Tumbling Dice/ Sweet Black Angel

One of my absolute favorite rock songs of all time, and near the top of the list of my favorite Stones singles. An exaggerated opinion, perhaps, but there it is. Keith Richards' opening guitar riff, followed by Charlie Watts' drum pattern, and then Jagger & his girls wordlessly starting up, somehow aligns perfectly with some personal vibration of mine. :-) Note that even though the label on this issue says "Mono", the recording is actually in stereo. This copy comes with its original, and increasingly rare, "tongue" sleeve.

Note: The label typography on this copy is one of several variations that were released... for example, here the word "Mono" is on the left rather than the right, as it is on other copies. I'm not aware of any difference in collectibility among these variations. The audio has a very slight "crackle" for a few spins at the beginning.
