THE ROLLING STONES - 'No.2'
This fine UK 1st pressing of their second album dates from initial January 1965 release on the deep-grooved Decca label: LK.4661
The 'KT' purchase tax code is present on the label and in both run-outs.
Matrices: XARL-6619-2A & XARL-6620-1A
Stamper codes: 1/HG & 2B/HH
Vinyl weight: 150g
Housed in a front laminated, bi-flipback mono cover printed by 'James Upton Ltd.', which contains the text:
'If you don’t have the bread, see that blind man
knock him on the head, steel his wallet and low and behold you have loot, if you put in the boot, good another one sold.'
This passage was deemed offensive and was later pasted over, then removed.
Complete with original poly-lined inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Labels: MINT -
A pristine pair with just one or two very faint spindle marks around each centre hole.
Visual: MINT -
Factory-fresh playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight, with just a couple of harmless wispy paper hairlines made by the few times it has been removed from its inner visible directly beneath halogen light. Tough to upgrade this beauty.
Audio: MINT -
Played with care once or twice on quality equipment only, the sound quality throughout this amazing sounding disc is flawless throughout and will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A very respectable example which retains a clean, unworn high-gloss front panel without any 'thumbnail' wrinkles and just a handful of small spine bends. There is minor bruising to the lower corners but the upper two are sharp and unworn, as are both opening edges. The rear panel is extremely clean with just some dried glue from manufacture above the lower flipback. Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine undamaged.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Some age discolouration and light wrinkling only.
