THE ROLLING STONES - 'FIVE BY FIVE'
Along with The Beatles' Long Tall Sally', The Rolling Stones 2nd EP 'Five By Five' is arguably one of the finest EPs of the 1960's

Matrix numbers: EFF 2739-2K & EFF 2740-1K
Stamper codes: 3,C/UK & 1/UA
Housed within its original front laminated, bi-flipback, 'MacNeill Press' printed picture cover
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & unblemished set with no more than 3/4 light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a single light turntable scuff on side 2 are unmarked in strong daylight with nothing more than a sparkling rainbow shine beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This great sounding copy has clearly been barely played and sounds clean & clear throughout with no trace of any groove/playwear on any track or in either channel. Both sides are free from any any clicks, pops or any other such audible distractions.
Cover: NEAR MINT
A virtually 'shop-new' example. The front panel is perfectly clean & unworn with just an unavoidable faint inner ring from storage, but no creasing or 'thumbnails. The rear panel is pristine and unblemished. The only factor preventing a straight 'Mint' grade is a tiny bruise to the lower right corner, visible only from the rear. This is as good as it gets.
