The Rolling Stones is the debut album by The Rolling Stones, released by DECCA in the United Kingdom on 16 April 1964, and sometimes known as Stones No.1.

Recorded at Regent Sound Studios in London over the course of five days in January and February 1964, The Rolling Stones was produced by Andrew Loog Oldham and Eric Easton. The Rolling Stones was originally released by DECCA in the UK, while the US  England newest Hit-makers appeared on the London Labels label, with the track "Not Fade Away" (the a side of the band's third UK single) replacing "Mona (I Need You Baby) 

The majority of the tracks reflect the band's love for authentic R & B material. Mick Jagger  and Keith Richards were still much fledging songwriters during early 1964, contributing only one original composition to the album: "Tell Me". Two numbers are credited to  "Nanker Phelge" - a pseudonym the band used for group compositions from 1963 to 1965. Phil Spector and Gene Pitney   both contributed to the recording sessions, and are referred to as "Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene" in the subtitle of the Nanker Phelge instrumental "Now I've Got a Witness".

The album cover photo was taken by Nicholas Wright. The cover bears no title or identifying information other than the photo and the Decca logo - an "unheard of" design concept originated by manager Andrew Oldham. The Rolling Stones became one of 1964's biggest sellers in the UK, staying at #1 for 12 weeks.

ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING:

Yes – brilliant! - TOP AUDIO sound quality throughout!

This rare record looks fantastic and sounds unplayed. Strong, undistorted sound free of any loud pops, clicks or distortion. Channels are clean and unstressed. The music jumps out, with incredible definition and clarity, particularly on the percussion instruments, and vocals which come through with tremendous power. 

This really is an unbelievable piece, with no hiss or loud pops or continuous unwanted sounds what so ever. This great record plays with TOP AUDIO audio - super bright sound clear of surface noise or sound interruptions. This RARE MONO press has strong undistorted audio, with Super clear sound and minimal background static. It really sounds great and plays with great sound separation and clarity! I will give a detailed account below:

This great sounding MONO press starts with barely any static in run ins and intro to 'Route 66', a loud track that can still be plagued by crackle, hiss and static. Not here, just great clear sound, the track plays superbly with not a single click or pop. The audio is superb. Again, the intro to 'I Just Wanna Make Love to You' sounds so clear and the whole of the first side really plays with superbly clear, immaculate audio throughout.  

Barely any detectable surface sound. Absolutely no loud pops or clicks, and certainly not even a hint of distortion. The quiet 'Honest I do' sounds superb, with crystal clear audio, and the raw audio effects can really be heard here. Its sounds like you are in the studio with the Stones. Very light occasional static and No loud pops or clicks. 'I Need You Baby' comes in again with incredibly clear bright sound, I could detect no static and certainly no distortion. I can confirm this whole album plays without a hint of distortion what so ever. There is some very faint static between these two tracks, but its very faint and hard to pick up. 'Now I've Got A Witness' plays again with crystal clear audio. Incredible for an original pressing of the Stones first ever album. 'Little By Little' ends side 1. again with great clear sound. Barely any faint occasional static and no pops or clicks. Superb. 

'I'm a King Bee' brings in side 2. with amazing clear audio. Barely any detectable surface sound or static! There is one pop in the middle of the song, but it is light. 'Carol' also plays superbly, still with no loud pops or clicks, and crystal clear sound. I'm very happy to say that the same goes for the intro to 'Tell Me'. There is a little light static at the very start of the track, but hardly any any where else on this great pressing. So often heavily distorted and affected by clicks and hiss, it plays through with great clarity and superb sound.  The long outro plays with just crystal clear audio. Even the stunning 'Can I get a Witness', such a difficult track to find with clear sound, pays superbly. A great audio performance, there are a few tics during the outro but no pops or clicks and little static to be heard at all. 

'You Can Make it if You Try' plays with the same extremely high audio quality, and sounds extremely bright and clear. 'Walking the Dog' rounds of the album again with great clear sound. A really stunning performance with no pops or clicks, just stunning bright clear sound. 

Superb sound, every track has been tested and I could find no obvious sound blemishes at all. Free from static or surface sound this vinyl could not be bettered. Wonderful TOP audio,  Great music with great clarity, and so hard to find with this type of sound. The tonal quality make this a sensational pressing. With the clear and extra loud First cut engineering giving the audio a vibrant sound which cannot be beaten.

An absolutely TOP all round example of this classic extremely rare and early vinyl. 

Grades at MINT.

SCRUPULOUS EXAMINATION and TESTING:

All our records are play tested on highly sensitive equipment to ensure the sound quality and accuracy of description. We aim to give a precise and concise description of the sound, pointing out the slightest defect so that you know exactly what you are buying. We aim to describe all records as accurately as possible, and offer a full refund on return if for any reason you are not completely happy with the item description.

VINYL SOUND - PLEASE NOTE:

Highest quality vinyl with clear sound is rare, and what we always aim for. We only sell records that play with TOP AUDIO performance; super clear sound uninterrupted by hiss or other interference. Even with the cleanest pressing you will find occasional static or occasional light tics during playback, caused by a build of dust in the grooves. This is clearly different from the distortion, loud pops, repeating tics or clicks that are found on heavily played and worn pieces of vinyl. Any static build up will reduce when played, and we advise a light clean between plays for optimal performance.
