just got this:

THIS IS THE VERY FIRST ALBUM RELEASED BY THE ROLLING STONES. IT WAS RELEASED IN 1964 ON DECCA RECORDS MONO LK 4605.

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE XARL 6271 2A AND XARL 6271 3A.

THE LAMINATED COVER IS IN QUITE GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR WRINKLES AND THE BACK HAS THE USUAL AGEING BUT NO MARKS.

THE VINYL IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH A FEW MINOR SCUFFS BUT THESE DO NOT AFFECT PLAYBACK.

what are matrix numbers?

pad a lit over 30 USD but have seen many going for like 100-300 and I just wanted an early pressing Decca red mono. Not in good shape but i have seen worse.

So did I get screwed?

Well its great to have a piece of history,You can always frame the brilliant cover

I remember when this came out, I'm dating myself here..

Matrix numbers are the numbers on the run out grooves that determine the pressing number of the record.

You got lucky. It´over 40 years old. I´ve seen much worse.

I remember the day I bought this and the second album, which is better. They are both played to death. This remains, for me, the Stones golden era . The Mick Taylor years also produced some great songs and shows. The Stones haven't issued a 'great' song since Ronnie joined the band - anyone care to debate this?

yes, but no, Ive been debating to death lately. That said, if u wanna fight, I will fight u

Ridiculous statement, eh? Is that all you have to say, is that the extent of your ability to debate? If it's ridiculous, explain why, in your opinion, which after all is worth no more or less than mine. A fight?...what can I say?!

that was the extent of what i chose to say at the time and if it irritated u, then GOOD!!

OK, two words in reply (of course there could be many more words and many more titles):

Bend over and spell run.

I seem to recall the original issue had a small poster included as well. I saw one at a swap for $100.00 a few years back.

meaning the UK edition, Chris? And was the poster the same as the album cover?

I don't recall. A question for someone more knowledgeable than I...
