFTER-MATH" lettering on the front has a purple shadow which only appears on a very small amount of these sleeves. The back of the sleeve also has the word "MONO" above the catalogue number and not next to it. The sleeve is front laminated which is not perfect because of some lift and creasing, but it is only minor, other wise ther are NO stickers, NO unwanted writing, NO stains and NO tears or seem splits. The spine is in great shape and is fully readable. The back of the sleeve is also in great shape withe No damage or ring wear, just some age foxing. All in all in great shape for a sleeve of 47 years old EXCELLENT+

Inner

Original white with blue text inner has no rips or tears. A bit of mild folding and the slightest discolouring to one edge but otherwise in EXCELLENT+++ condition

Labels

The iconic unboxed deep crimson red grooved Decca labels are in really nice condition, with no rips, tears or stains at all!! Under a strong halogen lamp you can see only a few very faint spindle marks!!! but it is clear to see that this record has not been played very much at all, which is such a rarity with any original Rolling Stones record!! There is no writing at all......as near as MINT!!! condition

Vinyl

By the naked eye there are no scratches to be seen at all. The record looks as near as MINT!!! condition it really does. It still retains its wonderful factory pressed shine and lustre. Under a strong halogen lamp. There are NO scratches and NO marks or blemishes!!!Only the odd very tiny faint line is visible!!!! It really is an astounding looking vinyl, that won’t disappoint The record is heavy and thick!!!! and is in as near as MINT!!! condition

Possibly the rarest withdrawn Rolling Stones records EVER!!!!!!

A True Rarity!!
