Description

On offer here is one of the RAREST LPs you will EVER see (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rolling Stones called "The Rolling Stones" and is an ORIGINAL 1964 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS WAS THE ROLLING STONES FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE DECCA LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL, IS THAT IT IS THE ALL TIME RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE - WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MIX THAT ONLY EVER HAPPENED ON A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  THIS IS THE AMAZINGLY RARE '2.52' MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP AND PLAYS THE WITHDRAWN '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME'!!!!  THIS '2.52' MIX SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ON THIS LP AT ALL (IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A DEMO VERSION ONLY!), AND WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO THE STANDARD '4.06' PRESSING OF 'TELL ME' WHICH APPEARS ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!!  ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF THESE LPS LEAKED OUT WITH THE '2.52' VERSION - AND MAKES THIS, THE RAREST ROLLING STONES LP OF ALL TIME!!!!  IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ON THIS 1ST PRESSING - THE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' IS NOT ONLY SHORTER THAN THE STANDARD LATER '4.06' VERSION - BUT ALSO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT RECORDING!!!!  IT SOUNDS TOTALLY DIFFERENT (AND IN MY OPINION BETTER!) AND IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE ROLLING STONES AT THEIR VERY BEST!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL, THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!

BUT THERE IS 1 MORE VITALLY IMPORTANT DETAIL - THAT MAKES THIS THE ALL TIME RAREST '2.52' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!!  AND THAT IS THAT IT HAS COMPLETELY UNDOCUMENTED MATRIX ENDINGS THAT ARENT EVEN SUPPOSED TO EXIST ON THIS LP AT ALL!!!!  MOST PEOPLE WILL ALREADY KNOW THAT THESE '2.52' MONO 1ST PRESSINGS WERE MADE WITH 1A/1A MATRIXES & 1A/2A MATRIX ENDINGS.  HOWEVER, WHAT MOST DONT ACTUALLY KNOW IS THAT THE VERY FIRST BATCH OF 2A/2A MATRIXES ALSO HAD THE WRONG MIX ASWELL!!!!  ONLY AROUND 300 COPIES WERE EVER MADE WITH 2A/2A MATRIX ENDINGS, AND ALL OF THEM HAVE THE FIRST EVER MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS EVER USED - BEING 1/B & 1/B!!!!  AS I JUST SAID - ONLY AROUND 300 COPIES WERE EVER MADE WITH THE WITHDRAWN '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' ON THESE ULTRA RARE 2A/2A MATRIX ENDINGS - BEFORE DECCA STOPPED ALL PRODUCTION AND CHANGED THE MIX TO THE LATER '4.06' VERSION!!!!  AND SHOWING EXACTLY HOW RARE THIS LP REALLY IS WITH THESE MATRIXES - NO GUIDE BOOK AT ALL EVEN LISTS THEM!!!!  AND THAT IS MAINLY BECAUSE BARELY ANYONE EVEN KNOWS OF THEIR EXISTENCE AT ALL!!!!  AND ANYONE WHO HAS ANY DOUBTS AT ALL ABOUT THE '2.52' VERSION ON THIS LP - NEED ONLY LOOK AT MY PICTURES FOR CONFIRMATION!!!!  IF YOU ALSO LOOK IN MY PICTURES BELOW - YOU CAN ALSO SEE A PICTURE OF THE RECORD LYING FLAT WITH THE 2ND SIDES 'GROOVES' (& 'TELL ME' ON THE LABEL!) CLEARLY DISPLAYED!!!!  AND IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE GROOVE SPACING (AND COMPARE IT WITH ANY LATER COPY) - YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE 3RD TRACK ON THIS SIDE ('TELL ME') IS MUCH THINNER THAN LATER '4.06' PRESSINGS SHOWING WITHOUT ANY DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS RECORD PLAYS THE '2.52' VERSION!!!!  SO NOT ONLY IS THIS LP THE ULTRA RARE '2.52' UK MONO 1ST PRESSING (WHICH PLAYS THE WRONG MIX OF 'TELL ME'!) - BUT IT IS ALSO THE ALL TIME RAREST '2.52' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE (AND THE CHANCES OF EVER SEEING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO!)!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 UK MONO '2.52' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL, 1ST PRESSING 'HANDLING/PLAYING' INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'MacNEILL' FLIPBACK LAMINATED MONO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK '2.52' 1st Pressing from 1964 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat.

This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairline traces, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  There is also some fractional dappling to the record (I am being really picky here - but I mention everything I see!) - though this only visible under very VERY bright light ONLY (most wouldnt even see it!) and it as minor as it gets!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, barely ANY distortion, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT RECORD!!!!  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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Handling/Playing' inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'MacNeill' Flipback Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, a few light creases (though these are all small & light - and the cover is VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (THIS IS A VERY DECENT EXAMPLE INDEED - AND SO RARELY SEEN LIKE THIS!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
