Description

PLEASE READ FIRST!

I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records, so I cannotguarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).

All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.

THE ROLLING STONES
Self Titled Debut LP
XARL 6272-1A Matrix Number - 2.52 Version of Tell Me!!!

On offer here is one of the true holy grails of Rolling Stones collecting! This is an original early 1st press of the Rolling Stones self titled debut LP on the Decca label and features the legendary XARL 6272-1A matrix number on side 2, indicating that this copy features the immediately withdrawn demo take of the song Tell Me!

When this LP was initially mastered and produced the incorrect version of the song Tell Me was used. This early take was a very bare, shaky take that only lasted for just under 3 minutes and sounded very amateurish. The mistake was immediately spotted and production stopped whilst the correct, longer version of the song was added. matrix numbers moved to -3A, and production continued.

Due to how instantly this error was caught and corrected, and due to how insanely different the version used on this copy sounded, the 1A copies are deemed to be a holy grail of Stones and general vinyl collectors. It's thought that just a few hundred copies were ever produced before the song was changed, and today it is pretty much impossible to find a copy!

This copy is not in the best condition and is been through the wars through the last 55 years. It is being offered as a collection filler due to how incredibly rare and collectible these are!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:

MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
