ROLLING STONES "THE ROLLING STONES, NOW!" 1965 LONDON LL3420 1A/1A MONO VINYL VG+/G+ 1A/1A PRESSING
From Wikipedia: "The Rolling Stones, Now!" is the third American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in February 1965 by their initial American distributor, London Records. It contains two previously unissued songs and an alternative version of another but mostly consists of songs released earlier in the United Kingdom, plus the group's recent single in the United States, "Heart of Stone". Music critic Richie Unterberger gave the album AllMusic's highest rating (5 out of 5 stars). He commented "Now! is almost uniformly strong start-to-finish, the emphasis on some of their blackest material. The covers of "Down Home Girl," Bo Diddley's vibrating "Mona," Otis Redding's "Pain in My Heart," and Barbara Lynn's "Oh Baby" are all among the group's best R&B interpretations." The Rolling Stone magazine album guide also gave the album 5 out of 5 stars, the highest rating for a pre-Aftermath album by the group. It noted "The Rolling Stones, Now! is their first consistently great LP, with the mean 'Heart of Stone,' the funky 'Off the Hook,' and the Leiber-Stoller oldie 'Down Home Girl'". The magazine also ranked it at number 180 on the list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The record is in VG+ condition and has very little crackle. . There is a visible scuff on one side but it is not audible. The cover is in G+ condition with some edge and corner wear and a slight ring impression. The inner sleeve is not original having been replaced by a more protective audiophile sleeve.
The album will be shipped by USPS Media Mail. Keep in mind that the USPS has been experiencing significant delays in some parts of the country and EBay's estimated delivery dates are wildly optimistic. New procedures being implemented at the USPS are likely to make the situation worse.  Please expect and accept that it may take ten days or more for delivery.
