Here we have the ultra rare Rolling Stones Flowers Decca Mono Album LK4888. It is probably the hardest Stones album to track down today as there were very few copies manufactured. The mono album was not released in the UK at all but released on a trial basis in Scandanavian countries to try and develop the market in Europe. The album did not sell so Decca tried to sell the album in Spain. Initially the heavy thick vinyl with big ear FFRR was actually manufactured in the Decca plant here in the UK before Decca opened up a distributing plant in Spain where the vinyls were sent for labelling under Decca Spain and the covers were produced for the purpose of selling to the Spanish market. The album I am selling is one of these rare Decca albums and it is absolutely MINT and played just once. It has a high glossed just manufactured shine on both sides of the heavy vinyl. The labels, inner sleeve and outer cover are perfect. This really is a top copy so bid with 100% confidence. You will be delighted if you own this.

Other information: The Rolling Stones are an English rock band, formed in April 1962 in London when guitarist and harmonica player Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart joined vocalist Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early lineup. After signing to Decca Records in 1963, the band changed their name from "The Rollin' Stones" to "The Rolling Stones".[1] Band members and others often refer to the band as "The Stones".
In 1963 Jagger and Richards formed a songwriting partnership and eventually took over leadership of the band as Jones became increasingly troubled and erratic. After recording mainly covers of American blues and R&B songs, every studio record since the 1966 album Aftermath has featured mainly Jagger/Richards songs. Mick Taylor replaced Jones shortly before Jones' death in 1969. Taylor quit in 1974, and was replaced in 1975 by Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has remained with the band since. Stewart was removed from the official lineup in 1963 to continue as the band's road manager and occasional keyboardist until his death in 1985. Wyman left in 1992 and was replaced by Darryl Jones, who is not an official band member but has been the primary bassist since 1994.
First popular in the UK, The Rolling Stones toured the US repeatedly during the early 1960s "British Invasion". The Rolling Stones have released 22 studio albums in the UK (24 in the US), eight concert albums (nine in the US) and numerous compilations; and have album sales estimated at more than 200 million worldwide. Sticky Fingers (1971) began a string of eight consecutive studio albums reaching number one in the United States. Their latest album, A Bigger Bang, was released in 2005. In 1989 The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 they ranked number 4 in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked The Rolling Stones at number ten on "The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists", and as the second most successful group in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
