THE ROLLING STONES No.2 original UK Mono LP 1965

$

194

Welcome to my vinyl auctions.

Over the coming months I will be listing a remarkable record collection for auction on ebay. This collection belonged to my friend Brian, one of the most discerning record collectors I have ever known. Brian started buying records in 1966 when he was a teenager. His infatuation for vinyl developed into a career and he eventually ended up working for RCA records and CBS/Sony records as a disc mastering engineer from 1977 to 1989. Brian’s not with us anymore, and I’m making good on my promise to him to sell his records in lovingly-prepared auctions which reflect the love he had for his vast LP collection. The proceeds are going to his family.

Brian’s collection is the kind that rarely comes up for sale. He had great taste in music and collected vinyl seriously for 40 years, taking superb care of his collection. To see all of Brian’s records that I currently have listed, click here.

I grade records conservatively, to ensure your satisfaction as the buyer. All LP’s will be shipped promptly in reinforced record-mailing boxes. Because of the size of this collection, I will be listing these records in sections, so you might want to bookmark my listings page and keep checking back. Also, if you want to be notified when a new block of records is listed, drop me a line with your email address.

It’s a while since I’ve listed any LPs on ebay, but for a sample of the excellent feedback I received last time I did, please follow this link.

This month I’m listing the last of Brian’s ROLLING STONES records.

Artist: The Rolling Stones

Title: The Rolling Stones No. 2

Country of Issue: UK

Year of Issue: 1965

Catalogue Number: LK 4661

Matrix side one: XARL-6619-2A

Matrix side two: XARL-6620-2A

Condition of sleeve: VG++ with very faint ringwear and minor creasing to laminated cover.

Condition of records: VG++ with a bunch of spindle marks and light wear on both sides but still sounds remarkably nice.

Further Notes: The Rolling Stones’ second UK long playing record was not released in the United States or Canada and was a refinement of the r’n’b that was the Stones stock in trade during the latter half of 1964. A shift toward soul numbers (Solomon Burke and Otis Redding being covered here as well as Irma Thomas) indicated that the stylistic breadth of the band was growing beyond the Chicago blues that was the sound of the first album.

This is the boxed Decca label version of this record made from original tube cut plates and it sounds fantastic! (certainly better and more 3D than the recent box set – which is the only place one can find this LP reissued as it hasn’t been reissued separately)

This is the later pressing that omits the “see that old man” text from the Andrew Oldham’s liner notes.

A tremendously enjoyable Stones record that gives an immediate presence and attack that other pressings of this LP sorely lack – tubes cut works wonders for this record. A fantastic Stones soul record.

All records are cleaned on a VPI 16.5 and are ready to play – records are never playgraded until they are cleaned properly – that way an accurate grading can occur. All records are placed in new Nitty Gritty sleeves and if there is an original sleeve present it is contained in the package for completeness.
