THE ROLLING STONES
Self titled first album !!!!
MONO
PLAYS SUPERB !!!!

Firstly the boring bit, but these are the facts about this pressing and time of release, etc, so please read FULLY as it is VERY important, thank you !!!!
THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PRESSED ON THE MONO UNBOXED GROOVED RED DECCA LABEL IN 1964. THE EARLIEST LABELS HAVE TRACK 4 ON SIDE 1, NAMED, "MONA", WHICH WAS QUICKLY CHANGED TO, "I NEED YOU BABY". ALSO TRACK 3 ON SIDE 1, "HONEST I DO" IS CREDITED TO, 'HURRAN, CALVERT', BUT IT CREDITS THE PUBLISHERS AS, (C) 'CROMWELL MUSIC', WHICH WAS CHANGED TO, 'BURLINGTON MUSIC'. THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IS THAT THE VERY EARLIEST 1st PRESS THAT WHEN FIRST RECORDED, THE DEMO TAPE FOR THE TRACK, "I NEED YOU" WAS MISTAKINGLY USED, AND LASTED ONLY 2.52 MINUTES, SO IS REFERRED TO THE 'SHORT VERSION'. THE DEMO TRACK SOUNDS CLEARLY DIFFERENT, AND LUCKILY WAS QUICKLY NOTICED, AND THE 'SHORT VERSION' WAS REPLACED BY THE 4.06 MINUTES, 'LONG VERSION', WHICH WE KNOW TODAY, SO THE 'SHORT VERSIONS' ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND !!!!
THE PRESSING LISTED BELOW IS AN EARLY 1964 PRESS, JUST AFTER THE 'SHORT VERSION' WAS NOTICED, SO NOW HAS THE 'LONG VERSION' OF, "TELL ME", BUT IS STILL PRESSED ON THE EARLIEST FIRST LABEL, WITH 'MONA' FOR TRACK 4 ON SIDE 1, AND ALSO, 'CROMWELL MUSIC' PUBLISHERS !!!!

THIS IS THE ROLLING STONES WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, AND THEIR 1st AND DEBUT ALBUM, AND ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN THE UK IN APRIL 1964, AND THIS IS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND PLAYS SUPERB , AS WILL BE DESCRIBED BELOW !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 UK VERY EARLY PRESS (AS DESCRIBED ABOVE) :: XARL-6271-1A  :: XARL-6272-4A .
MOTHERS AND STAMPERS  ::  2B  BA  ::  1 U .
ON THE RED UNBOXED DECCA LABEL  ::  LK. 4605 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY MacNEILL PRESS, LONDON, S.E.1. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A 1964 CORRECT COVER, IT DOES NOT HAVE, 'MONA' CREDITED ON THE BACK OF THE COVER, BUT HAS, "I NEED YOU" WHICH HAD BEEN REPRINTED FROM THE VERY EARLIEST COVERS, SO THERE NA ON THE LABEL, BUT NOT ON THE COVER, WHICH HAPPENED A LOT BACK IN THE DAY TO STOP COVERS BEING SCRAPPED. THE FRONT IS IN LOVELY CONDITION, WITH THE USUAL LAMINATE CREASE LINES, AND FAINT RING WEAR, BUT IT IS A LOT BETTER THAN MOST OF THESE EARLY PRESSED COVERS. THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING BUT DOES HAVE AGE RELATED MARKS, SO BEST TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ . VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERB, AND A TOTAL JOY TO LISTEN TO, AS IT IS AN EARLY 1964 PRESSING, PRESSED ON MONO DECCA VINYL. NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS, CLICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND ALL I HEARD WAS ....
SIDE 1 :: TRACK 3 :: HAS JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE. ALL THE REST OF THE TRACKS ON SIDE 1 PLAY FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION !!!!
SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START. TRACK 3 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START . THERE ARE THREE FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 4 AND TRACK 5. TRACK 5 :: HAS A FEW FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START, AND NOTHING NASTY. ALL THE REST OF THE TRACKS ON SIDE 2 PLAY FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION !!!!
VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, WITH NOTHING NASTY, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A COUPLE OF MEDIUM SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A MORE NOTICEABLE HAIRLINE ON THE LAST TWO TRACKS ON SIDE 1, BUT IS HARMLESS !!!! SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX .

LABELS ::  JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .

POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST A BIT OF AGEING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL. I DO THINK THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL AS IT IS AN 'EMITEX INNER', BUT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH THE VINYL, AND DOES MATCH THE COVER PROFILE, SO WHO KNOWS, AGAIN THEY DID ODD THINGS BACK IN THE DAY  :: VG+ .
YET ANOTHER STONES CLASSIC, AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN AND READ, PLAYS SUPERB WITH NOTHING NASTY, AND CERTAINLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE, SO A REAL JOY TO LISTEN TO !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
