TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
1. Not Fade Away
2. Little By Little

Not Fade Away was the second Rolling Stones single to be manufactured and released in Japan.

This original 1966 release had two print runs. The first was issued with a ¥330 price code, the second print run this was increased to a new market rate of ¥370, making this a rare first sleeve issue variant.

The picture insert depicts all five band members in a classic '3 seated - 2 standing' pose, the same image used for the original first Japanese issue of the I Wanna Be Your Man single, but this time printed here against an orange background.

The labels are clean and shiny both sides, with the 'ffrr' logo to the left middle of the large centre hole. Manufactured by King Record Co. Ltd, the vinyl is over 45-years old but has been beautifully preserved, against all odds, with only one light hairline remaining in near mint condition.

The picture insert is still bright & vivid print with very little signs of any wear with age but has a few light creases which look to have happened in manufacture, but standout more in our scanned image above.

The sleeve is printed in black, white and orange with song titles in English and Japanese plus additional song writing credits. Its gatefold-style opens to reveal a brief biography on page two, printed in Japanese hiragana and katakana script, with English lyrics for both tracks on page three. The back cover depicts ten alternative single releases in the Japanese 'Hit Series', commonly known as an "ad-back". In the bottom right-hand corner is the all-important ¥330 price marker.

This first issue image and text is slightly different with the writing credit for the two songs in a smaller font, the picture of the band members is slightly larger with the white live covering a different area.

Last but not least, the record is complete with its pink flipback London Records die-cut inner in excellent condition.
