Description
ROLLING STONES - 'THE ROLLING STONES'
This NEAR MINT UK pressing dates of their 1964 debut LP dates from late-1968 on the ungrooved/unboxed Decca label: LK.4605
The side 2 label incorrectly lists track 4 as "I Can Get A Witness" instead of "Can I Get A Witness".
This error occurs only on this 1968 pressing.
Matrix numbers: XARL-6271-2A & XARL-6272-4A
A 'JT' tax code is stamped into each run-out.
Stamper codes: 1/HB & 5,1/AC
Vinyl weight: 152g
Housed in a front laminated cover 'Printed in England' by 'MacNeill Press', with original red poly-lined 'mono' inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with no more than two or three tiny faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which appear 100% 'as new' in strong daylight. There is nothing more than a few light wispy marks consistent with inner-sleeve removal and a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp. Tough to find a better example of this late variant.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
An exceptional sounding copy which plays flawlessly. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear or any clicks, pops or other such distractions. In fact apart from a touch of regular low-level vinyl background between tracks, it cannot be faulted.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A superb unworn example which retains a glossy, unscratched front panel laminate where the only traces of wear are a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle and a small bend in the lower right corner area.
All corners are square & unbumped and both opening edges clean, sharp and unworn.
The exposed rear panel is pristine white & unblmeished.
Both seams and the spine are all unstressed, unsplit and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
