Description
This is a VERY EARLY “1st” PRESSING of the Rolling stones 1st LP.
There's of course a lot of variations in the versions of this LP so i have summarised the details below.
first the condition:
It's in remarkable condition! Virtually zero crackle or background noise, it plays really nicely and still has the lustre and shine we all like to see. There are few light surface marks you'd expect to see on a 59 year old record, but this is by far the best i've seen.
The cover is also in good shape it's a flipback sleeve, with hardly any delamination (see pic). there is also very little yellowing on the back cover, but has a little damage on the opening edge (see pic) it's minor though given the age. also has a very small spit on the spine (see pic)
The details - these have been crossed referenced with https://www.stonesondecca.com/the-60s-decca/rolling-stones/
• Matrix Numbers are: XARL-6271-2A / XARL-6271-5A, and is still considered a first press, just not quite 'the very first of the first'.
• Has the long version of 'Tell Me' at 4:06. The short version appears on the very first version of the LP, but was also very quickly rectified.
• The tracklisting - The first press cover can be identified by the forth song that has the title “Mona”. The credit for Honest I Do is for Hurran and Calvert and one of the names for crediting Can I Get A Witness was wrongly spelled as well, Bozier instead of Dozier. Also You Can Make It If You Try is shown as You Can Make It You Try. ALL OF THESE ARE PRESENT.
