"THE ROLLING STONES NO. 2" Mono LK 4661 is the earlier British Decca version of the U.S. London "The Rolling Stones, Now!" from early 1965.  The unboxed Decca "MADE IN ENGLAND" with the groove around the label  and the infamous, banned "Blind Man Text" in the back cover liner notes means this is a 1st pressing.  Deadwax matrix machine stamps:  Side 1-XARL-6619-2A   Side 2-XARL-6620-1A.   The album cover is VG+:  no writing, no splits, slight ringwear.  A little creasing on the laminated clarifoil front but it still looks great. The back cover shows some ringwear and some age discoloration.  Bottom left back cover "Printed in England by James Upton Ltd. Birmingham&London".  The vinyl is VG+.  It  has a little scuffing and some fine lines from the record sleeve.  There is one light scratch/scuff on Side 1 that  you can barely feel with your finger, but there is very little surface noise there.  Play tested with no skips and only some surface noise in quieter passages.  Over all the record has lost some gloss but it still sounds really good.  The original record sleeve is included.  Please email me with any questions.
