Back in 1981, when I owned a record store, I bought a few copies of these from the record distributor in the L.A. area who had acquired the remaining overstock of the 3-D photos/holograms (or whatever you want to call them).
Apparently, a few more were produced for London Records than were needed for their first print run of the Stones' 1967 album. These are the EXACT same 8" x 8" holograms that were glued to the cover of TSMR to make one of the most famous album covers of all-time.
It can be glued to a standard (2nd pressing and later) version of the vinyl album to make a "new" 3-D cover version of the album. I know it can -- I did it in 1981 several times using simple "airplane glue" or rubber cement. Now with stuff like Super Glue and other more modern adhesives, it should be even easier.
I glued the back and placed it carefully over the 2nd pressing sleeve photo and then put a thick phonebook (remember them) over the hologram to keep it in place. I could then put an additional weight on top of the phonebook to make sure the hologram stayed in place and dried evenly.
I'm a patient guy, so I waited two or three weeks until I was sure it was glued securely (completely dried). I never had a problem with them peeling off, sliding around, etc. I had probably done a better and more careful job than London Records did in 1967. Now you can too.
In near mint minus condition. Note a SMALL loose chip in the very lower left corner. There is also a small amount of excess dried glue around the edges used in the manufacturing process that seals the 3-D front to the white backing. This is typical. The amount of excess glue varies from photo to photo. Use the 'zoom" feature to examine the scans closely.
The item will be sent via USPS.
Shipping to U.S.: $5.50. No foreign buyers on this album.
