Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
Decca Gramophone Company (NZ)
Cat# GOLD 38
Matrix code Side A: (etched) GOLD 38A
Matrix code Side B: (etched) GOLD 38B
New Zealand release
This release is special because, unlike other releases of this single, the B Side song is NOT Long Long White but Honky Tonk Woman
Record label face has Made In New Zealand clearly printed on both sides and its country of manufacture is supported by the matrix codes
Generic Decca cover is in condition, but note the cover is the Australian printed version. No writing on the cover.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, cleaned and inspected visually under a white halogen light source I can see a number of extremely light "cleaning" type scratches on each side.
I then played both sides entirely and surface noise is not a significant issue, perhaps Side B is a little noisier but still a great play on both sides!
New outer plastic protective sleeve
Tracks: Paint It Black, Honky Tonk Woman
