"England's Newest Hitmakers" is the Stones' first studio LP in 1964.  Beat Zenith.com The Rolling Stones U.S. Label History states the brick colored unboxed London label is the first 100% U.S. pressing.  Also showing a first pressing is the stamp on the lower left front cover "FREE full color photo of THE ROLLING STONES inside".  The photo is not included with this lp.  Subsequent pressings did not have this stamp.  Using the Goldmine Grading Guide the album cover is VG+:  no splits, no ringwear, no writing, there is some corner and shelf wear but not bad.  The writing on the spine is legible.  There's a small stain on the front cover on the "O" in ROLLING.  The vinyl is VG+:  PLAY TESTED WITH NO SKIPS and only slight surface noise on some songs.  Light lines and a little scuffing but the record retains much of its gloss.  Deadwax matrix machine stamps:  Side 1-ARL 6291 T1   Side 2-ARL 6292 T1.  1st album by the greatest rock n roll band of all time.  Please email me with any questions.
