Story & Background
This 1st press DECCA of "Aftermath" (1966) is an artefact that marks the compositional maturity of The Rolling Stones. Its distinctive feature lies in the absence of "Paint It Black": unlike the American edition (London Records) which opened with it, this DECCA UK pressing excludes it. The track had in fact been released as a standalone single in the United Kingdom shortly before the album.
This editorial decision, intended by the band and producer Andrew Loog Oldham for the domestic market, makes your copy a valuable historical document. It reveals the distinct record strategies and the different public perceptions between Europe and America, increasing its value for the collector.
