Rolling Stones - Unique 1966 Dutch release of debut The...

It’s only rock ‘n roll, but what would the world be without it? And what would rock ‘n roll be without the Stones? Of course you have some albums in your collection. But as the men released more than sixty albums (just studio and live…, no compilations) it is very possible that you missed some. For instance, their very first one. The one on offer is a special one, a rare Dutch re-issue, in honor of the prestigious Edison Award. So no first edition, but released only a year latert. On offer: The Rolling Stones. Originally released in 1965, this one dates a year later (so sixty years ago). It took the lads five days to record it and it consist mainly of well-known covers. There is one Jagger/Richards song, but two are credited to Nanker Phelge, probably a preudonime for songs written by all of them. Phil Spector and Gene Pitney visited the studio and contributed too. Brazenly the cover features only the band, which was unheard but, of course, an idea of cheeky Andrew Loog Oldham. It became the biggest selling album of the year, staying on nr 1 for 12 weeks. As said, this is a Dutch re-issue from the beginning of 1966, a year after the original release. It is marked by a box ‘Grand Gala Populair’ and in Dutch: including their biggest successes. The Gala was the yearly award-show of the musical industry. Both sleeve and vinyl are, considering their age, remarkable. Unaudible scratches and slight discoloring of the back. Corners all intact. It is no fold-over but the back is a glued-on sheet of paper. Decca, 625 384, Netherlands, 1966. Vinyl EX, sleeve EX As said, the album is in wonderful condition, check the pics (and my reviews, I deliver!). I also shot the corners of the sleeve. It will be preciously packed and swiftly send. You will get Satisfaction!
