Tracklisting & More 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 carried sleeve notes that included 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 very first label variant. The labels have the 'Made In England' print along the top rim, the composer credits in italics & the 'K'T' & 'S' codes to the right.

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

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


Condition:

The sleeve does show its age, with obvious corner/laminate creases and edgewear. The back cover shows discolouration/foxing mostly to the edges, although all text is legible.

The labels show obvious spindle marks.

The vinyl is graded as VG, with obvious signs of play, with light hairlines/scuffs throughout and a few glimpses of axial wear.

Not mint, although a perfectly acceptable VG/play copy of this classic album.
