OK...here is the granddaddy of collectible versions of the FIRST DECCA album....The Rolling Stones - s/t - UK 1964 1st Press Decca LP 2A/1A Matrix:
[www.ebay.co.uk]?
This just sold on EBAY for GBP 845 plus 19 shipping. Wow!
It's notable for having the incorrect 'shorter' version of Tell Me, which I'd always thought was just an early fadeout or something but is actually a completely different and great version. Here it is:

I do not own this but I want to! Who has it? Just wondering what you paid for it as well. A true rare collector's piece!

Interesting, but even more tentative and messy version of an awful song than the most known take. ^

It is an awful song, just cool because it's them playing it.

Hi treaclefingers,

All different from each other.
Matrixnrs, sleeves flip or non flip, MONA or I NEED YOU BABY written on it.
YOU CAN MAKE IT YOU TRY or YOU CAN MAKE IT IF YOU TRY written on it.
Grooved or non grooved "DECCA"
Only 3 has the short "TELL ME"
Also a missing sleeve I don't have: a sleeve with the stamp "MONA" on it.

Thanks for responding.
Yes it's a US London, never saw it or heard of it after 50 years of collecting. Will check run off matrix number.
My initial thought was an early recalled label pressing because the Apple Acetate says Get YOUR ya ya's out also on the green and white label.
I paid about 25 bucks for it. It's a fine addition to my collection either way.

Bought recently a copy of the 1966 live album Got Live If You Want. It was the mono edition, LL 3493.
Matrix side 1:
Matrix side 2: LL3493-B
That's right! No matrix on side 1 and only the catalogue number on side 2.
So decided to play it, put it on my recorplayer, side 1.....NO announcement! Under My Thumb started straight away!
