THE ROLLING STONES - 'THE ROLLING STONES'

Here is an early UK pressing of their debut album dating from just after April 1964 release on the deep-grooved Decca label: LK.4605

The track 'Honest I Do' is credited to 'Hurran,Calvert' (later 'Reed') and the publisher is 'Cromwell Music'.
The labels also carry the 'KT' purchase tax code and the 'N.C.B.' box is positioned on the right side of the label.

Vinyl weight: 158g


Housed in the earliest cover type for this release, a front laminated, bi-flipback mono cover printed by 'MacNeill Press' with the following errors/variations:

'Mona' is credited as track 4 on side 1.

The writing credit for 'Honest I Do' is 'Hurran, Calvert'.

On the writing credit for 'Can I Get A Witness', 'Dozier' is misspelt as 'Bozier'.

'You Can Make It If You Try' is misspelt as 'You Can Make It You Try'.


Complete with original poly-lined inner-sleeve.


CONDITION

Labels: EXCELLENT +

Bright & clean with just 2 spindle trails on side 1 and a small number of light ones on side 2. 

Disc

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Both playing surfaces retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine and are unmarked in strong daylight. Close inspection beneath halogen light reveals only some harmless wispy hairlines. Not may left like this.

Audio: MINT -

This extremely well looked-after disc sounds clean & unworn throughout with no trace of any groove/playwear or background crackle or interference. Sparingly played on quality equipment, every track is full of power and clarity, unspoilt by any clicks, pops or any other audible interference. You will not be disappointed.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

A superb example of this rare, early cover which displays an unworn, high-gloss front panel free from any 'thumbnail' wrinkles and just three tiny spine bends. There is minor bruising to the lower corners but the upper two are sharp and unworn, as are both opening edges. The rear panel has some discolouration towards the spine area but is otherwise completely unblemished. Both flipbacks, seams and the spine are all undamaged.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Some storage wrinkling but no writing tears or seam splits.
