Description
On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!) by The Rolling Stones called 'Rolling Stones' and is a 1964 MONO UK EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1st Pressing!
THIS IS SIMPLY A MASSIVE RARITY! THIS IS THE EXTREMELY RARE 1ST EVER PRESSING OF THIS LP! THIS LP PLAYS THE MEGA RARE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME'! THIS WAS VERY QUICKLY CHANGED TO THE STANDARD '4.06' PRESSING OF 'TELL ME' ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS AND ONLY A HANDFUL OF THESE LPS LEAKED OUT WITH THE '2.52' VERSION! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY HARD TO FIND AS A 1ST PRESSING! IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ON THIS 1ST PRESSING - THE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' IS NOT ONLY SHORTER THAN THE STANDARD LATER '4.06' VERSION - BUT A TOTALLY DIFFERENT RECORDING! IT SOUNDS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND IS SUPERB!
BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP VERY VERY SPECIAL INDEED IS THAT IT HAS 1A/1A MATRIXES!
THE WORD 'RARE' DOESNT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THIS LP WITH THESE MATRIXES! IN FACT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN TOO WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT 1A/1As DIDNT EVEN EXIST! BUT HERE IT IS! AN ABSOLUTELY GENIUNE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH 1A/1A MATRIXES! YOU CANNOT GET EARLIER - OR RARER! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS MEGA RARE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESSING IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION! THIS RECORD PLAYS BRILLIANTLY THROUGHOUT - AND THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TRACK 'TELL ME' PLAYS SUPERBLY! THE LP ALSO HAS ITS ORIGINAL 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'HANDLING/PLAYING' INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'FLIPBACK' LAMINATED COVER!
IT IS SERIOUSLY HARD TO FIND ANY 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WHICH PLAYS THE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' - BUT FINDING THE 'EARLIEST' POSSIBLE 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH 1A/1A MATRIXES IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE AND IT SURELY HAS TO BE REGARDED AS A GENIUNE 'ONE OFF' OPPORTUNITY!!!! IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER) BEFORE YOU GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO OWN ANOTHER 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH 1A/1A MATRIXES - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY! This is an ORIGINAL Decca UK MONO 'Earliest' 1st Pressing and is in BRILLIANT condition! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 4605 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press UNBOXED 'ridged' Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 'earliest' 1st pressing! All the tracks are pure quality Rolling Stones at their best! Any fan of The Rolling Stones, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!
The record labels are not too bad condition for the records age (see pictures) with no writing, slight creasing, slight yellowing through age. Back of the cover has a slight tear and the spines are not too bad condition for its age. The vinyl is in brilliant condition and it is SO rare to find this 1st Pressing like this!!!!
The LP has NO scratches, a few light hairlines, 2 or 3 light scufflines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! It is great to find that the record plays EVEN BETTER than the visual with NO pops, only a very very few mega low level isolated clicks, no sticking, no jumps, and barely any crackle at all! And the all important track 'Tell Me' plays AWESOMELY! There is no distortion and no groovewear either! The record must grade Very Good+ if not better - with the playing grade better still! THIS RECORD PLAYS BRILLIANTLY!
The record also has its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Handling/Playing' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition! IT IS MASSIVELY RARE TO EVER FIND A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH THE MEGA RARE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' AND THIS ONE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MOST THAT TURN UP, AND PLAYS BRILLIANTLY! AND OF COURSE THIS ONE IS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1ST PRESSING WITH 1A/1A MATRIXES - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS SERIOUSLY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
HAVE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY A MONO 1964 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESSING OF "ROLLING STONES" BY THE ROLLING STONES, IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!
If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask. I will gladly try to answer them as soon as I can.
I have a reserve price set at an average of what the record has sold for in the past, which I think is a fair price.
The Album will be very well packaged and sent by Special Delivery in the UK to the winning bidder as soon as cleared payment is received.
I will post Worldwide, please email me for shipping cost and I will find out for you. I have put £25 as postage, but please contact me for postage to your destination. Insurance will be included in postage and it will have to be Signed for upon delivery.
Good luck.
Please remember, this LP is the very rare sought after version with the 1A/1A matrices. This is NOT the 2A/2A or later versions that are more commonly seen on Ebay. This 1st pressing of the LP has sold previously on Ebay for between £600 and £1200 and there are only a few of these around. A great addition to any collection.
