The Rolling Stones are an English band whose blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll-infused music became popular during the "British Invasion" in the early 1960s!!.

  The band was formed in London in 1962 by Brian Jones, and eventually was led by the songwriting partnership of singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards!.

 During their 1969 American tour, the Stones were introduced and have often been referred to subsequently as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World", and their early image of unkempt and surly youth is one that many musicians still emulate. The band have released 55 albums of original work[ and compilations, and have had 37 top-10 singles They have sold over 200 million albums worldwide!!!

On 12 July 1962 the group played its first gig at the Marquee club in London, billed as "The Rollin' Stones". The line-up was Jagger, Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart on piano, Taylor on bass and Mick Avoryon drums!.

 Jones intended for the band to play primarily Chicago blues, but Jagger and Richards brought the rock 'n roll of Chuck BerrY and Bo Diddley to the band After shifting formations, bassist Bill Wyman would join later that December and drummer Charlie Watts the following January and would became the Stones' long standing rhythm section In June 1963 the band released their first UK single, a cover of Berry's "Come On".

The Beatles recommended the Stones to future manager Andrew Loog Oldham, and George Harrison who encouraged Decca Records to sign the band!..

 Their first EP, The Rolling Stones and album (also titled The Rolling Stones, except in the US where it was titled England's Newest Hit Makers), were comprised primarily of covers drawn from the band's live repertoire. After signing with Decca, the Stones began touring the U.K. and Europe. On their first tour of England, the Stones were packaged with American stars including Ike and Tina Turner, Bo Diddley, The Ronettes, The Everly Brothers and Little Richard!!!!!!.

THE VINYL

This is the original and heavier and thicker\deeper grooved type of vinyl only found on these early pressings!!! Later press were much more flimsier and less robust.

On visual inspection the vinyl lays perfectly flat on the turntable and still retains its original sheen from new. On initial inspection of the playing surface, I can't see any deep needle or audio sounding marks at least nothing that would cause any clicks or pops. Unbeleivable to find on an original 46 year old Rolling Stones record!. Any marks that could possibly be seen angled to strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal and possibly minor surface scuffs only, non audio sounding! Importantly (no)  audio sounding marks !!

The audio quality

I have played this vinyl track for track four times at very loud volume prior to listing, on a top system using a dedicated mono cartridge. In my opinion it is obvious to me that visualy and audibly from the moment that the needle hits the playing surface that this vinyl has had very very minimal , perhapes only a few plays only! A rare thing to see or find on early Stones albums!

The audio is awesome cristal clear and vibrant through out! (IN FACT THIS IS GRADED AT THE TOP VERY NEAR PERFECT ON MY SYSTEMS, without a ticks, click or pops that i could hear during the audio play!) Please note! With (no) signs of distortion or any signs of grooveware! This plays with no loud clicks and i never heard any background crackle or distortion at all during the audio, one of the best that I have heard, such as real pleasure to play, I really wanted to play and play this album over and over again!!. There was perhapes, the odd static in some quiet parts at the most static crackle   but even in between tracks background noise is extreemely minimal (VERY NEAR PERFECT ON MY SYSTEM, AND I WOULD CLASS MYSELF AS HIGHLY CRITICAL!). So rare for a stones vinyl that is 46 years old!!!!! please note This audio is clear and vibrant all the way through!!! I would class myself as highly critical! Please look at my completed listing of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right!!!!! THOSE WHO KNOW ABOUT THE RECORDS THAT I LIST WOULD KNOW THAT MY PRIME INTEREST IS THE AUDIO QUALITY IT IS MY OPINION AFTER PLAYING THIS ALBUM A FEW TIMES THE AUDIO IS GRADED AT THE TOP!!! Please note these earliest pressings are cut at a louder volume than later pressings that i have heard, in my opinion a much more enjoyable experiance!!!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! I have given my honest opinion when describing the audio quality of this album and those who know the listings and vinyls that i sell my prime interest is the audio quality!!! Please allow for the odd static\crackle  not consistant  through out the audio! This is a genuine (not) reissue vinyl that is 46 years old and would have been played on a system that is 46 years old!

Please note, this album has been stored in a case laying dormant for at least 25 years or more. A build up of dirt and dust in the grooves causes static\ crackle. A constant clean before each play is recomended. This will reduce any static and will enhance the audio quality. Points to note, I notice debrit on the playing surface after play so this will need cleaning before each play which will further enhance this audio quality.

The labels

These feature the unboxed decca logo (only 1st press) Also these feature the familier decca  circular groove! the kt tax stamper is also featured on the labels and the run off grooves (only 1st press) these are in superbe condition. ot overplayed in my opinion!Spidering can be seen when angled to the light, this has obviously been played but definately looked after and not overplayed in my opinion (very very rare to find) no major spindle ware around the the hole this is perfectly round (in my opinion this has not been over played, From the audio quality this has certainly has had only very minimal play only in my opinion) ''Made In England'' text is featured (UK pressing)!!!!! 

The cover

This is the original laminated front  cover laminated by Clairifoil made by Celanese Limited and printed in England  by MacNeil Press! ) Please note! This is the most desirable 'flipback' cover, the most scarce to find!  glossy laminate appearance.There is light general storageware with age only. There are (no) splits or tares around the edges.  minimal laminate creases to the laminate can be seen in photos  (see photo)  without any major ringware often seen on these 1st issues.   The writing can be clearly seen at the spine  The rear is exceptionaly clean with light rubbing ware consistant with its age but nothing drastic This cover must grade at least excellent in my opinion!

The Mono Decca poly lined record sleeve.

This is the original Decca Mono Record sleeve becoming fragile with age  with no splits small tare at die cut hole one side only this is the original!
