Item Description

Hi, and welcome to psychout auctions

I ve collected 50 s, 60 s, and early 70 s records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm n Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life Obviously, 90 of the LP s I ve ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock n roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10 ? Reluctantly, I ve decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there I m currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there Make no mistake, I ll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find

I aim to put a weekly batch up time permitting every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I ll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I ve got I won t insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I m sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it s a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard none of this digitally remastered ,weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would ve been geniuses themselves? There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that s just a tiny example .

I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music I strictly grade all LP s I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I ll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i ll be listing some gems that you just WON T want to miss out on

I think that s everything, so let the auction commence

Title : The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones Selftitled Debut


Label year : Original Unboxed Decca LK 4605 LP , OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE Mono 1964 TRUE UK WITHDRAWN 1st Press with 2:52 Tell Me


Matrix s : Side A : Side A : XARL-6271-1A , Side B : XARL-6272-1A EARLIEST EVER


THIS IS A REAL ONE-OFF OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A USED, BUT STILL VERY PRESENTABLE AND SURPRISINGLY GOOD SOUNDING EXAMPLE OF THIS MAGNIFICENT PIECE OF STONES HISTORY - THE OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE WITHDRAWN 2:52 DEMO TELL ME VERSION OF THEIR ICONIC DEBUT THIS SIMPLY NEVER EVER TURNS UP, ESPECIALLY WITH THE EARLIEST EVER 1A 1A MATRIXES


WELL HERE IT IS - THE VERY RAREST STONES LP EVER COMMERCIALLY RELEASED CONTAINS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RECORDING OF TELL ME, THE VERY FIRST JAGGER RICHARDS SONG TO EVER BE RELEASED ONLY A HANDFUL OF THESE EVER ESCAPED THE PRESSING PLANT

I COULD GO ON ABOUT THE SHEER RARITY OF THIS FOR ENDLESS PARAGRAPHS, THOUGH ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW IS THAT THIS HOVERS AROUND THE SUMMIT OF THE RECORD COLLECTOR TOP 100 RAREST RECORDS OF ALL TIME LIST, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL THE WORLD BLOWS UP

In the frenzy of launching the first ever LP of the iconic band that would eventually go on to be the biggest and best in the world, someone at Decca mistakenly used an earlier take of Tell Me on the master instead of the re-recording that we all know and love though in my opinion, this earlier version is probably better This was noticed JUST after pressing had begun and was IMMEDIATELY repressed with the correct 4:06 take, resulting in this being THE very rarest commercially released Stones LP out there And not only that, this record is the ONLY time this version of Tell Me has EVER been issued

WE ARE TALKING AN ICONIC PIECE OF TRUE ROCK ROLL HISTORY HERE RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO FIND AN EARLIEST EVER 1A 1A EXAMPLE OF THIS MILESTONE IN ROCK AND THAT S AN UNDERSTATEMENT Do NOT miss out on this, for it will surely be a VERY long time before it comes around again, if ever - bid now

Musicians : Mick Jagger - Vocals, Keith Richard - Guitar, Charlie Watts - Drums, Bill Wyman - Bass, Brian Jones - Guitar and everything else , and Andrew Loog Oldham - Producer.

Trivia : This was the first band who had the balls to not put their name on the front of their debut LP

About : Ultra Rare Original 1964 WITHDRAWN 1A 1A UK 1st Press This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything LP s were also really expensive to most people back then and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60 s / 70 s record collection Don t miss out on this MEGA RARE LP If you like good music, bid now

The LP :

Labels :

Classic UK 1st Press red ridged Unboxed Decca labels Both sides are GREAT with minimal signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever Just has spindle marking and a little ruffling from general use over the years Good for a 52 year old record of this rarity Both must grade overall at least as Fair


Record : Visual -


Spectacular Original 1966 UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, and shiny with fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks OK with no excessively nasty marks, nothing that ruins playback, and NO vicious gauges either It just has general age wear such as a few of the usual light, wispy sleeve traces with some light scratches and hairlines from general use over the years - obvious wear, but nothing critical whatsoever Of course, none of these blemishes interfere with smoothness of playback at all thanks to the quality deeply pressed 1st Press Well used, but still presentable for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall visually as Fair graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays GREAT with fantastic mono blast and clarity It plays through smoothly with NO hops, sticks OR skips whatsoever Only has some relatively minor surface noise, a few light ticks here and there as to be expected with a bit of bluesman s fag static crackle in places such as between tracks and on the quieter sections, but it really doesn t overshadow the music AT ALL it s mostly more atmospheric rather than the sound of bacon frying I d even argue it gives it added soul Still a very enjoyable listen - The music is TRULY loud and clear BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audiably as Very Good minus graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Sleeve :


Original UK 1964 1st press front laminated flipback MacNeill sleeve complete with original inner IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT too bad at all, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO splits, NO graffiti, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years Only has a few signs of minor ageing such as general light age creasing and a touch of a record imprint, some general minor ageing to the unlaminated back such as just a little light general dulling and a small piece of material missing below the centre of the back opening with a small promo/deletion punch just below, a touch of denting/rounding to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP s have, and POSSIBLY just to be sure one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all And that s truly about it Despite ageing, this is a well presentable sleeve and a TRUE rarity to find one as strong, unsplit and as undamaged as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one The iconic pics look awesome It remains strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains strong, solid, unsplit and 100 readable Must grade overall at the least as Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Summary : A used, but GREAT sounding example of this OUTSTANDING piece of Stones history - the OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE WITHDRAWN DAY OF RELEASE 2:52 TELL ME DEMO Mono classic 1964 PRE RELEASE UK 1st Press LP UNBELIEVABLY HARD TO FIND Hard to find in ANY condition YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don t miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60 s/70 s music history Bid now

Please take a look at all my other auctions for many other ultra rare classic LPs, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks again for looking, it s truly appreciated Cheers

I ve realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system occasionally with a or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i m having real trouble deciding , so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100 perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps
