THE ROLLING STONES           N0.2      

MONO 

WITH EX AUDIO !!!!

WHEN FIRST RELEASED THE BACK HAD REFERENCES TO A BLIND MAN, WHICH WAS SOON CENSORED WITH THE 'BLIND MAN' TEXT BEING REMOVED, SO NEW COVERS PRINTED. DECCA HAD SOME 'BLIND MAN' TEXT COVERS LEFT OVER, SO INSTEAD OF GETTING RID OF THEM, THEY PASTED A CENSORED VERSION ON THE BACK !!!!
THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS THE EARLIEST WITH, THE BLINDMAN TEXT ON THE BACK, AND ALSO THE VINYL HAS THE VERY FIRST LABELS, AS THE LABELS HAVE JUST, 'MADE IN ENGLAND', ON BOTH SIDES ALONG THE TOP !!!!


THIS IS THE ROLLING STONES WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, AND THEIR 2nd ALBUM RELEASED IN 1965. THIS IS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND PLAYS VERY WELL WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, 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 1965 UK PRESS :: XARL-7209-2A  :: XARL-7210-1A .
AS YOU CAN SEE EARLY MATRIX :: -2A -1A !!

ON THE RED UNBOXED DECCA LABEL  ::  LK. 4661.
COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY JAMES UPTON Ltd, BIRMINGHAM & LONDON WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH NO RUB JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. NO LAMINATE LIFT, AND QUITE A FEW VARIOUS SIZED LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND ALSO A BIT OF FAINT RING WEAR SEEN WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THE BACK HAS SOME AGE RELATED MARKS, AND I THINK IT IS BEST TO LOOK AT THE PHOTOS FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ . VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS VERY WELL AND WITH BEAUTIFUL MONO AUDIO, SO CERTAINLY NO STATIC OR CRACKLE, OR ANY SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS !!!! VISUALLY NO NASTY ISSUES AND AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT,  ON SIDE 1, THERE IS A FAINT SMALL COSMETIC MARK AT THE START OF TRACK 1, AND JUST A FEW VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES. ON SIDE 2, THERE ARE TWO TINY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARKS ON TRACK 2, ONE AT THE START, AND THE OTHER ONE IN THE MIDDLE, AND A COUPLE OF TINY OTHER COSMETIC MARKS, WHICH ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, ALSO JUST A FEW VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES.
SO IT IS JUST TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2 WITH ANYTHING OF NOTE, AS THE REST OF THE TRACKS PLAY NEAR FAULTLESS !!!! ALL I HEARD WAS... ON SIDE 1, NOTHING AT ALL, JUST BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO, FROM START TO FINISH !!!! ON SIDE 2, TRACK 2 HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START, AND AFTER THE START, THREE MEDIUM TICKS, AND FOUR LIGHT TICKS, CAUSED BY THAT SLIGHTLY FELABLE TINY MARK, AND JUST TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, FROM THE OTHER TINY MARK. THERE ARE TWO VERY FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 5.
A DIFFICULT VINYL TO GRADE SO I WILL SPLIT THE GRADE... TRACK 2, ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  EX- . ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1, AND ALL THE TRACKS ON SIDE 2, EXCEPT TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  EX+/NEAR MINT . 
LABELS ::  EARLIEST FIRST LABELS, JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO SPLITS OR WRITING, VERY NICE, JUST SOME AGEING, AND AGE RELATED MARKS, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NICE AND CLEAN NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: VG/VG- .
YET ANOTHER STONES CLASSIC, AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN AND READ IN LOVELY CONDITION, WITH BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, WITH JUST TRACK 2 HAVING A FEW TICKS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE ORIGINAL COVER IS SOLID, AND NOT TOO BAD COMPARED TO MOST OF THESE EARLY COVERS, AND ORIGINAL INNER !!!! 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 !
