·        ROLLING STONES - 12 X 5 (THE ROLLING STONES' SECOND U.S. ALBUM)  -  ORIGINAL (?) 1964 LONDON RECORDS “STEREO” LP PS-402

·        RARE ORIGINAL, FIRST VERSION OF THE COVER WHICH MISSPELLS  THE SONG "CONGRATULATIONS" AS "CONGRADULATIONS"

·        GENUINE  U.S. PRESSING

*** STILL SEALED  LONDON STEREO PRESSING, BELIEVED TO BE THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING ***

·        THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE A MONSTROUSLY RARE ORIGINAL, FIRST U.S. STEREO PRESSING ON “UNBOXED” STEREO LABEL  (WE ARE NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTIAN AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT IT IS); HOWEVER,  IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT THIS IS A VERY EARLY PRESSING CIRCA 1965/66 ON DARK-BLUE LONDON STEREO LABEL WITH WITH “BOXED” (FRAMED) LONDON LOGO,  SILVER PRINT AND “STEREOPHONIC” BANNER ACROSS THE LABEL’S CENTER (MID-TO-LATE 60’s STYLE).

·        THE THICKNESS OF THE VINYL, THE APPEARANCE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COVER, LABEL’S LOGO AND OTHER PERIPHERAL ELEMENTS OF THE COVER, ARE ALL PERFECTLY CONSISTENT WITH THE ORIGINAL, FIRST PRESSING OF THIS TITLE.

·        ONE “BREATHE” (AIR) HOLE NOTED ON THE SHRINK WRAP

·        THIS IS NOT AN IMPORT, RECORD CLUB RELEASE OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·        THICK CARDBOARD COVER, AMERICAN STYLE

·        ORIGINAL 1960s COVER WHICH HYPES AVAILABILITY OF THE ALBUM IN BOTH MONO AND STEREO

·        FAIRLY THICK VINYL PRESSING On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least thick, and  10 being the thickest), we assess the thickness of the vinyl as 7.

(►PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)

An American-only release at the time, consisting of a few tracks from the forthcoming UK "Rolling Stones No. 2" album, the UK 5X5 EP, and a few singles. Given the scattershot nature of the album, gathered from so many sources, it's a surprisingly cohesive collection. Mainly, it's a continuation of the first album; a collection of blues covers with some originals thrown in. The material here is slightly stronger than the first album; containing "Time is On My Side" which started their rise to prominence in the US (although the version on the original LP has the organ intro instead of the more familiar guitar intro). It also contains the highly energetic "It's All Over Now", with the enigmatic "Playing her high-class game" line that sounds like something else I probably can't repeat here. Two of the originals, "Empty Heart" and "2120 South Michigan Avenue", work more as grooves rather than songs, but they seem to foreshadow a sort of proto-funk by a few years

(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY RUSSELL NEWTON, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

When , according to the legend, Rolling Stones unloaded their guitars and amps in 1964 at the Chess’ recording studios in Chicago, to record the album's worth of songs, it was none other than Howlin’ Wolf who helped them unload their amps'n'stuff.  The Rolling Stones returned the favor - and kept returning it for many years thereafter - by including many Chicago bluesmen in their TV appearances, by making cameos on their albums and by - like they did here - recording many classic chess blues covers. This is the Rolling Stones' second US LP – A GENUINE PIECE OF ROCK`N`ROLL HISTORY.
