Description
HERE WE HAVE THE STONES FIRST ALBUM WITH THE ORIGINAL DARK RED UNBOXED LABEL WITH SILVER WRITING,PRODUCED IN 1964, A VERY EARLY PRESSING INDEED AND IN THE HEAVY VINYL,BUT WHAT MAKES THIS ONE EVEN MORE SPECIAL IS HAS THE TRIPLE OF RARE GOODIES ON IT.
1) IT HAS THE MONA CREDIT ON THE SLEEVE.
2) IT HAS THE MONA CREDIT TO THE RECORD LABEL
3) IT ALSO HAS THE WRONG WORDING TO THE TITLE ON TRACK 5 SIDE 2 WHICH SHOULD SAY YOU CAN MAKE IT IF YOU TRY AND INSTEAD READS "YOU CAN MAKE IT YOU TRY"
TO GET EVEN ONE OF THESE THREE YOU GETTING A QUITE RARE RECORD BUT TO GET ALL THREE IS VERY RARE INDEED.

THE RECORD ITSELF STILL RETAINS IT'S NICE SHEEN IT DOES HAVE A FEW VERY MINOR SURFACE MARKS ONLY SHOWING IN STRONG LIGHT AND NOT DETRACTING FROM THE OVERALL SOUND QUALITY AT ALL. IT HAS NO SKIPS OR JUMPS AND JUST SOME VERY MINOR CLICKING AND THIS ONLY BEING BETWEEN TRACKS, GENERALLY A VERY NICE COPY OF THIS GREAT ALBUM.
THE LABELS ARE THE DEEP RED DECCA UNBOXED VERSION, IN VERY GOOD CLEAN CONDITION, WITH THE USUAL LIGHT SPIDER MARKS,THE CENTRE HOLE IS PERFECT, AND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT ON AN EARLY ALBUM IT HAS THE KT TAX CODE ON IT, THERE IS NO WRITING OF ANY KIND ON EITHER LABEL,AND AS PREVIOUSLY STATED TRACK FOUR HAS THE CREDIT OF MONA RATHER THAN THE LATER " I NEED YOU BABY"
THE FRONT COVER IS EXTREMLEY GOOD WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF SMALL CREASES TO THE LAMINATE ( BY MICKS CHEST ) AND SOME SMALL ONES TOO THE EDGES IN PLACES. THEN JUST SOME MINOR SCUFFS TO THE EDGES THE CORNERS ALL BEING REASONABLY SQUARE.
THE BACK COVER IS ALSO VERY REASONABLE, QUITE CLEAN, SOME BROWNING, IT IS THE FLIP OVER SLEEVE PRODUCED BY MAC NEILL PRESS IN LONDON S.E.1. ON THE FLIP OVER EDGES THERE IS A SMALL PORTION MISSING (BEEN PULLED OFF ) ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER, (SEE PHOTO) ALSO HAS SLIGHT SCUFFING TO THE EDGES.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS PROBABLY AN ORIGINAL, ITS A PLAIN WHITE ONE, NOT POLYLINED, AND GIVES DETAILS OF RECORD CARE, PRODUCED BY EMI.
THE SPINE IS IN GOOD CONDITION, REASONABLY SQUARE AND READABLE.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THE PICTURE YOU WILL FIND OF THE RED LABEL IS NOT ACTUALLY MY PICTURE IT WAS BORROWED FROM A PREVIOUS ADVERT AS MY CAMERA WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO GET A CLOSE FOCUS OF MY ACTUAL LABEL (THANK YOU RAYMOND)
IM NOT A RECORD DEALER AS SUCH AND I DO NOT USE THE GRADING SYSTEM USUALLY BUT I GET PEOPLE ASKING SO I WILL TRY TO ASSESS WHAT I WOULD USE IN THIS CASE AND I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S CERTAINLY BETTER THAN VERY GOOD + AND BORDERING ON EXCELLENT - PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THIS IS A PERSONAL GUIDE AND TO COVER ALL BIDDERS I WILL GIVE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH MY ASSESSMENT, (LESS RETURN POSTAGE COSTS ) WHICH I WILL WANT TO BE RECORDED IN CASE OF LOSS OR DAMAGE.
CHECK MY FEEDBACK YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THAT MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE ALWAYS VERY ACCURATE.
ALL MY RECORDS COME TO YOU IN A PROFFESIONAL CARD RECORD MAILING SLEEVE, NOT CHEAP BUT IT PROTECTS YOUR INVESMENT AND MY CREDABILITY.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO KNOW E.MAIL ME AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I READ MY E.MAILS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.
