FROM THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION:
THE ROLLING STONES / "OUT OF OUR HEADS" 1965 UK 1st press Decca MONO LP  Matrices: ARL-6973-10B & ARL-6974-9A Mother/Stampers: 1/BG & 4/CM See this LP in HIGH-RESOLUTION photos
CONDITION

DISC: This UK 1st pressing MONO LP is visually in NEAR MINT condition, and I struggle to find any sign of use. Please keep in mind that NEAR MINT is my highest grade for an opened LP. Brand-new "audiophile" vinyl often has more surface imperfections than this 51-year-old LP has. Both Decca labels show only a couple of spindle trails. This LP is in remarkable condition.

COVER: The Robert Stace-printed front-laminated cover is in EXCELLENT+ condition. The delicate cover has some half-moon laminate creases, age-toning, and a few small bumps. Some of the laminate has lifted near the spine, but this is, after all, a 51-year-old pinched-spine cover, making such an outcome almost inevitable. The back side is nearly flawless. Overall, this cover is beautiful and compliments the LP.

INNER SLEEVE: The original Decca polythene-lined die-cut sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition, with only the seams reinforced with adhesive tape long ago, but they have no splits.

GRADING INFORMATION I grade conservatively. MINT is a sealed LP; NEAR MINT is an open LP/cover
with virtually no signs of use/wear; EXCELLENT is a well-looked-after LP/cover
with light signs of use/wear; VERY GOOD+ is an LP/cover with average signs of
use/wear but is not trashed. I use unforgiving sunlight and incandescent light to visually grade each LP. I don’t make unverifiable claims as to how many plays a non-sealed LP has had.   SHIPPING
