This is a 1st pressing of the Stones 1st album in 1964,  Beat Zenith.com Rolling Stones U.S. LP Label History says the maroon unboxed London label is the first 100% U.S. pressing of the Stones first four albums.  Also showing a first pressing is the box on the lower left of the front album cover reading "FREE full color photo of THE ROLLING STONES inside".  Subsequent pressings don't have that box.  The photo is not included with this lp.  The album cover is VG+ to EX:  no seam splits, no writing.  The heavy cardboard front cover looks almost brand new, the back shows a little wear, the spine is in fine shape, and there's some very light shelf wear on the top and bottom seams.  The vinyl is VG+ to EX:  a few very fine paper lines and small scuffs but no scratches, and it retains a lot of gloss.  Some spindle marks. Side 2, track 6 there are a couple pen marks (see pic).  Play tested with no skips and minimal surface noise.  This record and cover are in amazing shape for being 51 years old.  London FFRR record sleeve included.  Deadwax matrix machine stamps:  Side 1-ARL6291T2    Side 2-ARL6292T3.   Excellent collector's album from the Greatest Rock n Roll Band Of All Time.  Please email me with any questions and thanks for looking.
