THE ROLLING STONES, NOW!

LONDON  PS 420

Stereo

1965


I bought this LP new in September 1967.


Cover - Shrink mostly on.  Missing piece arcing from about middle of open end to about middle of bottom edge.  No writing.  No cover splits.  Corner bumps, light perimeter touches.  EJ Korvette D (stereo pricing) stamp on back cover shrink, upper right.  B/W hype sticker on shrink.


Vinyl - Some rubs/smudges, some light marks.  No-box LONDON blue labels.  Plays great.


Sleeve - Clear plastic.

Side 2:  ZAL 6692-3          l l l 

Pressing Rings 25mm

Vinyl weight 4 7/8 oz, 139 grams

l - in deadwax on side 1 is a designation for the Decca Gloversville pressing


Originally released Feb 13, 1965, Feb 1965, March 1965, on different sites.


bsnpubs places these no-box, blue LONDON labels from 1964 to late 1965.


friktech(dot)com has these labels in the NOW listing as 1965-1966

friktech refers to my labels as 2A.

The small, 25mm, pressing rings indicate DECCA pressed this vinyl


Other characteristics from friktech that my album shares: 

SIDE 1,2 all caps, right of spindle hole 1965-1966

No “Made in USA” at label bottoms  1965-1966

THE ROLLING STONES tall, thin print 1965-1966, lower part of labels

Back cover - no “blind man” in liner notes.  Original covers had it, then eliminated it, then reprinted on back during 1966.  My copy does NOT have the “blind man” section in the liner notes.  Would be  after the “over.” at top of 2nd column.

first back cover, at bottom, “PLAY THIS RECORD…”

first front cover - STEREO PS 420 - top left

Hype sticker on some original covers.


The DECCA pressing ring, the no-box LONDON labels, the absence of “blind man” in liner notes  may date this copy as 1965.  It shares many of the cover and label specifics that correspond with 1965 releases that remove the “blind man” section.


friktech, like bsnpubs, is a comprehensive source, but like everywhere and everybody, we’re looking back 50+ years with some concrete, some speculative verification.


We can verify though that this is another Classic Stones offering.  12 songs that let them pour it on.  They were still covering other artists, and giving The Rolling Stones versions that provide unique takes.  Jagger-Richard give us 4 originals that stick in our favorites category.


Whether it’s the band and Jagger racing along together or the band punctuating Jagger’s unique delivery or the rocking instrumentals, we are reminded why we fell in love with this group.


Great shape, great music.
