Item description from seller

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl record, London PS 420, very-good-plus vinyl in a very-good cardboard jacket (jacket showing considerable rub; previous owner's initials to both jacket verso and to the disc labels.) Ian Stewart is credited with piano on two cuts and with organ on "Time Is On My Side" . . . though there's no other evidence "Time Is On My Side" actually appears on this disc. And yes, Keith Richards once looked that young. Brian Jones' notable slide guitar featured on Willie Dixon's "Little Red Rooster," which was a Number One single in the U.K. but never released as a single in America, at all. (I mean, who in America had ever heard of Willie Dixon?) Album notes by Andrew Loog Oldham. "Play This Record Only On Stereophonic Equipment." As for the band's appearance, recall that when the Beatles got back from Hamburg in 1963 they were scorned by the well-upholstered bulletheads in the Lamestream Press as "dirty, scruffy, and unkempt" (despite the fact Brian Epstein had them in MATCHING SUITS) and when that didn't work, the criticism simply shifted the following year to a new target of opportunity, the even-more-despicably-working-class Stones, who DIDN'T EVEN WEAR UNIFORMS, and who were in their turn scorned as (wait for it) . . . "dirty, scruffy, and unkempt." (Truth is, at this point neither the Beatles nor the Rolling Stones had actually grown their hair substantially longer than "normal" -- what they were being criticized for was the fact that (inspired in the Beatles' case by German photographer and fan Astrid Kirchherr, 1938-2020) they'd stopped combing their hair up into sticky pompadours with the aid of beeswax, lanolin, and other commercial "hair preparations," instead simply trimming the bangs and otherwise letting the works dry "in situ.") Meantime, who in the Lamestream Press ("What's your favorite color, um, Mick?") bothered to mention these young Brits were DEMOLISHING an American LP industry that had smugly assumed we'd continue to settle for "two Tin-Pan Alley hits and 10 recycled fillers" from Frankie, Annette or Fabian, instead packing onto each record as many as a dozen fresh, energetic takes on the AMERICAN Delta and Chicago Blues of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Robert Johnson -- layered with the close harmonies of the Everly Brothers? This disc now reduced from $32.…
