This is an ORIGINAL Decca UK MONO 'Earliest' 1st Pressing and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 4605 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press UNBOXED 'ridged' Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 'earliest' 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Rolling Stones at their best!!!! Any fan of The Rolling Stones, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition and it is SO rare to find this MEGA RARE 1st Pressing like this!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has a STUNNING shine to it and BRILLIANT sound quality!!!!  It has NO scratches, a few light hairlines, 2 or 3 light scufflines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays EVEN BETTER than the visual with NO pops, only a very VERY few MEGA low level isolated clicks (barely ANY & none on 'Tell Me'), NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! And the all important track 'Tell Me' plays AWESOMELY!!!!  There is NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good+ if not better - with the playing grade better still!!!!  THIS RECORD PLAYS BRILLIANTLY!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also has its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Handling/Playing' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'MacNeill' Flipback Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, NO staining, only VERY slight corner wear, only a few light creases (cover is still flat looking), and NO writing!!!!  PLEASE NOTE - this cover is NOT heavily creased like so many others you see.  There are a few 'half moons' towards the opening edge, and 2 creases near the bottom left corner - but the rest of the cover is virtually UNCREASED (apart from a few TINY edge creases)!!!!  And NONE of the creases break the laminate, and there is NO nasty 'brown/dirty' creases so often associated with these covers!!!! There is also NO laminate lifting either!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, NO wear and barely ANY yellowing AT ALL (just VERY slight yellowing to the flipbacks)!!!!  The cover is in BRILLIANT condition and must grade Very Good+ if not better - with only the few light creases stopping a higher grading!!!!  Still a very VERY nice cover indeed!!!!   IT IS MASSIVELY RARE TO EVER FIND A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH THE MEGA RARE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' AND THIS ONE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MOST THAT TURN UP, AND PLAYS BRILLIANTLY!!!!  AND OF COURSE THIS ONE IS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1ST PRESSING WITH 1A/1A MATRIXES - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS SERIOUSLY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
