THE ROLLING STONES "NO.2"

THE EARLIEST UK PRESSING AND THE EARLIEST UK PRINTED COVER!! PLEASE READ ON!!

AN ORIGINAL 1965 1ST UK MONO PRESSING WITH THE SHORT LIVED"BLIND MAN"SLEEVE NOTE!

THE EARLIEST COVERS HAD THE SLEEVE NOTES THAT INCLUDE THE WORDS"IF YOU DON'T HAVE BREAD,SEE THAT BLIND MAN KNOCK HIM ON THE HEAD......"WHICH RESULTED IN MANY COMPLAINTS AND DECCA INITIALLY PASTING OVER THE CONTROVERSIAL WORDS AND THEN WITHIN WEEKS REPRINTING THE COVERS WITH THE TEXT SHORTENED AND THE "OFFENSIVE"WORDS REMOVED! SEE PHOTO #3 AND COMPARE!

 THE LP HAS THICK VINYL WITH "UNBOXED DECCA"LOGOS +"GROOVED"LABELS MONO LP+THE ORIGINAL"HANDLING"AND"FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" INNER SLEEVE! 

 LK 4661+1A/1A MATRIXES-THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE +A LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER-LATER COVERS DID NOT HAVE FLIPBACKS.

THE LP ITSELF HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I HAVE EVER FOUND WITH VERY QUIET SURFACES-A POTENTIAL UPGRADE OPPORTUNITY!

THE SURFACES REALLY GLEAM WITH THAT"JUST PRESSED"LOOK-JUST THE FAINTEST AND TINIEST HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STONG LIGHT

BACK IN 1965 THIS WAS OF COURSE A BIG SELLER BUT ALMOST EVERY COPY THAT SURVIVES IS IN BEATEN UP,WORN CONDITION!

THIS ONE HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS NO NASTY DISTORTION,LOUD CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS AND PLAYS FANTASTIC!

MOST COPIES SOLD 46 YEARS AGO IN 1965 WERE PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!.

CLEAN LABELS-HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR!

A COPY THAT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1965!

STRICTLY GRADED EXCELLENT++++ CONDITION,BORDERLINE NEAR MINT!!!.

UNLIKE MANY SELLERS,I PLAY THROUGH ALL MY ITEMS TO ENSURE ANY FAULTS ARE NOTED!

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY TO LOVE

DOWN HOME GIRL

YOU CAN'T CATCH ME

TIME IS ON MY SIDE

WHAT A SHAME

GROWN UP WRONG

DOWN THE ROAD APIECE

UNDER THE BOARDWALK

I CAN'T BE SATISFIED

PAIN IN MY HEART

OFF THE HOOK

SUZIE-Q
