COLLECTORS WELCOME
RECORD CONDITION: MINTThe album is still sealed in its original packaging. It has never been opened, never been used, never been handled. The album sleeve is perfectly flat with no concern for bending or warping.RECORD SLEEVE:... NEAR MINTWere it not for these minor flaws, I think it could be considered mint:front cover, bottom left-hand side: small crease (less than an inch) that’s barely noticeable and slight enough that it does not effect the edge or backside;front cover, left-hand side, mid-section: a faint thin scuff mark on the exterior plastic wrap only; no effect on the album’s actual cover; no break in the plastic, only mark.front cover, top right side: near the word “Electronically” you can see in the pictures that the plastic wrap looks a little puckered/wrinkled, but the plastic is still flat — it is not puffed out — and the seal is not compromised by it; it is merely a minor aesthetic flaw with the original shrink-wrap, which you’ll remember is 50+ year old at this point.Other than what I have described above, there are no other imperfections that I can see after close scrutiny. The album is in impressive condition for its age. Notably, there are:No splits in the sealNo major creases or indentsNo cut-out (drill) holesNo saw-marks or indentsNo stickers or labels or tape marks No wax residue or leftover glue residueNo writing or markings or paint drops, etcNo warping or water damage of any kindNo discoloration from light damage or other environmental impactsNo warping or water damage of any kind PLEASE REFERENCE PHOTOS CLOSELY FOR ACCURATE VIEW OF ALBUM'S CONDITION. Please Note: Even if the lighting in some of the pictures makes it look like there might be a slight split in the plastic, I assure you that is only the optical effects of the light against/through the shrink-wrap. I’ve thoroughly scrutinized the outer plastic wrap and I guarantee the seal is still intact. Should you want to see additional photographs, I am happy to provide them upon request.

BRIEF DISCOGRAPHY:
The evolution from blues to rock accelerated with the Rolling Stones' second American LP. They turned soul into guitar rock for the hits "It's All Over Now" and "Time Is on My Side" (the latter of which was their first American Top Ten single). "2120 South Michigan Avenue" is a great instrumental blues-rock jam; "Around and Around" is one of their best Chuck Berry covers; and "If You Need Me" reflects an increasing contemporary soul influence.
