The group s debut album was the most uncompromisingly blues/R B-oriented full-length recording they would ever release. Mostly occupied with covers, this was as hardcore as British R B ever got it s raw and ready. But the Stones succeeded in establishing themselves as creative interpreters, putting 50s and early- 60s blues, rock, and soul classics some quite obscure to white audiences through a younger, more guitar-oriented filter. The record s highlighted by blistering versions of Route 66, Carol, the hypertempoed I Just Want to Make Love to You, I m a King Bee, and Walking the Dog. Their Bo Diddley-ized version of Buddy Holly s Not Fade Away gave them their first British Top Ten hit and their first small American one . The acoustic ballad Tell Me was Jagger-Richards first good original tune, but the other group-penned originals were little more than rehashed jams of blues clich s, keeping this album from reaching truly classic status.

CONDITION:
THE RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a THE VINYL IS IN DECENT, VERY GOOD VG CONDITION. CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in clean, playable condition. There are a few surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches 1 inch 2.5 centimeters and a few others that might cause short periods of pops and clicks, specially during the low, quiet passages side 2 is in a slightly better condition than side 1
b The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c The album comes with the original 10 x 10 color mini-poster of the Rolling Stones in absolutely gorgeous condition: no creases, no wear, no stains, only a trace amount of yellowing noted on both sides. One corner has a pin hole
d The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.
e Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its FAKE electronically rechannelled stereo counterpart. We estimate that FAKE stereo copies of this album outnumber monos by a ratio of at least 15:1.
f The record has a deep groove an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings .
g True Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.
h Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
THE COVER
COVER IS WEAK NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP A SMALL PIECE OF SHRINK WRAP IS MISSING
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- A faint water stain affects the area about 1/2 inch wide along the opening side VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY there is no structural damage to the cover, and both cardboard base and paper slick are intact, however, the stain is faintly visible
- Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

- Minor shelf wear noted on the opening side nothing significant
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
