Description

ROLLING STONES: s/t, UK Decca 1964 1st press LP, LK 4605 (4.06 version of Tell Me´, not the 2.52 version) with 1A, 4 A matrixes. I believe THIS is the most stunning copy you'll ever see, certainly by far the most exceptional Rolling Stones LP I have ever seen. LP appears UNPLAYED MINT, totally unworn labels, super shiny, as new surfaces. A- label has tiny, barely visible spindle-trace, most likely from checking flatness on the factory. Most unplayed UK LPs from the 60s have this one light spindle-trace (on one side only). 

I honestly believe this LP was never played. It came from a swedish collection that contained ALOT of sealed and unplayed MINT LPs, stored safely for 40+ years. This particular LP gives 'final upgrade' a new meaning. Take a look a the pictures!  The cover is by far the best I have seen for this LP, back cover is snow-white!! Unbelievable! I never imagined seing this cover like this! Mothers/stampers for this copy are: 2 (above) B / GB; 5 (above) 1 / MM.

VINYL is graded MINT(-), as new, most likely unplayed! Vinyl is completely flat.

COVER is graded MINT- or MINT(-), snow white on back, superb unworn lamination on front; a couple of light, barely visible creases on back that are only visible when the cover is angled in a certain way. As said earlier, by a long long mile the BEST EVER 1st press LK 4605 cover I have ever seen. I'm sure you will believe me when you see the photos!!! 

I must stress, this is not like finding a MINT(-) late 60s Rolling Stones cover (which still seems to be possible), those I have seen a fair number of times. They were sold in much larger quantities. The Rolling Stones' first two LPs, with their fragile flip-back covers, are far more difficult to find in this sort of dream condition. This may be one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities!  Well, no more talking, the pictures speak for themselves I believe. 

The original Handling/Playing innersleeve is superb, see pics. The 'whitest' inner of this kind i have seen. It seems in was never exposed to sunlight.

Good luck bidding for this special LP, it truly belongs in a museum - yours or someones elses.


BEFORE PLACING A BID, PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS:

1) WAIT FOR INVOICE AFTER AUCTIONS END; that way you will get the correct shipping amount.

2) UK BIDDERS: Shipping is 9 GBP or 17 REGISTERED (with tracking code).

3) ALL BIDDERS: All totals over 80 GBP WILL REQUIRE REGISTERED MAIL, which adds 8 GBP to the basic shipping cost as seen in the shipping calculator.

Payment, Shipping & Multiple items

I accept paypal and bank-transfers (ask for the nessesary codes).

To get shipping quote for a single LP, use shipping calculator. For auctions ending over 80 GBP, wait for invoice. For 80+ GBP orders an additional 8 GBP is charged for cover the 75 DKK registration fee (tracking number).

You will save shipping on Multiple items, of course. Wait for invoice and you'll see the combined shipping price. You will NEVER pay more than my actual cost, often you'll pay 10-15% less than is costs me.

Packing

Special german-made cruciform-mailers designed for multiple LPs are used even for single LP shipments. The boxes are oversized and provide extra corner protection as well as great stiffness to package. Addtional protection may also be used when nessesary, such as stiffeners, bubble-wrap, extra corner-protection. I do not charge for packing materials.

Gradings

MINT(-) is as close to new as a used LP or cover can get, unplayed or played 2-3 times at most.

MINT- is superb, almost like new. No marks, scratches, clicks, noise, or anything else, aside from possibly a barely visible and inaudible hairlines.

EX or EXCELLENT is also VERY nice, 2-3 light marks perhaps, no disturbing noise, great sound quality.

VG+a nice player, but probably has some visual impairments, and some clicks or light noise in places; always see the individual description.

VG, rarely put of for sale, an ok copy, but always see the individual description for the actual faults.

Playgrading

I play-grade parts of or whole LPs to determine the actual sound-quality of the item. Playgrading is done on a quality system with an Linn LP12 as the main source.

Garuantee & Refunds

All items are garuanteed, and in case of any dissatisfaction, a refund will promptly be granted upon receipt of item in same condition. CHECK my feedback to feel reassured.
