AND IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS PRESSING IS KNOWN AS THE ULTRA RARE 'CENSORED' PRESSING (WITH A DIFFERENT 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK!) AND IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT MAKES THIS LP SO AMAZINGLY RARE:-

THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1965, AND ONLY WEEKS 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 GREAT OFFENSE TO MANY PEOPLE, AND DECCA WAS IMMEDIATELY FORCED TO CHANGE THE BACK OF THE COVER & REMOVE THE OFFENDING 'BLIND MAN' TEXT!!!!  HOWEVER, DECCA STILL HAD A STOCKPILE OF 1ST PRESS COVERS WITH THE OFFENDING 'BLIND MAN' TEXT ON THE REVERSE - 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 AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF 'CENSORED' COVERS WERE EVER PRESSED LIKE THIS (WITH THE 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK!) - BEFORE STANDARD LATER PRESSED COVERS (WITHOUT THE TEXT) WERE INTRODUCED AFTERWARDS!!!!  AND IF YOU LOOK VERY HARD AT THE COVER - YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE ORIGINAL TEXT SHOWING FAINTLY THROUGH THE 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK!!!!  THIS INCREDIBLY RARE 'CENSORED' PRESSING WITH ULTRA RARE 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (BECAUSE BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!) AND MAKES THIS LP ONE OF THE RAREST ROLLING STONES LPS EVER!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!

THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT HAS COMPLETELY MISMATCHED LABELS WITH 'MADE IN ENGLAND' AT THE TOP OF ONE LABEL (THE OTHER DOESNT!) AND A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPEFACE!!!!  BARELY ANY CAN POSSIBLY EXIST TODAY - AND MAKE THIS LP ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST ROLLING STONES LPs EVER MADE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND IS STILL A VERY VERY PRESENTABLE EXAMPLE INDEED!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1965 UK 'CENSORED' MONO PRESSING ON THE UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL, ULTRA RARE 'MISMATCHED' LABELS, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND ULTRA RARE LAMINATED 'CENSORED' COVER (WITH ULTRA RARE 'PASTE ON' COVER BACK!)!!!!  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 'Censored' MONO Pressing and is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  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 (see pictures) have NO wear, a residue mark on 1 label (NOT a tear!), NO writing, and some spindle marks to either label!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall - and still a very VERY decent record indeed!!!!  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 nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 VERY small lateral scuffline marks, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, only 1 light scuffine, 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!!!!  It plays with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent record 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 comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve which is in GREAT condition (apart from the loss of its poly-lining)!!!!  The AMAZINGLY RARE 'Censored' Laminated MONO Cover (with ULTRA RARE 'Paste On' Cover back!) is in GREAT condition overall - and is still very VERY presentable indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), shiny laminate (with the usual light record impression), NO rips, NO tears, some creasing (mainly towards the edges - but cover is still VERY flat looking!), NO splits, 2 or 3 small areas of laminate lifting, NO annotations, only 1 TINY stain in the top right corner, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated cover back (with 'Paste on' cover back!) is in GREAT condition with barely ANY grubbyness AT ALL, NO yellowing, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY presentable cover indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY AS THE RAREST VERSION EVER MADE - WITH ULTRA RARE 'MISMATCHED' LABELS!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
