The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones No. 2 - 4th [B] - G UK Vinyl LP

THE ROLLING STONES The Rolling Stones No. 2 (1965 UK first issue fourth label variant 12-track mono vinyl LP on the deep groove unboxed Decca logo label, front laminated flipback picture sleeve with the controversial 'blind man' text on the back LK4661)
See 'More Info' for details on condition ...

TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
The group's second British album actually appeared after their second US LP, mostly owing to the fact that the British rock & roll audience wasn't focused on the long-player as a medium (Singles and EPs were the driving force of the business in England then).

It uses the same David Bailey cover shot that had graced the US issued '12 X 5' album two months earlier, but only four songs (Under The Boardwalk, Suzie Q, Grown Up Wrong and Time Is On My Side) overlap on the two albums.
Rather, Rolling Stones No. 2 offered seven songs that weren't to make it out in America until four months later on 'The Rolling Stones Now!' It also includes one of the group's best blues covers, their version of Muddy Waters' I Can't Be Satisfied, which wasn't released in America until 1973 and features some killer slide playing by Brian Jones. The U.K. LP was originally released in mono only & took forever to come out on CD in this form.

The original cover design found here carries sleeve notes that include the text: "If you don't have bread, see that blind man, knock him on the head, steal his wallet and low and behold you have the loot, if you put in the boot, good, another one sold!"
Not one of Mr Loog Oldham's wisest lyrical outpourings and they naturally caused uproar in January 1965, even to the extent of being debated in the UK Parliament. This was a bit too much for Decca and an alternate version of the back artwork was hastily prepared & the few they had left in the factories were overpasted with the new artwork. Most first issue sleeves continued to carry the text as they were already in the shops.

The labels are red with unboxed, open Decca logo and ffrr 'ear', with the deep grooves that were omitted from later pressings. This is the second of the fourth label variant of this early design that we know of, with just the 'Made In England' print along the top. This variant adds label credits below the group name at the bottom. The 'BIEM/NCB' logo is to the left of the spindle hole.

The matrix numbers are machine stamped into the 'dead wax' areas. They are as follows:

Side One XARL-6619-1A
Side Two XARL-6620-2A

The sleeve has nice clear panels & grades a reasonable Good to Very Good. There is some creasing in the laminate as to be expected, with no writing & all text clearly legible. There are a few light scuffs and some very faint ringwear to the front.

The heavyweight vinyl remains in Good condition with an impressive sheen. There is some splindlewear on the label and several light paper hairlines & mild scuffs. The odd very slight pop can be heard on the track 'I Can't Be Satisfied'. A decent, but by no means mint, example.
