Original promotional copy of the US issue of The Rolling Stones’ debut album released by London Records on May 30, 1964. The cover had the “England’s Newest Hit Makers” banner which later on became the album’s official title. The front side of this textured cover contains a blurb reading “FREE full color photo of THE ROLLING STONES inside” in the lower left-hand corner. The cover still remains in the original factory shrink wrap with a round “Promotional Copy Not For Sale” sticker affixed to the front cover underneath the shrink wrap. Original 11” x 11” textured “The Rolling Stones” photo insert which features the same artwork as the album’s front cover. Original “Made in England” London Records 2.75” deep groove pressing ring “Not For Sale” white labels with a boxed London “FFRR” logo and “LL.3375DJ” catalog number unlike the “LL 3375” indicated on the cover. 1st promotional pressing containing the 1st -3A / -3A matrix numbers with the full matrix numbers being as follows: Side 1: XARL-6291-3A; Side 2: XARL-6292-3A. This promotional album comes with an original London Records poly-lined “U.K. Patent No. 1,072,844” inner sleeve.

The cover remaining in the original shrink wrap is in Near Mint condition, just like the original color photo insert which is in great vintage condition. I grade the vinyl as Very Good. It retains its glossy factory lacquer but has some light surface marks, hairlines and scuffs. The snow white labels are very clean, scuff- and wear-free, and are graded as Near Mint Minus only having a few very light spindle marks that can be seen under a strong light. The vinyl plays great with just some very light occasional static. Track 4 of Side 2 has a couple of very light ticks at the end, which probably will disappear if you change the balance of your tonearm. Most likely, the static also could get reduced or go away if the record was professionally cleaned using a VPI cleaning machine. The original poly-lined London inner sleeve is in Near Mint Minus condition and doesn't have any splits or tears.
