Story & Background
This 1966 copy, an authentic 1st pressing DECCA, evokes an era when The Rolling Stones were consolidating their dominance on the British charts. For collectors, the UK version of "Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)" is legendary not only for its essential tracklist, but above all for its cover, a true design gem of the era. The first stereo pressings (TXS 101) were indeed housed in an innovative lenticular gatefold sleeve. This rare and fascinating technology allowed for the display of three different images of the band depending on the viewing angle, creating a surprising "3D" effect, very advanced for 1966. A detail that makes it a highly sought-after piece and a testament to the aesthetic audacity that Decca and The Stones dared to flaunt, well beyond just the music, consolidating its status as a valuable collector's item.
