K/T tax codes clearly etched into run off grooves.

Red /white inner cloud sleeve reflects a glorious scarlet coloration, completely unfaded with just minor creasing with NO rips or tears. Slight nick only on opening edge. Miniscule seam split on one edge only-hardly visible! ! Excellent  condition . Awesome deep red coloration .

3 D hologram opening gatefold sleeve in fantastic condition. Laminated with a full glossy sheen with a vivid and vibrant coloration. Excellent 3 d picture placed to perfection on middle of front face with the animation of the Stones figures operating in excellent style. Almost a perfect hologram save for a surface scratch but does not detract from the sheer quality of this album cover.. Spine solid and square clearly showing title .NO feathering to opening edge . Maze has been artistically followed in biro but I have only just noticed this and does not appear obtrusive,  hardly noticeable. Corners nice and pointed. Lamination on outer faces very near perfect with just the slightest of lifting towards top left corner . Opens to beautiful stunning inner faces with psychedelic artistry , the strong coloration and unfaded reds and oranges enthuse an energetic punch when viewed with plenty of movement to the voyeur.

Running ones fingers across reverse face confirms an exceptional smooth and tight laminated finish, feeling almost new and factory fresh! Excellent+ condition and a pleasure to view . Will not find much better than this . TXL103 printed clearly on reverse face. Later editions had a stickered mono credit covering the stereo print on the reissued mono versions. This album sleeve in itself, is worth a fortune and is sheer investment quality. THE original and the earliest mono 3 D gatefold sleeve. So rare to locate in this excellent condition.

Vinyl-thick cut , heavy weight pressing-gives a buzz when held. Ultra clean and a pleasure to view. Very good +++  visual  with only a few unfeelable hairlines/surface marks on both sides caused by the brushing of the surfaces against the red inner sleeve. Fantastic polished sheen reflected from these vinyl surfaces. No scratches and a stunning exhibit of this monumental first pressing. Absolutely amazing for a vintage Stones classic release.

AUDIO

Unbelievable tones . A First UK press with that extra loud cut engineering with gives that extra warm punch. The brass instrumentation is heard with a beautiful warm depth of sound. Each string on She’s A Rainbow is delivered with an individual clarity . The harpsichord strings are pure magic, conveyed with a sharp definition. The monotone perspective is delivered in sensational style with hardly any surface disturbance. Hardly any crackle/static detected, perhaps just once or twice during the quieter moments, but remains at a distanceand does little to affect this superb excellent delivery.

NO distortion detected , and found so often on these early presses which were heavily played into submission, resulting in massive groove wear and surface damage. This audio is really special as the tones are projected away from any surface disturbance and are delivered with a razor sharp edge . The tones are sensational from this record , delivered with a pinpoint precision that only these early Mono recordings can convey. Mostly clear channels and will not disappoint. Excellent aural delivery and will be hard pressed to find a better audio from this release.

Without a doubt, one of the best examples of one of the rarest Stones classic album releases.

A high quality record , presented with a luxurious 3-d gatefold sleeve. Sheer investment quality and not to be missed .Will be hard pressed to locate a better example of this huge, Stones’ classic .

Shipped in quality mailers with two stiffeners and enveloped in polythene to prevent moisture contamination.
