Description



THE ROLLING STONES - 'THE ROLLING STONES'
This scarce German 1964 1st pressing of their debut album is on the red & gold Decca label: BLK 16 300P

Machine stamped matrix numbers: XARL 6271-II X & XARL 6272-II X

'MANUFACTURED IN GERMANY' is also machine stamped into both run-outs.

Vinyl weight: 142g

The disc is housed within a semi-gloss thin card ('Wabbelcover') German printed cover with 'MacNeill Press' credit on the rear panel.

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT

Both labels have a small collection of spindle trials around each centre hole and some faint water stains, which is just visible in the images above.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Clean & unworn deep-gloss playing surfaces with no noticeable marks or wear in strong daylight. Closer inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a few wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine.

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +

This copy has received a few careful plays on good equipment and the sound overall is of the highest quality. My playcheck detected a little low-level vinyl background on some of the album's few quieter spots an between tracks, but no clicks, pops, ticks or any other audible distractions or faults anywhere.

Cover: VERY GOOD +

A respectable example of this fragile cover which retains a clean front panel with some light marks from storage and an unavoidable light disc impression. There is light wear to the corners and some feathering to the opening edges but no tears or splits anywhere. The rear panel is clean & white overall with no writing or missing paper.

Both seams are unstressed & unsplit and the spine's wording is all there and readable.
