Aftermath by The rolling stones. This is a 1st press on the UK red decca label with the K.T. tax code stamp on the run off groove on side 1 & 2 and upside down label on side 2. The Decca logo is unboxed. The matrix and mother stampers reads;
side 1. "XARL-7209-5B" and "1 K H"
side 2. "XARL-7209-5A" and "3B 1 H"
The sleeve features the very glossy laminated Clairifoil (made by British Celanese Limited) covering. This is a Robert Stace printed sleeve.

Condition
Sleeve-The sleeve is in really nice condition for it's age. The front has kept it's colour really well and the back is still quite clean. It retains it's original shape well with little to no damage to the corners. Unfortunately the bottom right corner has creased quite badly (but not seriously) at some point causing the laminate to lift. There are also some creases in the laminate covering. Overall the sleeve has survived very well over the years and is let down own by some marks and creasing.
Vinyl-The vinyl is covered in many surface marks and scratches. It would also benefit from a good clean. Despite it looking visualy quite bad I have played this record a few times over and never experianced any skips or jumps. Obviously it does pop and crackle a lot when played.

Please note I also have Out of our heads on 1st press listed as well.
