Description
THE ROLLING STONES-THE 1ST ALBUM.
THE BAND'S CLASSIC,GROUNDBREAKING DEBUT 1964 LP IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!
AN ORIGINAL UK 1964 MONO ISSUE WITH THICK VINYL AND UNBOXED DECCA LOGOS AND GROOVED LABELS: LK.4605.
2A/3A MATRIXES-THE SECOND PRESSING BUT STILL WITHIN 1964 HAVING THE LONGER VERSION OF"TELL ME"AND THE COVER CREDIT FOR"MONA"AS"I NEED YOU BABY".
THIS LP WAS OF COURSE A MASSIVE SELLER IN 1964 BUT MOST COPIES SOLD WOULD BE BADLY DAMAGED AFTER REPEATED PLAYS-THIS COPY HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS WITH REALLY QUIET VINYL AND AMAZING BASS+CRISPNESS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE CRACKLE!
NICE SHINY SURFACES-NOT DULL AND CLOUDY LIKE MOST THAT SURVIVE!
LATER PRESSES HAD DIFFERENT MATRIX NUMBERS AND ALTERNATIVE LABEL PRINTING AND LAYOUT! THIS COPY WOULD HAVE BEEN BOUGHT WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE BUT HARDLY USED!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT,THIS LP HAS THE ORIGINAL"HANDLING/HANDLE WITH GREAT CARE"INNER SLEEVE AND OF COURSE THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER PRINTED BY MACNEILL PRESS HAS IT'S FLIPBACKS-LATER ONES DID NOT HAVE ANY!
THE COVER HAS A SHARP AND EASY TO READ SPINE,BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN-SEE THE BACK OF THE COVER IN THE SECOND PHOTO!!!
NO WRITING,NO RIPS,NO MAJOR STAINS-JUST A LITTLE AT THE BACK EDGES,NO REPAIRS!A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT STILL FEWER THAN MOST.
JUST A TOUCH OF THE FLIPBACK AT THE BOTTOM HAS BEEN"CAUGHT"ON OTHER COVERS AND IS CREASED BUT THIS IS VERY MINIMAL!
JUST COMPARE WITH OTHER COPIES AROUND AND SEE IF YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER FROM OVER 46 YEARS AGO AS GOOD.
I HAVE PLAYED THE LP TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY SOUND FAULTS.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER, NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS,NO SWISHES etc etc.PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY!!!!!!!
AMERICAN COLLECTORS WILL KNOW ALL TOO WELL HOW MUCH BETTER ENGLISH COPIES WERE COMPARED TO THE HISSY,BRITTLE USA ONES!!!
THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
ROUTE 66
I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU
HONEST I DO
I NEED YOU BABY
NOW I'VE GOT A WITNESS
LITTLE BY LITTLE
I'M A KING BEE
CAROL
TELL ME(YOU'RE COMING BACK)
CAN I GET A WITNESS
YOU CAN MAKE IT IF YOU TRY
WALKING THE DOG
********************************************************************
A SUPERB LP FROM ALMOST 47 YEARS AGO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER!
A WELL CARED FOR COPY-ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS!
TOTALLY WONDERFUL SONGS!
THE MAJORITY OF 1964 PRESSINGS WERE PLAYED ON RADIOGRAMS,PORTABLE PLAYERS AND EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL FANS WOULD HAVE PLAYED IT DOZENS OF TIMES,THIS LP HAS HAD HARDLY ANY PLAYS AT ALL!
1960s EQUIPMENT WAS QUITE CRUDE-HEAVY TONEARMS AND MANY BUYERS UNAWARE OF THE NEED TO CHANGE THE STYLI ON A REGULAR BASIS.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN UPGRADER/ULTIMATE COPY THAN THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!
A REALISTIC £40 STARTING PRICE INCLUDING FREE RECORDED DELIVERY POSTAGE TO THE UK!
EUROPE £5 REST OF THE WORLD £8
IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.
THESE RECORDINGS ARE TIMELESS.PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST ROLLING STONES ALBUM OF THE 1960s THAT STILL SOUNDS FRESH-45+YEARS LATER!
A ROLLING STONES COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!
I HAVE NOT FOUND A 1964 EDITION OF THIS LP AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.
THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A BRILLIANT LP LIKE THIS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!
NO CLEANING WAS NEEDED,THE SURFACES GLEAM,NO FINGERPRINTS,PATCHES OR BAD STORAGE ISSUES,NO WARPING,NO SCUFFS,NO SCRATCHES,NO FADING etc.
PLEASE LOOK AT ALL OF THE PHOTOS!
NO RIPS,NO SPILLAGES,NO STAINING,NO LAMINATION PEELING,JUST A FEW EDGE CREASES.
EVEN THE INNER SLEEVE IS VERY CLEAN!
DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER 45+ YEARS AGO.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.
THOSE THAT DID WERE OFTEN SCARED OF HAVING THEM STOLEN OR BORROWED WITHOUT RETURN AND WOULD WRITE NAMES ON THE COVER-JUST COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR LPs ON EBAY-THE MAJORITY HAVE WRITING,SELLOTAPE REPAIR OR WORSE STILL DRAWINGS AND DOODLES ADDED.
THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST COPY I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS.
CHECK OUT YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?
IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!
I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE! THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS!

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.
IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THESE ARE GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!
A VERY NICE THICK UK 1964 PRESSING!
MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO MAJOR SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT!
NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!
Just how many were preserved like this one??!!!!!!
The VINYL is THICK,Superb,Rich,warm and full of bass, with a natural warmth from ALMOST 47 YEARS AGO!
In the 1960s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.
MOST ROLLING STONES FANS WERE OFTEN USING DREADFUL EQUIPMENT!
The 1960s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!!
To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!
THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP!
These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!
Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE ROLLING STONES and always will be!
GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!
I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.
There is NO spindle wear.
Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often LATER reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.
MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER LP-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!
THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!
REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
Realistic £40 STARTING price with no annoying reserve.
HARDLY ANY LPs OF THIS VINTAGE SELL FOR LESS AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS COPY IS!
DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME!
THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
Postage is FREE AND RECORDED DELIVERY TO THE UK -2ND CLASS.SOLID PACKING FAR BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF SELLERS-LOOK AT THE FEEDBACK FOR PROOF! YOU WILL GET IT IN FINE SHAPE!!
