Hi
Well here goes! Selling one of the finest copies of the Rolling Stones No. 2 LP's. I have also listed the first LP in similar condition as well
The story behind this (and a few others we are listing over the next few days) is that it was obtained from a chap who used to be "in the industry" back then I think in distribution. Turns out he kept a whole load of stuff and never played it - just turned the inner sleeve in to identify it was unplayed, and stored them. So there are a whole bunch of pretty mint 60's LP's and singles we were lucky enough to purchase a while ago.
We need to raise some cash soon and so are reluctantly selling a whole bunch of rare records and items that will get the best return for us (we hope). Still clinging onto as many as possible (if you see my unplayed copy of The Ramones Blitzkrieg Bop in mint pic then you'll know I've failed to hold on to even my faves!)
Anyway here goes ...
Any label and cover info I have got from here (they seem to know their stuff as early Stones stuff seems to be a minefield to identify) http://www.discogs.com/Rolling-Stones-No-2/release/5942152 I am pretty sure this is the one, I have checked labels etc. but please check pics and info yourself if you are in any doubt
The Vinyl The vinyl is effectively mint I suppose, maybe -Mint - just due to age, but fact is I don't think it's ever been played (I've never played it even on a nice system for fear of devaluing it) - Not truly sure how you should grade something that has never been played but is "old". If Mint/Mint- is wrong in this case please forgive me but it's "as new" in reality.
The Cover The cover has been in store for 50 years! I've really tried to show any blemishes in the photos and took close ups where I can (ebay only let me do 12 pictures - aren't records hard to photo!)) (Not all the close ups are blemishes, just wanted to get HQ pics of the cover) but the one tiny thing which you can see in the photo is:-
a) rear cover bottom right, there is a tiny bit of browning/mark
Otherwise it's pretty immaculate with laminated foldover top and bottom The front cover has the slightest - and I mean slightest - bit of storage ringwear but it is so slight I could not even get the camera to show it even with a torch. It's one of those where you have to be looking for it to see it (if that makes sense)
The Labels The labels are just perfect in every way - and great to look at. See the pics,
The Matrix Numbers On Side 1 it is XARL-6619-1A On Side 2 it is XARL-6620-2A
I think that means it's a pretty darn early pressing
The Inner Sleeve It is the original, and is old but it is clean and spotless.
Packing I'll pack this well obviously - The LP itself I'll put in a brand new Mo-Fi Poly Liner, separate from the original liner and seprate from the sleeve itself.
Description I've tried to be totally honest in every description and facet of this great record. Please email me any questions or let me know if I have missed anything that should be known.
