Rolling Stones Hot Rocks 1964 -1971 London 606/7 Rare 1st PR 11-18-71 STRONG VG+

Hot Rocks 1964 - 1971

The original authentic 1st mispress with 11-18-71 on the trail-off.

This copy has the date 11-18-71 on both Sides 2 and 4. A much more RARE record set.

 

"Upon its initial pressing (Nov. 18, 1971), alternate versions of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses were included on the Hot Rocks master plate. These versions first appeared in the 1970 documentary Gimme Shelter. There is no clear reference to their origin on the album cover, sleeve or label. On the trail-off  (the smooth vinyl located nearest the disc label)  look for the word Shelley and the date 11-18-71 for confirmation of it's authenticity".
It is also indicative of it's rarity.

Shelley Products Ltd. was the record pressing plant (closed in the mid-1980s) located on Long Island, NY.

Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are noticeably different alternate takes.  After the first 2 weeks of its Nov 1971 release, this mispressed double LP was pulled from the shelves and replaced with the correct and more popular version that includes additional instruments. Consequently The 1st pressing was sold in minimal numbers. The more popular version which is the Stones biggest selling LP went on to earn platinum 12 times.

Currently, the re-issue is back on the charts numbering 18. Not bad for  42 years after its first release.

At this time Goldmine Records has this version appraised at $1000.00 which translated means it could either sell for much more based on condition or it can sell for much less.

Two others like this sold recently for $363.00 and $324.00
