Description

What's on offer?: Probably the most SUPERB and, perhaps, RAREST copy ever to be offered for sale of the historic EP "Five By Five" by The Rolling Stones.

This is an UNPLAYED FACTORY SAMPLE COPY of the ORIGINAL 1964 UK EP on the Decca label DFE 8590, complete with the incredibly scarce early misprinted sleeve!!

Any fan of The Rolling Stones (and there are LOADS of them!!), the 60s Beat/R&B sound, or rare record collecting in general will truly want to have this in their collection!!!!

Tracks: "If You Need Me"; "Empty Heart"; "2120 South Michigan Avenue"; "Confessin' The Blues" and "Around And Around".

Labels: In STUNNING condition with NO writing and NO spindle marks; just a "Sample Record" label!!!

Disc surface: Most of these 60s records had been played on a heavy stylus and so are usually found totally worn out, almost unplayable. This record, however, came from a Music Journalist who never bothered with it and so the disc is genuinely believed to be UNPLAYED!!!! Believe me this stunning record is in MINT condition and NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it's simply not in my interest to do otherwise!!!! Brilliant!!!!

Sleeve: As mentioned, this is the very early and rare first print of the sleeve that has a real howler of an error in that "Mike" Jagger is printed on the reverse (see picture - the red ring is only on the image, not the sleeve!!). This 'unhip' mistake was quickly brought to the attention of the printers and rectified, so all but the very first few sleeves have the "Mick" Jagger print!!! Grading for the flipback sleeve is EXCELLENT PLUS bordering on MINT minus; just a couple of tiny laminate wrinkles but no writing, tears or creases.

Why buy?: Did you know that Factory sample copies were VERY limited and that this is the only copy with such unusual characteristics (i.e. complete with the misprinted sleeve) that you're ever likely to see?!!! WITH THE EARLY MISPRINTED SLEEVE AND AS A FACTORY SAMPLE IN THIS CONDITION, THIS IS ONE OF THE TRUE HOLY GRAIL ITEMS FOR ROLLING STONES COLLECTORS!!!! SO, DON'T MISS OUT!!!! THIS HAS SIMPLY GOT TO BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY A FACTORY SAMPLE COPY OF THE ORIGINAL 1964 DECCA EP "FIVE BY FIVE" BY THE ROLLING STONES IN STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED CONDITION WITH THE EARLY MISPRINTED SLEEVE!!!!

Don't forget: Have a look at all my other rare items on auction!!!
