THE 2ND EVER ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN THE UK BY THE ROLLING STONES IN 1964!!!!

The Rolling Stones are an English band whose blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll-infused music became popular during the "British Invasion" in the early 1960s.  The band was formed in London in 1962 by Brian Jones, and eventually was led by the songwriting partnership of singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. During their 1969 American tour, the Stones were introduced and have often been referred to subsequently as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World", and their early image of unkempt and surly youth is one that many musicians still emulate. The band have released 55 albums of original work[ and compilations, and have had 37 top-10 singles They have sold over 200 million albums worldwide

On 12 July 1962 the group played its first gig at the Marquee club in London, billed as "The Rollin' Stones". The line-up was Jagger, Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart on piano, Taylor on bass and Mick Avoryon drums. Jones intended for the band to play primarily Chicago blues, but Jagger and Richards brought the rock 'n roll of Chuck BerrY and Bo Diddley to the band After shifting formations, bassist Bill Wyman would join later that December and drummer Charlie Watts the following January and would became the Stones' long standing rhythm section In June 1963 the band released their first UK single, a cover of Berry's "Come On".

The Beatles recommended the Stones to future manager Andrew Loog Oldham, and George Harrison who encouraged Decca Records to sign the band.. Their first EP, The Rolling Stones and album (also titled The Rolling Stones, except in the US where it was titled England's Newest Hit Makers), were comprised primarily of covers drawn from the band's live repertoire. After signing with Decca, the Stones began touring the U.K. and Europe. On their first tour of England, the Stones were packaged with American stars including Ike and Tina Turner, Bo Diddley, The Ronettes, The Everly Brothers and Little Richard.

THE VINYL

This is the original and heavier and thicker\deeper grooved type of vinyl only found on these early pressings!!! Later press were much more flimsier and lees robust.THIS LOOKS VERY NEAR PRISTINE!!

On visual inspection the vinyl lays perfectly flat on the turntable and still retains its original sheen from new and in deed the playing surface looks like new!!!!.I CAN'T SEE A BLEMISH!!!! (NO NEEDLE SCRATCHES OR AUDIO SOUNDING MARKS) In strong light, any surface marks that could possibly be seen would have been caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its record sleeve and perhapes the odd very (very) minute scuff (not audio sounding)!!!!!. After playing this through track for track  The audio is awesome cristal clear and vibrant through out! Please note! With (no) signs of distortion or any signs of grooveware! OR THAT THIS HAS BEEN OVER PLAYED AT ALL!!!  This plays with (no) clicks perhapes very light static in very few places when played at high volume being very critical and i never heard in fact (no) background crackle at all during the audio. even in between tracks background noise is extreemely minimal. So rare for a stones vinyl that is 43 years old!!!!! please note This audio is  cristal clear and vibrant through out!! I would class myself as highly critical! Please look at my completed listing of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right!!!!! (NO JUMPS OR SKIPS) AUDIO GRADES AT THE  VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!!!!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! I have given my honest opinion when describing the audio quality of this album and those who know the listings and vinyls that i sell my prime interest is the audio quality!!! Please allow for the odd static tick\click not consistant  through out the audio! This is a genuine (not) reissue vinyl that is 43 years old and would have been played on a system that is 43 years old!
