DISCOGRAPHY: 

The Rolling Stones was the debut studio album by the Rolling Stones, released by Decca Records in the UK in April 1964. The American edition of the LP, with a slightly different track list, came out on London Records in May 1964, subtitled England's Newest Hit Makers, which later became its official title.

Upon its release, The Rolling Stones became one of 1964's biggest sellers in the UK, staying at No. 1 for 12 weeks. It reached No. 11 in the US, going gold in the process. 

Sean Egan from BBC Music wrote of the record in 2012: "It's a testament to the group’s brilliance that the result was still the best album to emerge from the early 1960’s British blues boom…the ensemble lovingly deliver some of their favorite shots of rhythm 'n' blues." 

The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and it was voted No. 418 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.

WHY IS THIS ALBUM LISTED AS "USED" INSTEAD OF "NEW"? 

I get asked this question a lot. The answer is simple: NEW, by definition, means a recent production of something that has never been previously owned. All of my records are original vintage vinyls that have all been previously owned and therefore must be considered used despite never being opened. 

This is called "USED NEW OLD STOCK" which means that the album was previously owned, but it was

NEVER BEEN OPENED OR REMOVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER'S ORIGINAL FACTORY SEALED PLASTIC SHRINK WRAP. If you still have questions, feel free to send me a message.

PLEASE REFERENCE PHOTOS FOR ACCURATE LOOK AT CONDITION

Please take care to look at all photographs very closely as they are the best accounting of the record's condition. I took care to provide the best true-to-life photographs I could, including angles from the album's front, back, and sides as well as close-ups of its corners and any notable flaws. It is the buyer's responsibility to review them closely, so there are no surprises when the album arrives.

I will get back to you within 24 hours.

ABOUT MY RECORDS

I inherited all of my vinyl from the private collection of a 25+ year London Records Executive who worked for the label in New York City during the 60s, 70s, and into the late-80s. He held a senior role at the label, which allowed him unique insider access to many original first press editions when they were first released in the US as well as some rare test pressings. He worked directly on US marketing and promotion for The Rolling Stones throughout most of the 1960s when they were at the height of their fame, which is why I have so many early pressings of their albums. The collection overall is vast and diverse with a myriad of albums and artists spanning more than 30-40 years and over a dozen music genres. The lion’s share fall into three main categories: Rock, Classical Symphony & Opera, and Jazz.
