 ULTRA ULTRA RARE 1964 South African only press of The Rolling Stones’ self-titled/No. 2 LP (LK 4661) pressed on the RED unboxed Decca label, with the uber rare, unique artwork that has pink lettering!!  By far, the rarest Stones LP from South Africa!!! Here is some interesting information on this unique piece (sourced from eil.com):

''Simply titled 'Rolling Stones', this was their first release in South Africa in 1964. It is essentially the Stones' second UK LP (No. 2) with three different tracks; 'Little Red Rooster' replaces 'Grown Up Wrong', 'Not Fade Away' instead of 'Under The Boardwalk' plus 'I Wanna Be Your Man' in favour of 'Suzie-Q'.The front laminated flipback picture sleeve has a full band photo image and title in pink and white lettering, black on reverse.
Both the picture sleeve and title are UNIQUE to this particular South African release which was pressed EXCLUSIVELY in Rhodesia.
The sleeve has an inscription by Andrew Loog Oldham on the rear of the cover with the rare 'blind man' sleeve notes - the association with the blind led this particular text to be removed on later printings.''

Overall this copy has seen better days. Sleeve is Fair to Good condition. Midway of the top part for the sleeve has been repaired with light brown tape ; light ring-wear ; name in blue pen at the back ; the spine has been noticeably split open half-way the cover. Really sold here for its sheer rarity.

The vinyl visually appears to be in G condition. . There are lots of surface marks on both sides, but none that are very deep/heavy. The vinyl was play-tested throughout and confirmed to play without skips, however you can expect crackle and occasional pops here and there. The centre labels are in very good condition, however Side 2's label has a small, sticker impression on the ''A'' font of the Decca logo.
