THE ROLLING STONES           SELF TITLED      

MONO 

WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR NEAR MINT MONO AUDIO !!!!
1ST ISSUE WITH "MONA" ON THE LABEL .
WHEN FIRST RELEASED SIDE 1 LABEL, HAD "MONA" INSTEAD OF LATER, "I NEED YOU BABY", ALSO TRACK, "HONEST I DO" IS CREDITED TO, 'HURRAN / CALVERT. SO THE ONE LISTED BELOW HAS THE EARLIEST FIRST ISSUE LABELS !!!!
NOW MOST PEOPLE THINK THE SHORT VERSION OF, "TELL ME" IS THE EARLIEST PRESS, BUT IN FACT MOST, SHORT VERSIONS, DO NOT HAVE THE EARLIEST "MONA" ON THE LABELS, BUT INSTEAD, LATER "I NEED YOU BABY" !!!!
THIS IS THE ROLLING STONES WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, AND THEIR 1st ALBUM RELEASED IN 1964. THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND PLAYS SUPERB 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-6272-6A .

ON THE FIRST ISSUE RED UNBOXED DECCA LABEL  ::  LK. 4605.
COVER :: FIRSTLY I MUST MENTION, THAT THE PHOTOS OF THE BACK OF THE COVER, LOOK WHITER, THAN THE ACTUAL COVER REALLY IS, AND THE COLOUR IS MORE LIGHTER BROWN, SO PLEASE REMEMBER THIS, THANK YOU. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED NON FLIPBACK, PRINTED IN ENGLAND. FIRSTLY I MUST MENTION, "MONA" DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE COVER, BUT, "I NEED YOU BABY" DOES. AS MENTIONED THE COVER IS A NON FLIPBACK, AND BOTH NON FLIPBACK, AND FLIPBACK COVERS WERE USED IN 1964, AND THIS COVER HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH THE VINYL !!!! NOW NOT THE GREATEST OF COVERS, DUE TO THE AGEING AND AGE RELATED MARKS ON THE BACK AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO. THE SPINE AND EDGES, ARE SOLID WITH NO RUB, JUST A FEW WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES. THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT, BUT THERE ARE SOME LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. SO FOR A GRADE, AND DUE ONLY TO THE BACK, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GRADE  :: VG . 
VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERB AND WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO BETTER, AND MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR THE COVER. THE MONO AUDIO PLAYS AMAZING WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR MONO CLARITY, AS BEING ONE OF THE EARLIEST OF THE PRESS. ALL I HEARD WAS JUST ONE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 2, AND NOTHING ELSE, AND NO STATIC OR CRACKLE ANYWHERE, SO A JOY TO LISTEN TO. VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND TWO LONG THIN HARMLESS COSMETIC SCUFF LINES ON SIDE 2, THERE IS ANOTHER ON SIDE 1, WITH TWO SMALL ONES ON TRACK 1, AND WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY THEY ALL DISAPPEAR, SO THIS WILL TELL YOU, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, JUST A VISUAL THING UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. SO FOR THE AUDIO GRADE, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX+/NEAR MINT .  BUT I WITH ONE FAINT TICK IT IS SO MUCH NEARER TO NEAR MINT, AND IN NO WAY WILL YOU BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!
LABELS ::  VERY NICE, AND EARLIEST WITH "MONA" ON LABEL 1. JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .

POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO SPLITS OR WRITING, UST SOME AGEING AND SOME AGE RELATED MARKS, PLEASE SEE PHOTOS, THANK YOU, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: VG/VG+ .
YET ANOTHER STONES CLASSIC, AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN IT PLAYS FANTASTIC, SO CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO MISS, AS WITH AUDIO LIKE THIS, THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP !!!! 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 !
