Description

The Rolling Stones - I Wanna Be Your Man / Stoned - London Records Canada - L.9641 - Withdrawn Stock Copy. Ultra Rare Holy Grail.

This single was released in Canada in 1964 but was quickly withdrawn due to the B-side track "Stoned" which was apparently too much for 1964. It was replaced/reissued in April 1964 with the alternate "Not Fade Away", making this "Stoned" release incredibly rare. Only 2 other copies have been sold on the public market, which is a couple less than the US counterpart, the same release and withdrawn story, of which the last copy recently sold for over $9000. 

It is unknown how many of this Canadian release were made and then sold before being withdrawn, but it can be assumed that there are fewer of these than the US edition simply due to population and market size. Canada almost always pressed fewer copies due to having 1/10th of the population and smaller market. So far, only 2 others have surfaced - making this possibly the rarest Rolling Stones 45 on earth.

The visual condition is a generous (due to rarity) VG+ It shows plenty of light scuffs under bright light, lots of gloss and no deep scratches. The label on the "Stoned" side is excellent with only slight wear. The A-side label is excellent but with a small bit of sticker residue which I do not plan on trying to remove. Includes original paper sleeve. Please see the pictures for more detail. Play grades EX with no loud pops, crackles or skips on my Gyrodec/Grado. Plays loud and clear, without apparently much groove wear of any kind, or at least none that I can hear on my system.

This will only ship with full tracking, signature required. Free shipping to Canada and the US. International buyers please contact.

Please contact me with any questions or if you would like more detailed pictures or anything else.  Thanks for looking.
