Have a listen to a track from this very early pressing:

Released on the 17th of April 1964, this album was the first Stones' album on the DECCA label. There have been many pressings of this album in the following years-With the first AND second pressings having the shortened version of MONA. This pressing is the 2nd, with the corrected and longer version of 'Mona' (Later: 'I Need You Baby')

The vinyl
QUALITY 141g
VG..Very nice condition.....She carries quite a few light marks to her as I think she was probably taken to parties-and why not?!. I have just listened to ALL of it and it just sounds like the Stones at their raw best!
ONLY light background noise, which would be reduced with a professional clean..these records, in their first pressing were made to a much higher standard than later pressings, making them able to take more abuse than normal.
She is lovely and flat-a real RAW beauty to listen to and hear the start of something huge!
*FLAT*
 TRANSPORTING YOU STRAIGHT BACK TO THE 60'S

The labels VG+..Clear and bright, with the lucious deep red colour assosiated with the first early MONO pressings. They have traces of spindle marks, visible when angled to the light as well as minimal hole wear....Please see the detailed photo's.
NO WRITING
UNBOXED DECCA
1st Print run lables, with Honest I do credited to Hurran & Calvert AS WELL as Mona being on the label as a track name (later replaced with I Need You Baby) AND credited to McDaniels.
Deep DECCA Groove.

Mis-spelling of Dozier

The Inner EX-. It is THE ORIGINAL INNER-with the stars to the front and plastic lining. Just light creasing and discolouration...That's it!
