CRITICAL RECEPTION:

5 out of 5 Stars — Album Rating by ALLMUSIC

5 out of 5 Stars — Album Rating by ROLLING STONES MAGAZINE

500 Greatest Albums of All Time #180 by Rolling Stones Magazine 

"Now! is almost uniformly strong start-to-finish, the emphasis on some of their blackest material. The covers of "Down Home Girl," Bo Diddley's vibrating "Mona," Otis Redding's "Pain in My Heart," and Barbara Lynn's "Oh Baby" are all among the group's best R&B interpretations." 

- Richie Unterberger, music critic

PLEASE REFERENCE PHOTOS FOR ACCURATE LOOK AT CONDITION

Please take care to look at all photographs very closely as they are the best accounting of the record's condition. I took care to provide the best true-to-life photographs I could, including angles from the album's front, back, and sides as well as close-ups of its corners and any notable flaws. It is the buyer's responsibility to review them closely, so there are no surprises when the album arrives.

ABOUT MY RECORD COLLECTION:

I inherited all of my vinyl from the private collection of a 25+ year London Records Executive who worked for the label in New York City during the 60s, 70s, and into the late-80s. He held a senior role at the label, which allowed him unique insider access to many original first press editions when they were first released in the US as well as some rare test pressings. He worked directly on US marketing and promotion for The Rolling Stones throughout most of the 1960s when they were at the height of their fame, which is why I have so many early pressings of their albums. The collection overall is vast and diverse with a myriad of albums and artists spanning more than 30-40 years and over a dozen music genres. The lion’s share fall into three main categories: Rock, Classical Symphony & Opera, and Jazz.
