ATTENTION SERIOUS ROLLING STONES AND RARE 1960s BEAT GROUP ALBUMS COLLECTORS!

HERE IS A 1964 MONO UK 1ST EDITION DECCA UNBOXED LOGOS AND GROOVED LABELS LP:THE FIRST ROLLING STONES ALBUM BUT THIS MEGA-RARE EXAMPLE IS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE PRESSING WITH THE 1A/1A MATRIXES AND THE SHORT LENGTH(2:52)VERSION OF "TELL ME". MOST THAT SURVIVE HAVE THE LONGER VERSION THAT RUNS TO JUST OVER 4 MINUTES! WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE RAREST EVER ROLLING STONES ALBUMS-RATED IN THE LATEST RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE AT £1000 FOR A MINT COPY BUT JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANYTHING APPROACHING THAT CONDITION AS ALMOST EVERY COPY BOUGHT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THIS COPY HAS BEEN PLAYED QUITE A BIT AND ENJOYED BUT DESPITE A NUMBER OF MOSTLY VISUAL SURFACE MARKS AND SOME ISOLATED POPS-A LITTLE CRACKLE HERE AND THERE AND A COUPLE OF SHORT LIVED MINOR CLICKS WHICH ARE NOT LOUD "THUDDERS"-IT IS A REALLY GREAT SOUNDING COPY! NO JUMPS,NO STICKS,NO NASTY SURFACE SWISHES! HARDLY ANY DISTORTION-JUST A LITTLE AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON. THE DECCA MASTERING AT THE TIME MEANT LOTS OF BASS-DEEP CUT GROOVES AND A WARMTH THAT EVEN RIVAL'S EMI COULDN'T MATCH! THIS IS A REALLY GREAT SOUNDING COPY THAT I ENJOYED. GIVEN THE ACTUAL SOUND AS THE MOST ACURATE GRADE-THIS IS A STRONG "VG" COPY AND HAS A REALISTIC LOW STARTING PRICE OF JUST £100!   THE COVER AND THE LABEL HAS THE "I NEED YOU BABY" SONG CREDIT,LATER CHANGED TO THE CORRECT "MONA".  

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS QUITE A FEW CREASES AND SOME STAINING AT THE EDGES WHERE STRIPS OF THIN SELLOTAPE HAVE BEEN REMOVED. THE BACK COVER LISTING FOR "I NEED YOU BABY" HAS BEEN CROSSED THROUGH IN BIRO PEN WITH"MONA"ADDED BUT NO OTHER WRITING AND NO NASTY RIPS. 

CLEAN LABELS-NO WRITING,FADING OR STAINING. SOME SPINDLE WEAR BUT NOT TOO MUCH! YOU CAN SEE BOTH LABELS IN MY PHOTO SELECTION WHERE I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO SHOW THE 1A MATRIX NUMBER. MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "HANDLING" POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT AND SUPER CLEAN WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

The 1960s equipment was often basic with much heavier tone arms than later lightweight pickups.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear 1960s MUSIC and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

IT IS STILL FAR BETTER THAN MOST AROUND!
