November 1, 2024 Record of the Day

When we say that little things can make a big difference in value for the same record, there’s no better example than the Rolling Stone’s first album released by London Records in the U.S. in 1964. What you want is the version pictured here with sticker in lower left hand column reading “Free Full Color Photo Inside” with photo inside. On the record itself, it has the words “Full Frequency Range Recording.” That version is now worth up to $1,000.00. Covers with “Free Full Color Photo Inside” with photo but record without “Full Frequency Range Recording” printed on the label are up to $400.00. Copies with bonus photo but no mention of it on the cover and no “Full Frequency Range Recording” on the label can sell for $300.00. Copies with no bonus photo and no “Full Frequency Range Recording” on label can sell for $40.00. My head hurts. I’m going to lay down now. Whew! (All the little things that can make a big difference in all record values are detailed in Mighty John’s “Record Appraisal Guide,” available in the left hand column.)
