This is a copy of the Rolling Stones' debut LP from 1964 and has the insanely mega-rare matrix numbers XARL 6271-1A and XARL 6272-1A, meaning that this LP has the 2.52 version of the song 'Tell Me (You're Coming Back) instead of the standard version that runs at 4.06.
The story goes that back in 1964 just after the lads had finished recording all the tracks for their first album an engineer accidentally used to the wrong recording for the track 'Tell Me (You're Coming Back)' when creating the plates. This track (not just a different mix but a completely different take!) ran for just 2 minutes and 52 seconds and is very bare with just a couple of instuments, a shoddy vocal from Mick with no studio enhancements made to it and an initially out-of-time bass from Bill Wyman. There isn't even a guitar intrumental in it! The whole thing just sounds so amateurish!
This mistake was discovered pretty much instantly after production started and was removed very quickly. Not only that, but out of all the 2.52 copies that were pressed the majority had the side 1 matrix ending in 2A! The original, 1st press 1A/1A copies are so incredibly hard to find that until recently nobody believed that they even existed! But here's a copy now, and it could be YOURS!!
