From OP: The rarest and most valuable Rolling Stones 45 in the world. Intended to be the first Stones single released in the US in March of 1964. Promo copies were pressed with black and white labels and sent out to radio stations. Word quickly got back to London Records that there wasn't a chance in Hell that radio stations would play it. The lyrics "Stoned - Outa Mah Mind..." did not fly in 1964. The release was quickly canceled but not before some purple and white stock copies were pressed. Most were destroyed but a few got out. Today only a handful exist - and here's one of them.
