On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rolling Stones called 'Rolling Stones No 2' and is a MONO UK pressing on the UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca label!!!!  THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE LP AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND!!!!  BUT THIS LP IS VERY VERY SPECIAL INDEED!!!!  THIS IS THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER PRESSING OF THIS LP AND IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!   THIS PRESSING IS KNOWN AS THE 'TRANSITIONAL' PRESSING (WITH A DIFFERENT 'PASTE ON' BACK COVER) AND IS SERIOUSLY RARE!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN.

THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN 1965 AND A FEW MONTHS AFTER RELEASE COMPLAINTS STARTED TO FLOOD IN TO DECCA ABOUT SOME OFFENDING TEXT ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER.  THIS OFFENDING TEXT IS KNOWN AS THE 'BLIND MAN' TEXT AND BASICALLY THE TEXT SAID 'IF YOU DONT HAVE THE BREAD, SEE THAT BLIND MAN KNOCK HIM ON THE HEAD, STEAL HIS WALLET....' ETC.  THIS CAUSED SOME OFFENSE AND DECCA WAS FORCED TO CHANGE THE BACK OF THE COVER.  HOWEVER DECCA STILL HAD A STOCKPILE OF COVERS WITH THE OFFENDING TEXT - AND RATHER THAN DESTROY THEM THEY DECIDED TO 'COVER' THEM (MUCH IN THE STYLE OF A BEATLES 'BUTCHER COVER') WITH A 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK TO 'COVER' THE OFFENDING TEXT.  ONLY A VERY FEW COVERS WERE PRESSED LIKE THIS - BEFORE STANDARD LATER PRESSED COVERS (WITHOUT THE TEXT) WERE INTRODUCED.  IF YOU LOOK AT MY PICTURES BELOW YOU CAN FAINTLY SEE THE ORIGINAL TEXT SHOWING FAINTLY THROUGH THE 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK AND ALSO YOU CAN SEE THE EDGE OF THE PAPER OF THE 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK!!!!  THESE 'TRANSITIONAL' COVERS WITH 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK ARE INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND AND ARE SERIOUSLY RARE!!!!  BUT NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!  THIS IS THE MEGA RARE 1965 UK 'TRANSITIONAL' MONO PRESSING ON THE UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND MEGA RARE LAMINATED 'TRANSITIONAL' COVER WITH 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK!!!!  THIS LP IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND AS A MEGA RARE 'TRANSITIONAL' PRESSING - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK 'Transitional' MONO pressing and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 4661 on the ORIGINAL UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Rolling Stones at their best!!!! Any fan of The Rolling Stones, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  THIS RECORD HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT 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 MEGA light hairlines, 3 or 4 light surface marks (NON sounding - and these look to be from the original pressing), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  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 comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve!!!! The MEGA RARE 'Transitional' Laminated Cover (with 'Paste On Cover Back') is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear, shiny laminate, only a few light creases (cover is flat looking), 1 light crease in the top left corner which has lifted (but NOT broken) the laminate slightly, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated cover back (with paste on 'slick') is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, a faint brown 'age' mark towards the bottom of the reverse of the cover, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS ULTRA RARE 'TRANSITIONAL' PRESSING IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
