Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rolling Stones called 'Rolling Stones' and is an ORIGINAL 1964 MONO UK '4.06' 1st Pressing (The 1st Pressing to play the '4.06' version of 'Tell Me' - pressed immediately after the ULTRA rare '2.52' 1st Pressings) on the 1st Press UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS WAS THE ROLLING STONES FIRST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE DECCA LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT THIS 1ST PRESSING IS ONE OF THE RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP EVER MADE - AND IS MADE VERY VERY SPECIAL INDEED FOR 2 INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT REASONS!!!!  FIRSTLY THIS LP HAS THE ULTRA RARE MISCREDITED 'MONA' COVER (SEE PICTURE!) - WHERE 'MONA' IS INCORRECTEDLY CREDITED ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER (INSTEAD OF 'I NEED YOU BABY')!!!!  ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY FRACTION OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVERS EVER MADE WERE MISPRESSED WITH THE WRONG TITLE IN THE TRACKLISTING ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER - AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY CLOSE UP PICTURE - THE COVER CLEARLY LISTS TRACK 4, SIDE 1 AS 'MONA' INSTEAD OF THE USUAL CREDIT 'I NEED YOU BABY'!!!!  AND ASWELL AS THIS - THE CREDIT FOR 'CAN I GET A WITNESS' IS ALSO COMPLETELY WRONG, CREDITING 'BOZIER' INSTEAD OF THE CORRECT 'DOZIER' (SEE PICTURE!)!!!!  AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!

AND SHOWING THE DISC IS CLEARLY ORIGINAL TO THE COVER - THE SIDE 1 LABEL ALSO INCORRECTLY LISTS THE SAME TRACK AGAIN AS 'MONA' (MOST DONT!), HAS THE INCORRECT 'BOZIER' CREDIT FOR 'CAN I GET A WITNESS', AND BOTH LABELS CARRY THE 'FIRST PUBLISHED' TEXT (REMOVED ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!)!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL IS THAT THE COVER HAS AN INCREDIBLE DOUBLE MISPRINT!!!!  IF YOU LOOK AT THE SECOND FROM BOTTOM TRACK ON MY CLOSE UP COVER PICTURE - YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THIS COVER INCORRECTLY LISTS THIS TRACK AS "YOU CAN MAKE IT YOU TRY" - INSTEAD OF THE CORRECT "YOU CAN MAKE IT IF YOU TRY"!!!!  AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY RARE INDEED!!!!  'MONA' COVERS ARE HARD ENOUGH TO FIND IN THEIR OWN RIGHT - BUT TO FIND ONE WITH THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE MISPRINT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!!  AND PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL 'MONA' COVERS HAD THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE MISPRINT - BARELY ANY DID (MOST DIDNT)!!!!  AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS AMAZING DOUBLE COVER MISPRINT MAKES THIS LP ONE OF THE RAREST & 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!!  

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND IS STILL VERY PRESENTABLE & PLAYS BRILLIANTLY!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 '4.06' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'HANDLING/PLAYING INNER' SLEEVE AND ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'MacNEIL' DOUBLE MISPRINTED 'MONA' COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK MONO '4.06' 1st Pressing and is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 4605 on the ORIGINAL UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear (apart from a TINY touch around the centre holes!), NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 VERY ight hairlines, only 2 or 3 light scufflines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is very VERY presentable indeed!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also has its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Handling/Playing' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'MacNeill' Flipback Laminated DOUBLE MISPRINTED 'Mona' Cover is in GREAT condition overall - and still a VERY presentable example!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few light creases, shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO yellowing (apart from a VERY slight touch to the flipbacks!), only a TINY bit of damage to the EXTREME bottom left flipback (this is very VERY small indeed!), and NO writing!!!!  This cover must grade Very Good(Minus) (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still VERY presentable with NO major defects (NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, NO writing, etc!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
