1964 BRITISH *MONO* UNBOXED ORIGINAL ! ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
The ROLLING STONES
RARE 1964 =ORIGINAL= MAROON "DECCA" as issued in the United Kingdom in 1964 with clarifoil laminated sleeve with "Flap-back" seams per the old style UK '60s releases. This one, just 55 years of age!
The 1964 first ROLLING STONES album...
Brilliant - vibrant UK production far surpasses the USA (etc) pressings ... here, a surviving original MONO (EAR FFRR = full frequency Range Recording)
=see details below song listings=
PLAYS CLEAN ! The MONO MIXES are HUGE with thick punch in the production, much different from the 'enhanced' stereo release.
Includes a great take on "MONA" the classic Bo Diddley bea-trock stomper which is NOT on the USA issue.

Yes, even the Rolling Stones were once young and hungry. Released in 1964, the group's U.K. debut is an urgent slab of hardcore blues-wailing rave-ups by a great r&b/beat punk sound. "Now I've Got A Witness" is basically a raver version of adapted from "Can I Get A Witness" (a version of which appears toward the end of this album), while "Little By Little" is- a very derivative uptown R&B/blues shuffle. "Tell Me" has Phil Spector's fingerprints all over it, with its teen-drama lyrics and swooning melody. "Little By Little" is full of bemused attitude, with plenty of gin-joint instrumentation and a great drawling vocal from Jagger, with a wild guitar solo thrown in the middle. "Tell Me" may be derivative, but it shows that the 'Stones knew how to maximize the effect of their favorite cliches: It's an incredibly catchy song, with a soulful chorus and a great twanged-out guitar part. It also proves that even when Mick was mewling and pleading for his girl to take him back, he still sounded way cooler than anybody you'll ever meet. Of course the rest of the album is steeped in raw primal cookers that never sounded better in their original monaural recordings, vibrant, bright and electrified!
