I've been going thru my massive vinyl record collection recently and pulling out some LPs that I thought that someone else would want for their collection. I've been collecting records for over 40 years and it's time to pass some of them on to the next generation of collectors.
This week on EBay I am offering up this nice clean copy of a rare 7" 'Collector' EP record of early Rolling Stones outtakes. 
This 7" 45 'Collector' record has no official title, but is commonly known to Stones collectors as "Pay Your Dues."
It's a very nice, clean, crisp copy I purchased 'new' back in the early 1980s.
This is a 3-Song EP and includes:
"HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR MOTHER BABY?..." "BLUES JAM" (CIRCA 1963) "EVERYBODY PAYS THEIR DUES"
It has a nice, pale blue, 2-sided picture sleeve with an early 1967 promo photo of the 'psychedelicized' band on the cover. 
The picture is by Rock photographer Dezo Hoffman and taken at a Press conference the band did in Green Park, London in January of 1967, announcing their trip to America to be on the Ed Sullivan TV show.
That series of B&W photos that Hoffman took of the band that day, hanging out in the park, are some of my personal favorites. The Stones were on top of the Pop world back then. Brian and Keith look cool and confident. Brian was at his peak around then and was the ultimate Rock star. Things would quickly change. The band looks hip, stylish, modern, and ready to conquer America.
I purchased this EP back in the day, mostly because of the cover shot, but I was also a Stones completist and collector.  
It was obviously cold out. Brian and Keith are bundled up in cool hats and furry jackets. Brian loved that white hat and wore it often. Brian is all velvet, from head to toe, and Keith is wearing what looks like a sheep over his suit, with his Roger McGuinn influenced 'Granny Glasses', which were all the rage around that time.
~~~~~~~ This is the original first release of this 'collector' EP. It was later re-pressed with a different photo insert. The song 'Everybody Pays Their Dues' is also known by Stones collectors as 'Everybody Pays Your Dues' and 'Did Everybody Pay Their Dues?'
This is a "Beggars Banquet" outtake, recorded at Olympic Studios in the Spring of 1968. The music is basically very similar to 'Street Fighting Man' but with completely different lyrics, which gives it a very different feel.
It's, mostly, Keith song about the predicament of Native American Indians having 'paid their dues' and trying to get better recognition from the Government. Keith had learned about the Indian's struggles from activists during stops in Omaha, Salt Lake City and the Pacific Northwest during their summer 1966 US Tour promoting 'Aftermath'. It's an odd subject for a song by a British Rock band.
 Keith talked about the studio technique and the odd recording methods used for this song in his Famous August 1971 Interview in Rolling Stone Magazine.
This was all done physically, by hand, and with lots of effort back in those simpler Analog studio days. The Acoustic Guitars were heavily compressed and there was a ton of Reverb added. The Master tape was copied to "eighth-inch" cassette tape and then passed thru a Mono Cassette machine multiple times to get the compression effect and basic backing track. 
This song was created in the studio in the 'opposite' manner of most recordings. Most songs, then and now, laid down the drums and rhythm track first, but Keith was in a strange mind-set in those days.
The lead acoustic guitars and the core of the song were laid down first, condensed down to a backing track, then Charlie's odd delayed drumming was added on top, along with more of Keith playing rhythm guitar. It gives the song a cool vibe, a 'different' sound and a swinging back beat. Very unusual and 'complicated' for the time.
The odd studio sound heard on 'Parachute Woman' from "Beggar's Banquet" was created the same way. I think this is the only version or 'take' of this song known to collectors.
I first heard it on a 1970s tape that was making the tapers circuit called "The Sterling Demos." It later showed up on the 'Collector' record "Diverse Harmonics" and this odd little 45 EP.
~~~~~~~~~~ "Have You Seen Your Mother" is a studio outtake. It was recorded in the Summer of 1966, at RCA Studios in Hollywood, during the "Between the Buttons" sessions.
Keith wrote this on Piano, rare for him back then. It's said that this was the first song he ever wrote on piano, not guitar. There is no piano on this version that I can hear, but he does "play" the piano on the Ed Sullivan version which is cool to see.
This was the first song by the Stones to include a horn section, apparently inspired by Ike & Tina Turner's band and recent singles at the time. Ike and Tina later opened for the Stones on the 1969 Tour.
This version doesn't have the screaming feedback at the beginning and end, suggested and added by Engineer Glyn Johns, which made the song so powerful on radio back then. It's a studio outtake.
The band hated the mixing and final editing on the original single. The story is that it was rushed out to be ready for their 1966 Ed Sullivan appearance. Whether they hated it or not, their Sullivan performance of the song made this single rocket up the charts, making the top ten.
The US Single had the classic picture of the Stones in drag, wearing dresses, on the back cover. It raised a lot of questions and people wondered what the song was all about.
The famous photo was taken by Jerry Schatzberg and there was even some early film footage taken. The short film was one of the first 'Music Videos' ever made.
After the photo shoot, the band walked around NYC dressed in drag, and rumour says that they even went into a local Bar dressed like that.
Keith has said not to read too much into it "You must listen to it and place your own interpretation on the lyric." 
~~~~~~~~ The "Blues Jam" is great, early, bluesy Stones. It's upbeat, with Piano (Ian?) and lots of lead guitar dueling back and forth. Basically it's like an instrumental version of "Andrew's Blues' or "Can I get a Witness". No vocals, just a fast, fun jam.
Not sure when or where this was recorded. It's a studio outtake, not live. Probably done at Regent Sound in London, in early 1964, but possibly from 1963 like the sleeve suggests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sound on this EP is a little flat, certainly not audiophile, but it's still a nice little 'Collectors' EP to add to any Rolling Stones collection. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONDITION: I tried to show good hi-resolution photos of the sleeve, 'labels' and vinyl in my pictures. I purchased this EP 'new' in the early 80s, nearly 40 years ago, in Greenwich Village, on one of my regular stops while crate digging in those days, and have taken great care of it since. Those were the days when there were a dozen record stores on St Mark's Place in the East Village and these type of records were cheap and everywhere. 
VINYL: The vinyl looks great. Clean and Bright. No scuffs, scrapes or hairlines. Visually fine. The only 'flaw' is that the vinyl isn't very high quality and there is slight 'background' noise, but that's how these 'collector' records were in the 80s.
I tried to show some close-up pictures of the vinyl to show how good it looks. It's been in a separate clean sleeve since I purchased it. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
LABELS: This is pressed with simple plain white labels. No printing. The labels are clean and bright. No marks or damage. The center adapter hole is still sharp and clean, suggesting minimal playing and my careful handling. Nothing fancy.
SLEEVE: The blue picture sleeve is in very nice condition. Some very mild edge wear, but quite nice. There is the 'outline' of the record showing or bulging, but no rubbing or ringwear. This has been sleeved and stored properly for years, and is still fantastic. Clean and bright. The corners are sharp and crisp. No splits. NO names, marks, writing or signs of prior ownership. 
You can see from my pictures it's quite nice. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** NOTE: I'm selling this rare 'Collector' record "AS IS" and "NO RETURN". It's rare and as described and I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Add this fantastic Rolling Stones 'Collector' EP to your collection today. It would make a great addition to any Classic Rock or Stones vinyl record collection.

Please look at all the high-resolution pictures I added. They are all my own and are of the actual record being sold. The pictures are part of the description and can show small details, label variations, and condition better than I can put into words.

I take my time listening, researching, grading, listing and packaging. I will NOT sell any record that I personally would not want in my collection.
