1ST AND DEBUT SELF TITLED ALBUM !!!!
MONO EARLIEST FIRST LABELS, ALSO WITH "MONA" FOR TRACK 4, INSTEAD OF LATER, "I NEED YOU" !!!!
ALSO HAS EARLIEST, "MONA" TITLE ON COVER !!!!
WITH EX+/NEAR MINT AUDIO !!!!
THE VERY FIRST VINYLS OFF THE PRESS, HAD A SHORT VERSION OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2, "TELL ME", AND HAD "MONA" ON THE LABELS, INSTED OF LATER, "I NEED YOU". THE SHORT VERSIONS HAD A COMBINATION OF MATRIX NUMBERS, FROM -1A / -1A, UP TO -2A / -2A, THE ONE LISTED BELOW, HAS A MATRIX OF, -1A / -3A, WHICH IS THE VERY EARLIEST MATRIX ON THE LONGER VERSION OF, "TELL ME". AS IT IS THE EARLIEST, IT STILL RETAINS THE VERY FIRST, SHORT VERSION LABELS, WITH ORIGINAL LAY OUT, AND ALSO WITH, 'MONA' ON THE LABEL !!!! 

THIS IS THE ROLLING STONES WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, AND THEIR 1st ALBUM RELEASED ON 16th APRIL 1964. THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND PLAYS AMAZING WITH NO ISSUES, AS WILL BE DESCRIBED BELOW !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 UK PRESS :: XARL-6271 -1A  :: XARL-6272 -3A .
WITH "MONA" ON THE LABEL !!!!

ON THE RED UNBOXED 1ST PRESS DECCA LABEL SO VERY EARLY ::  LK.4605 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL FIRST AND EARLIEST MONO COVER, FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, WITH, "MONA" CREDIT ON THE BACK OF THE COVER. SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH NO RUB, JUST A COUPLE OF WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES. VERY NICE LAMINATE WITH NO LIFT, JUST SOME LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE BACK IS QUITE CLEAN, AS THESE ORIGINALS TEND TO GET VERY DIRTY AND MARKED, BUT THIS ONE IS NOT TOO BAD, JUST A NAME WRITTEN TOWARDS THE TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE BACK, AND SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS. PROBABLY A BETTER IDEA TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ . 
VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO NASTY AUDIO ISSUES, AND THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT IT IS WONDERFUL TO LISTEN TO, WITH NO NASTY STATIC OR CRACKLE !!!! ALL I HEARD WAS NOTHING AT ALL ON SIDE 1, WHILE ON SIDE 2, A FAINT TICK AFTER THE START, AND TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE END OF TRACK 2, AND A FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 3, AND THAT'S ALL !!!! DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM, I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION TO GIVE YOU THE BEST POSSIBLE AUDIO DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE >>>>>> SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 2 :: HAS A FAINT TICK AFTER THE START, AND TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE END . TRACK 3 :: HAS A FAINT TICK AFTER THE START . TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME TOTALLY COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTR FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND AN EVER SO SLIGHTLY FEELABLE  HAIRLINE JUST AFTER THE START OF TRACK 2, AND AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 3, ON SIDE 2, WHERE THOSE FOUR FAINT TICKS MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE HEARD. SO BRILLIANT CLEAR MONO AUDIO, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A VERY STRONG ::  EX+ .  
LABELS ::  JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO SPLITS OR WRITING, JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, AND A BIT OF CORNER CREASING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  :: VG+ .
YET ANOTHER STONES CLASSIC, AND IT PLAYS SUPERB AND AS DESCRIBED, AND YOU REALLY WILL ENJOY IT !!!! THE VERY EARLIEST AFTER THE SHORT VERSION OF, "TELL ME", WHICH WAS QUICKLY CHANGED TO THE LONGER VERSION, BUT AS IT IS THE EARLIEST, IT STILL RETAINS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS LABELS, AND ALSO EARLIEST 1ST PRESS COVER, SO ONE NOT TO MISS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
