MATRIX: (DISC 1) RSVP-002 A/BMATRIX: (DISC 2) RSVP-003 A/BLABEL: DRAGONFLY "SOUND OF THE SIXTIES"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is a classic collectible record album. I bought it in the mid 70's and  have had it ever since. It's always been stored in a closet, on a shelf, vertically and is protected by its original shrink wrap, though it is opened. It's also been preserved in one of those vinyl record sleeves meant for storing LP'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the Dragonfly "Sound of the Sixties" Record label. The story goes that it used the same plates as earlier RSVP pressings of these classic and rare LPs.
This 2-LP compilation of Rolling Stones 'Rarities' comes in a single white sleeve that is NOT a Gatefold. The 2 LPs sit side-by-side in one jacket.
The album cover features a classic timeless picture of Brian Jones from the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. It is printed on Blue paper which is gently attached to the plain white jacket. No tape, no writing, no damage or tears.
Contains some classic songs from the Brian Jones Era, 1964/1965.
The 'Gravestones' disc contains some rare live and studio songs from after Brian passed away, mostly from 1968-1975.
When this album was released, ‘It Should Be You’, was unique and not available on any other record of this type. It was written by Jagger/Richards and Mick has said in interviews that it was the first song he and Keith wrote together. It was released as a promo 45 by an unknown UK singer George Bean and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. There has long been debate among Stones collectors whether this version has Mick singing or not. The debate continues.

The 'Black & Blue Jam' would be released later as 'Slave'. 'Brown Sugar' was recorded at Keef's birthday party in 1970 and features Eric Clapton.  'Too Many Cooks' was a studio track produced by John Lennon.

Overall, a fantastic double LP of rare and collectible Rolling Stones from 2 different periods in their career.
The RSVP in the Matrix stands for 'Rolling Stones Vinyl Product'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a mid 1970s pressing of this album.
First pressings were on the RSVP label with rubber stamped jackets. Then the 'Idle Mind' label, Vicky Vinyl's Company. Then it was released on the 'Ruthless Rhymes' label, with the famous 'Dog & Pistol' labels.
Then this pressing, 1977/78, supposedly using RSVP original plates, was released on the 'Dragonfly' "Sound Of The 60's" label.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CONDITION:
VINYL: The vinyl is still in quite nice condition. I don't believe I ever played it more than once.

LABELS. The labels are clean and bright, The only issue is that apparently we did write a '1,2,3' and '4' on on the labels, neatly, to help tell the sides apart. I don't even see any spindle marks near the holes or on the labels, indicating that it was pretty much unplayed.

JACKET: The jacket is fine, still clean and bright.
