Description

I am having a clear out of my loft and have found many items to sell, some of the items have been in my family for a long time but all has to go as we need the room.    

I have tried to describe the items as accurately as possible listing any faults observed and the items condition but I will also provide a fair no quibbles returns policy should there be any problems or faults.

Thanks for looking    

Record description: The Rolling stones no 2 album, a chance to own this piece of iconic history, has the infamous blind man text on the back cover that was later censored after some understandable outrage see below for full more detail.

Vinyl condition: VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Sleeve condition: GOOD: The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc

The groups second British album actually appeared after their second US LP mostly owing to the fact that the British rock & roll audience wasnt focused on the long-player as a medium (Singles and EPs were the driving force of the business in England then). 

It uses the same David Bailey cover shot that had graced the US issued 12 X 5 album two months earlier but only four songs (Under The Boardwalk Suzie Q Grown Up Wrong and Time Is On My Side) overlap on the two albums.
Rather Rolling Stones No. 2 offered seven songs that werent to make it out in America until four months later on The Rolling Stones Now! It also incluudes one of the groups best blues covers their version of Muddy Waters I Cant Be Satisfied which wasnt released in America until 1973 and features some killer slide playing by Brian Jones. The U.K. LP was originally released in mono only & took forever to come out on CD in this form.

The original cover design found here carries sleeve notes that include the text: "If you dont have bread see that blind man knock him on the head steal his wallet and low and behold you have the loot if you put in the boot good another one sold!"
Not one of Mr Loog Oldhams wisest lyrical outpourings and they naturally caused uproar in January 1965 even to the extent of being debated in the UK Parliament. This was a bit too much for Decca and an alternate version of the back artwork was hastily prepared & the few they had left in the factories were overpasted with the new artwork. Most first issue sleeves continued to carry the text as they were already in the shops.
