. VERY RARE LP by the Rolling Stones
Rolling Stones (Debut LP)
Original 1964 1st Press with 'MONA' + Spelling Error Sleeve! .
.
On offer here is a very rare and collectible copy of the Rolling Stones self-titled debut LP from 1964. This copy carries the mega-rare sleeve which incorrectly lists the song 'I Need you Baby' as 'Mona', and also mis-spells 'You Can Make It If You Try' as 'You Can Make It You Try'.
Starting out as a Rhythm and Blues band the Stones quickly became one of the biggest bands on the 60's and were continually referred to as the Anti-Beatles because of their unmatching clothes, raucious lyrics and flamboyant stage shows. Now, over 40 years later the group shows no signs of stopping and have firmly cemented their place in the book of rock legends.
Their debut LP came out amid a flurry of fans. Decent copies are very hard to find because the copies were bought to be listened to and taken to parties. Dancing teenagers were prone to knocking record players and scratching records. Fan played their copies over and over again, wearing them into the ground. Today hardly any original copies survived!
Some really early copies of this album were released with 2 errors on the cover. The first was that "I Need You Baby" was incorrectly titled as 'Mona' on both the disc and the cover. Not only that, but also, on the cover, the song 'You Can Make It If You Try' has been mis-spelled as "You Can Make It You Try", missing out the 'If'. The Mona copies of this LP are hard enough to find, but the Mona AND spelling error sleeves are near impossible!
Extremely hard to find and very, very collectible!! Would look great in any record collection! Comes with a corrected copy of the disc that's in a beautiful condition!

. VG- The cover is holding up well but is showing its age a little. The front cover is lovely and clean with a nice colour and has some light creases running around the edges. There's also a little disc impression with a crease in the top-right corner. The top and bottom seams have a few light creases running through them but haven't split or anything. The spine again has some light creases running through it but hasn't split and is 100% fully legible. The back cover has yellowed a little with a little more wear and creasing around the mouthedge. There's a little rubbing on the groups name and a little ringwear. The overflaps have a few creases in them but are both stuck tight. The Front Cover The Back Cover The Gatefold .
. VG+/EX- The vinyl has a lovely shine to it and the playing surface has just a few light scuffs in places and nothing more. The disc plays through great with a lovely, clear sound and with a little background noise that can only really be heard during the really quiet / silent parts. There is a little mark on side 2 that runs through the final three tracks that causes a very light crackle when the needle passes over it, but apart from that the disc plays through without a problem. Nice copy! Side 1 Side 2 .
. EX Both labels are clean, crisp and clear with a little spindlewear and a little, light wear around the centerhole. Beautiful labels! Side 1 Side 2 .
. A close-up of the back cover showing the 'Mona' and 'You Can Make It You Try' errors. None None None None .

UK PRICES INCLUDE RECORDED DELIVERY COST. .
.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL! All payment MUST be received within 10 days of the auction closing. If payment is not received and I have had no contact from you at all then a 'Non Paying Bidder' dispute will be opened. If you need any time getting payment together then please just let me know what's going on and something can be sorted out.
Refunds
Everybody's grading is different; one persons NM might be another persons VG. If you are at all unhappy with the record then please email me and let me know for a full refund plus the postage cost to get it back to me. The record must get back to me in the exact same condition it left however else this offer is void.
Insurance
All items sent within the UK are sent Recorded Delivery as standard. If a record sells highly I'll put up the option for special delivery in case you which to have it sent in this way. All LPs are sent overseas to places outside the UK are sent uninsured as standard small packet airmail. If you live outside the UK and win a record for a lot of money it is highly recommended that insurance is paid for - the option will be there in the invoice I'll send after the auction ends. If no insurance is taken and the LP is lost in transit there is sadly very little, if anything I can do.
Items Lost in the Mail
If your LP hasn't gotten to you and you're at all worried then please don't hesitate to get in touch so that it can be sorted out. Most likely it's just because I haven't been able to get to the post office due to work commitments. If however it has been posted out and not arrived then I will do everything I can to chase it up and try and find it again. Every record sent within the UK is sent recorded delivery so if it does go walkies there's always that to fall back on and chase up. Unless otherwise requested or paid for all overseas items are sent standard airmail so if they disappear there is very little, if anything I can do. I collect proof of purchase with every item I post.
Items Damaged in the Mail
I professionally pack all of my records between strong 12" corrugated stiffeners and sent in a sturdy cardboard LP mailing envelope for full protection whilst in transit. In all my years of buying and selling on eBay only one record I have sent out has arrived broken at its destination (and that was only because the postman obviously couldn't read the large 'FRAGILE' and 'DO NOT BEND' marks on it as he folded it up to put through the letterbox!!). Since the fault of the breakage lies with the postal service your best bet is to tackle them about the problem. I'll help any way I can.

The grading system I use when determining the condition of my vinyl
The 'Record Collectors' Grading System.
Taken from the Rare Record Price Guide book Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertisied as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
