Description
Couple of words about me:
I'm coming back with selling on eBay after a break just to unload some of my collection. Don't worry about overgrading, fakes or even unproper packing. I know the bussiness. So many records bought and sold already since 2003 :).
I used flat postal service: 5GBP to Europe and 10GBP outside. Records will be well packed without chance on any damage (or at least such a chance will be minimalised). I used only Priority email so records should arrive pretty fast, and of course "Signed-For".
On offer here is one of the RAREST LPs you will EVER see (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rolling Stones called "The Rolling Stones" and is an ORIGINAL 1964 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca label!!!!
This my second and last copy of this rarest RS record. The first one gone very fast. This one has a little bit lower grading than previous listed record but it's a very decent copy still. Read description below carefully for full details.
THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS THE ROLLING STONES FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! IN FACT, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs OF ALL TIME - AND IS INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO LOCATE!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL, IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP EVER MADE - WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MIX!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THIS IS THE AMAZINGLY RARE '2.52' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP AND PLAYS THE ULTRA RARE '2.52' WITHDRAWN 'DEMO' VERSION OF 'TELL ME'!!!! THIS '2.52' MIX SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ON THIS LP AT ALL (AS IT WAS NEVER APPROVED!), AND WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO THE STANDARD '4.06' PRESSING OF 'TELL ME' WHICH APPEARS ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!! ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY HANDFUL OF THESE LPs EVER LEAKED OUT WITH THE WRONG '2.52' VERSION - AND MAKE THIS, THE RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER ROLLING STONES LP OF ALL TIME!!!! IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ON THIS 1ST PRESSING - THE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' IS NOT ONLY SHORTER THAN THE STANDARD LATER '4.06' VERSION - BUT ALSO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT RECORDING!!!! IT SOUNDS TOTALLY DIFFERENT (AND IN MY OPINION FAR BETTER!) AND IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE ROLLING STONES AT THEIR VERY BEST!!!! AND OF COURSE, YOU DONT NEED TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THAT THIS LP DOES INDEED HAVE THE ULTRA RARE '2.52' OF 'TELL ME', BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT MY VERY CLEAR PICTURES BELOW - YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE A PICTURE OF THE 'XARL 6272-1A' MONO MATRIX NUMBER (ON THE 'TELL ME' SIDE OF THE LP!) INDICATING THE WITHDRAWN '2.52' RECORDING OF 'TELL ME', AND I HAVE ALSO TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE 'GROOVE SPACING' ON THAT SIDE OF THE RECORD - WHICH LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO THE NORMAL VERSION!!!! YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THAT 'BAND 3' (TRACK 3 'TELL ME'!) IN THE GROOVES - IS MUCH MUCH THINNER ON THIS 'WITHDRAWN' VERSION - WHEREAS ON THE NORMAL VERSION IT IS MUCH WIDER!!!! THIS LP IS OF THE UTMOST RARITY - AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS, AND I AM VERY CERTAIN INDEED, THAT IT WILL BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER!) BEFORE YOU GET THE CHANCE TO OWN AN ULTRA RARE '2.52' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP AGAIN!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND IS A VERY DECENT EXAMPLE INDEED!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 UK MONO '2.52' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'XARL 6272-1A' SIDE 2 MATRIX ENDING (INDICATING THE WRONG '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME'!), 1ST PRESS 'HANDLING/PLAYING' INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'MacNEILL' FLIPBACK LAMINATED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK '2.52' 1st Pressing from 1964 and is in GREAT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 4605 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only some spindle markings to either label!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only a few VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! There is also a very VERY faint 'shine' to the record (only when angled under VERY bright light ONLY!) which leads me to suspect that this record may have been cleaned in some way by a previous owner. THE RECORD IS STILL VERY BRIGHT & SHINY LOOKING INDEED!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, only some VERY minor distortion in places, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The record must grade Very Good++ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent record indeed!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Handling/Playing' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'MacNeill' Flipback Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate (apart from the usual VERY minor record impression!), NO splits, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL, THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST ROLLING STONES LPs ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY (WITH THE WITHDRAWN '2.52' WRONG VERSION OF 'TELL ME'!)!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
