The Rolling Stones - Goat's Head Soup (LP, Album, Gat) (Very Good Plus (VG+))

Media Condition:  Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG)
Country:    UK  
Released:  31 Aug 1973
Genre:       Rock
Style:         Blues Rock

Comments:
very nice English disc. has both inserts. there's an indentation emanating from Mick's mouth on the lower front cover. of course rear cover has indentations above Keith's head originating from the zipper of their Sticky album. also a little bit of fading on spine from light exposure I presume.
 

Notes:

Gatefold cover.
Includes two LP-sized inserts.
Rarely, the promotional "Goat Head Soup" stickers by John Pasche can be found with the record, mainly attached to the top right sleeve. Here is what Pasche, the cover art designer said in an interview: „At a very late stage they decided to use some new photos of the band for the cover and the soup images were used as a folded poster with the album and also for stickers promoting the album’s release.“ These exact stickers alone pop up from time to time without the record and also have been found on the second matrix variation. These facts, their rarity and their "promotional character" would lead to the conclusion that they have not been an integral part of the first album release. Maybe the company handed them out to some stores who either gave them away as a gift or put them on the sleeves.
