THE ROLLING STONES
NO. 2
UNBOXED DECCA MONO 
THIS IS THE STONES AND THEIR 2ND UK STUDIO ALBUM, AND THERE ARE SOME EPIC TRACKS ON HERE !!!! THIS CARRIES ON FROM THEIR FIRST ALBUM, WITH A MIXTURE OF AMERICAN BLUES AND SOUL, AND RHYTHM AND BLUES. THIS EARLY UK 1ST PRESS COMES WITH THE  EARLIEST 'BLINDMAN' TEXT ON THE BACK COVER, WHICH WAS LATER REMOVED ON LATER PRINTINGS !!!! THIS REALLY PLAYS AMAZING, HAS THE GROOVED LABELS, AND PRESSED ON THICK DECCA VINYL AND COMES FROM MY VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
NOW AS MENTIONED THE AUDIO PLAYS AMAZING AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW, BUT THE VISUAL IS NOT THAT GOOD. BUT THE GOOD THING IS THAT WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY, THE VINYL SHOWS NOTHING, BUT ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, THANK YOU. 
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 UK  1ST PRESS  ::  XARL-6619- 2A  ::  XARL-6620 -1A .

ON THE RED UNBOXED DECCA LABEL :: LK . 4661 .
THIS IS ALSO THE EARLIER GROOVED DECCA LABEL .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL, AND EARLIEST WITH THE 'BLINDMAN' TEXT ON THE BACK TOP LEFT, WHICH WAS LATER REMOVED ON LATER PRINTINGS. THIS FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK IS PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY JAMES UPTON Ltd BIRMINGHAM & LONDON. NOW AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS NOT THE BEST OF COVERS, ALTHOUGH THIS IS A VERY SOLID COVER WITH NICE SPINE AND EDGES WITH  A TINY BIT OF DAMAGE ON THE SPINE EDGE IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BACK. NO LAMINATE LIFT, BUT THERE ARE SOME VARIOUS SIZED LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND SOME WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES ON THE SPINE AND EDGES. THE BACK HAS SOME AGEING AND AGE RELATED MARKS, AND FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION PLEASE CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS, AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE EVERY MARK, THANK YOU. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND GOOD THING, NO SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING, SO I WOULD GRADE   :: VG- .  

VINYL :: THERE ARE NO AUDIO ISSUES ANYWHERE, SO NO STICKS, JUMPS OR STICKS, AND THIS REALLY HAS OUTSTANDING CLEAR MONO AUDIO, AS IT IS PRESSED ON EARLY 1960 HEAVYWEIGHT DECCA VINYL !!!! IF I DID NOT DO A VISUAL DESCRIPTION, AND WHEN THE VINYL ARRIVED AND IT WAS PLAYED WITH OUT LOOKING AT IT THEN YOU WOULD BE VERY IMPRESSED AND VERY PLEASED. THAT IS THE BEST WAY I THINK TO DESCRIBE THIS VINYL, AS THE VISUAL SIDE OF THINGS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THE VINYL IS NOT THE BEST LOOKING. MIND YOU AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE. SO REALLY ONLY COSMETIC MARKS WHICH HAVE NO AFFECT ON THE AUDIO. SO IF YOU DO NOT MIND SOME COSMETICS THEN YOU WILL GET A FANTASTIC PLAYING VINYL. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME VARIOUS SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND TWO LONG SCUFF MARKS ON SIDE 2 WHICH ARE ALSO COSMETIC. THERE IS A BAND OF TINY COSMETIC SCUFF LINES ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, AND SOME VARIOUS OTHER SMALL, TINY COSMETIC MARKS.....ONCE AGAIN IF YOU DID NOT LOOK AT THE VINYL BEFORE PLAYING YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN THERE WERE COSMETICS. I SUPPOSE ANOTHER WAY OF DESCRIBING THE VINYL IS, "LIKE A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING". IT DOES PLAY AWESOME AND WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. NOW ON THE AUDIO, ALL I HEARD WAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1, WHICH IS NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO. WHILE ON SIDE 2, A FAINT POP BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, AND TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 4 AND TRACK 5, AND AGAIN THESE ARE NOT ON THE AUDIO !!!! I COULD GO ON ALL NIGHT ABOUT THE AUDIO, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX+ . THIS IS IN NO WAY OVER GRADED AND I WOULD SAY SLIGHTLY UNDER GRADED !!!!

LABELS :: LOVELY AND CLEAN, WITH SOME  SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  ::  EX . 

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER :: VERY AGED SO A VERY OFF WHITE COLOUR, BUT NO SPLITS, AND THE NAME, 'CARL' WRITTEN ON THE BACK. NOT SURE WHO HE WAS, PERHAPS HE PUT HIS NAME ON THERE AT ONE OF MY WILD PARTIES BACK IN THE DAY, HA HA !!!!  :: VG- . 

GREAT ALBUM, GREAT TRACKS, PLAYS AWESOME, BUT VISUALLY ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF VARIOUS COSMETICS. IF YOU WANT THE VINYL JUST FOR THE AUDIO, THEN YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN ANY WAY !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!  ROSE.
