The bold and punchy mono production is vastly different and superior over the stereo issue, well suited in mono to the raw sound of the sixties....

Yes, even the Rolling Stones were once young and hungry. Released in 1964, the group's U.S. debut is an urgent slab of hardcore blues-wailing rave-ups by a great r&b/beat punk sound. "Now I've Got A Witness" is basically a raver version of adapted from "Can I Get A Witness" (a version of which appears toward the end of this album), while "Little By Little" is- a very derivative uptown R&B/blues shuffle. "Tell Me" has Phil Spector's fingerprints all over it, with its teen-drama lyrics and swooning melody. "Little By Little" is full of bemused attitude, with plenty of gin-joint instrumentation and a great drawling vocal from Jagger, with a wild guitar solo thrown in the middle. "Tell Me" may be derivative, but it shows that the 'Stones knew how to maximize the effect of their favorite cliches: It's an incredibly catchy song, with a soulful chorus and a great twanged-out guitar part. It also proves that even when Mick was mewling and pleading for his girl to take him back, he still sounded way cooler than anybody you'll ever meet. Of course the rest of the album is steeped in raw primal cookers that never sounded better in their original monaural recordings, vibrant, bright and electrified!

CONDITION: The cover: Rated: Solid all over, rated nice: near "M-" this is the THICK cardboard cover with NO shelf wear, well maybe a 'pinch' on the back cover, the front cover is outstanding! There are NO delete marks, no bends, no writing and no split seams. Looks very nice for a 55 years ago collectible LP, beginnings of the Rolling Stones.   

The vinyl: Rated: retains the original shiny surface, both sides near M- so plays with beautiful audio = no alarming problems at all in our play test! Both unboxed LONDON (mono) maroon labels are very clean


The glossy large color photo is clean...(see photo) ...NO pin or tack holes in photo.
