A reissue of the 1964 German release of the Rolling Stones debute album
(BLK 16 300-P). As a fan of the band and collector of original issues in
general that would be the real prize for me and I'm hoping to find that
one day. But this has benefits too having totally different sleeve
design, including a colour live pic on rear, and carrying a giant Mick
Jagger poster. Never heard the German original mono so I can't compare
with that, though this mono sounds mostly brighter and wider than the
UK, can't say if better or worse, just different. However it was the
poster that made me pick it. I have checked a large number of copies
last decades lacking it so buying this was a no-brainer. First released
as a record club issue 1970 and reissued many times including poster
with only small differences between them. Reasons I think this is the
1973 one is the rear sleeve lacks both the small "stereo" print top left
rear and the "6.21695 AF" under the S to the right and that it is true
mono, not fake stereo. Please right me if I'm wrong. Anyway it came with
label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with a 96x65 cm poster
having Mick Jagger on one side and German discography on the other. Th
MJ pic is way too large for my scanner, but it's the same as on the
front sleeve, so I've cut that to get you an idea. (GÖXÄ*) (RÅ*)
