THE ROLLING STONES      MONO 

WITH EX/EX+ AUDIO !!!!
Firstly the boring bit, but these are the facts about this pressing and time of release, etc, so please read FULLY as it is VERY important, thank you !!!! 
NOW THE VERY EARLIEST, WHEN FIRST RELEASED, HAD A 'SHORT VERSION' OF THE TRACK, "TELL ME", WHICH LASTED 2.52 MINUTES. THE RUMOUR IS THAT THE WRONG DEMO TAPE WAS USED, AND PRESSING WAS DONE. THE MISTAKE WAS NOTICED, AS MICK JAGGER SINGING AND BILL WYMAN'S BASS IS CLEARLY DIFFERENT TO THE LONG VERSION OF "TELL ME" WHICH WE KNOW TODAY, WHICH LASTS FOR 4.06 MINUTES. THE EARLIEST SHORT VERSION, HAD TRACK 4, ON THE COVER AND ON THE FIRST LABEL, DESIGN No  VERSION 1, LABELS AS 'MONA'. THIS WAS CHANGED ON THE NEXT LABEL, AND COVER TO TRACK 4, NOW CALLED, "I NEED YOU" !!!!
THE ONE LISTED BELOW HAS THE SAME, "MONA" ON THE LABELS, AND COVER, AS THE 'SHORT VERSION', IS PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS, BUT JUST MISSED OUT BEING THE 'SHORT VERSION' !!!! SO TO SUM UP, THIS HAS THE SAME LABELS AND COVER AS THE EARLIEST, 'SHORT VERSION' SO ONE OF THE EARLIEST 1964 PRESSES, AND 1ST PRESS OF THE 'LONG VERSION' !!!! 

THIS IS THE ROLLING STONES WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, AND THEIR 1st ALBUM ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1964, AND THIS IS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND PLAYS SUPERB , AS WILL BE DESCRIBED BELOW !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FIRST LABEL, DESIGN No 1, VERSION 1, THE SAME AS THE 'SHORT VERSION' LABELS  :: XARL-6271-2A  :: XARL-6272-3A .
PRESSED OFF THE 1st MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1 G  ::  1 B .

ON THE RED UNBOXED GROOVED DECCA LABEL  ::  LK. 4605 .
COVER :: AS MENTIONED EARLIEST 1ST PRESS FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, WITH TRACK 4, AS, "MONA", PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY MacNEILL PRESS, LONDON, S.E.1, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS AND SOME WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES. VERY NICE LAMINATE, WITH NO LIFT, WITH JUST SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A BIT OF LIGHT RING WEAR, SEEN THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING, AND HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS, WITH JUST SOME LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, AND SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A STRONG :: VG+ . VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS BEAUTIFUL AND I WILL GIVE A FULL AUDIO DESCRIPTION BELOW DUE TO HOW RARE THIS VINYL IS....
SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 2 :: HAS ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE. TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 4 :: HAS FOUR FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END. TRACK 5 :: HAS ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK AT THE END. TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SO AS MENTIONED BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, WITH ALLSO NO STATIC OR CRACKLE !!!! VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL HAS SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, ANDQUITE A FEW SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A TINY COSMETIC MARK, ON TRACK 5 ON SIDE 1, AND ANOTHER TINY COSMETIC MARK, ON THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2, SO NOTHING NASTY, JUST A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND I WILL GRADE THE LOVELY AUDIO AS  ::  EX/EX+ .  BUT NEARER TO EX, RATHER THAN TO EX+ !!!!
LABELS ::  AGAIN FIRST PRESS AND EARLIEST WITH, "MONA" FOR TRACK 4. JUST A COUPLE OF SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .
