((((((((ROLLING STONES))))))))

No 2

((((((((1ST LABELS))))))))

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 UK 1ST PRESS :: XARL-6619-2A : XARL-6620-2A .

ON THE RED UNBOXED DECCA 1ST LABEL :: LK.4661 .

THIS LABEL HAS>>>>>>>>>>

Top text: “MADE IN ENGLAND”

Publishers: Divided on both sides of the label .

Tax Code: K/T .

Copyright box: BIEM – NCB box is on the left side of the label .

Font style: Ariel looking font style .

No production and recording information under The Rolling Stones .

This is probably the earliest label used on No2 as it has the above and the short top text. All labels made during the end of 1965 and later has the long top text .

THIS ALSO HAS WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, A STAMP MARK OF A NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER ON LABEL 2. YOU MIGHT THINK SOMEONE HAS PUT THE MUSIC SHOPS STAMP ON...BUT...THIS STAMP IS UNDER THE 'DECCA LONG PLAYING' LOGO, SO WAS STAMPED ON THE RED BARE LABEL BEFORE THE SILVER LOGO'S, WRITERS, TRACK LISTS ETC WERE PRESSED.......RARE ??????????? 

( PLEASE SEE PHOTO )

YOU CAN ALSO CHECK ABOUT THE 1ST LABEL ON THE 'STONES ON DECCA' SITE .

THIS IS A VERY HELPFULL SITE FOR ALL YOUR STONES ALBUMS!!!!!

 COVER :: ORIGINAL NON FLIPBACK PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY JAMES UPTON Ltd. BIRMINGHAM & LONDON ( BOTH NON FLIPBACK AND FLIPBACK COVERS WERE USED ) :: CONTAINS 'THE BLINDMAN TEXT', WHICH WAS LATER REMOVED FROM LATER COVERS, FIRSTLY WITH A PASTE COVER ON THE COVER, THEN COVERS WITHOUT THE TEXT ALL TOGETHER. I CAN ASSURE YOU THE 'BLINDMAN TEXT' IS ON THIS COVER. I DID NOT TAKE A PHOTO, AS I STILL THINK IT IS OFFENSIVE TO THIS VERY DAY!!!! THE FRONT OF THE COVER HAS NO LAMINATE LIFT BUT DOES HAVE QUITE A LOT OF SMALL LAMINATE CREASES AROUND THE EDGES AND QUITE A LOT TOWARDS OPENING EDGE AND ALSO FAINT RINGWEAR WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE ALL SOLID AND THE SPINE IS STILL READABLE, WITH ONLY A 15mm RUB ON TOP CORNER , AND SOME WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASES :: OPENING EDGE HAS SOME VERY LIGHT FEATHERING AND THE BACK IS BEST DESCRIBED BY THE PHOTO :: THE FRONT OF THE COVER PHOTO DOES NOT SHOW THE LAMINATE CREASES AS MENTIONED ABOVE :: THIS IS STILL A SOLID ORIGINAL 'BLINDMAN TEXT' COVER AND HAS NO SPLITS, STICKERS, STICKER MARKS, AND UNUSUAL FOR THIS COVER , NO WRITING!!! :: OVER ALL GRADE :: VG .

VINYL :: IF YOU HAVE READ ANY OF MY OTHER LISTINGS, YOU WILL KNOW I ALWAYS PLAY GRADE MY ALBUMS TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT YOU WILL GET WHEN THE POSTMAN KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR, RATHER THAN BUYING FROM A LISTING THAT JUST STATES, VG OR EX ETC . I THINK MY WAY IS THE MOST HONEST AND FAIREST WAY. I WILL NOT GET AS MANY BIDS, BUT AT LEAST I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHTS, IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT YOU READ IS WHAT YOU GET. THIS IS A 1ST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT AND PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS ETC, AND NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS!!!!!!! THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE ONLY SOME LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND STATIC WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW. THIS WILL BE A TRACK BY TRACK LISTING. PLEASE LET ME ASSURE YOU IF THIS VINYL WAS NOT PLAYABLE, MY DOG WOULD HAVE A NEW VINYL FRISBIE TO PLAY WITH IN THE PARK. IT IS STILL AN ENJOYABLE LISTEN AND OF COURSE IT IS NOT MINT, BUT YOU WILL STILL ENJOY IT!!!!! 

SIDE 1 : TRACK 1 :: HAS BACKGROUND STATIC AT THE VERY START, AND THEN THE OCCASSIONAL LIGHT STATIC IN PLACES UP TO NEARLY HALFWAY THROUGH.

TRACK 2 :: VERY LIGHT STATIC AT THE VERY START AND THEN PLAYS WITH VERY LIGHT HARD TO HEAR LOW LEVEL STATIC.

TRACK 3 :: OK .

TRACK 4 :: OK .

TRACK 5 :: LIGHT STATIC AT THE START .

TRACK 6 :: PLAYS WITH VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC .

SIDE 2 : TRACK 1 :: HAS ONE SOFT POP AT THE END .

TRACK 2 :: HAS A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND TICKS AFTER THE START .

TRACK 3 :: HAS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC AT THE START .

TRACK 4 :: HAS THE OCCASSIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC .

TRACK 5 :: OK .

TRACK 6 :: OK .

THERE IS ALSO LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN MOST TRACKS.

AS I HAVE SAID ABOVE, THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE AND IT IS STILL AN ENJOYABLE ALBUM TO LISTEN TO. VISUALLY THE VINYL HAS SOME THIN SCUFF LINES, HAIRLINES, A FEW SMALL TOTALLY UNFEELABLE NEEDLE LINES AND THE USUAL WHISPY SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB FINE LINES. WHEN ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY ALL THESE MARKS VANISH, BUT NOT FOR GOOD AS THEY DO COME BACK, BUT THIS SHOWS THERE ARE NO NASTY MARKS OR SCRATCHES THAT WOULD CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN AS HONEST AS I CAN WITH THE WHOLE LISTING. I WOULD GRADE THE OVER ALL AUDIO AS :: VG+ . AS THERE IS NOTHING LOUD OR INTRUSIVE!!!!

LABELS :: THE VERY 1ST LABELS ON THIS ALBUM :: THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT, AND SOMETHING VERY UNUSUAL.......THERE IS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A STAMP MARK WITH A NAME, ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER.....BUT IT IS UNDER THE 'DECCA LONG PLAYING' LOGO. SO THIS STAMP WAS ON THE LABEL BEFORE ALL THE LOGO'S AND WRITTERS AND TRACKS WERE ADDED. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT BUT WITHOUT ANY LUCK. THIS COULD BE VERY RARE AND UNIQUE!!!!!!! :: EX .

POLYLINED INNER :: WILL COME IN THE INNER IN THE PHOTO TO PROTECT THE OTHER POLYLINED INNER FROM DAMAGE :: HAS BRITISH PATENT No. 800513, FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING , MADE IN ENGLAND :: HAS NO WRITING OR SPLITS :: EX .

WELL THAT IS IT. THANKYOU IF YOU MANAGED TO GET THIS FAR. I AM SORRY IT WAS A LONG LISTING, BUT I DO LIKE TO EXPLAIN EVRYTHING WHEN IT IS A 1ST PRESS, AND WITH THE, COULD BE RARE UNIQUE LABEL. THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME. NO RESERVE AND NICE START PRICE FOR WHAT COULD BE SOMETHING VERY RARE WITH THAT LABEL!!!!!
