Item Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP especially in this condition by The Rolling Stones called Their Satanic Majesties Request and is a ORIGINAL 1967 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Grooved UNBOXED Decca label THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THIS IS ONE OF THE ROLLING STONES RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE DECCA LABEL, AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT HAS THE 1ST PRESS P1/P1 MONO MATRIXES, WITH THE 1ST PRESS MONO MIX LATER CHANGED
BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IT THAT IT IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE, WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WITHDRAWN COVER AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY HANDFUL NO MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED COPIES ONLY OF THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE LIKE THIS - AND CONSEQUENTLY THEY ARE NOW VERY VERY HARD TO LOCATE I WILL NOW EXPLAIN THE AMAZING DIFFERENCES ON THE EARLIEST WITHDRAWN 1ST PRESS COVER - WHICH EVERY OTHER COPY NEVER HAD
EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN COVER DIFFERENCES:-

1 THE OUTSIDE OF THE COVER IS A VERY DARK BLUE COLOUR - WHEREAS ON LATER COVERS THIS WAS CHANGED TO TURQUOISE INSTEAD YOU CAN SEE THIS VERY CLEARLY IN MY FRONT COVER COMPARISON PICTURE THE WITHDRAWN DARK BLUE COVER IS ON THE RIGHT - WITH THE COMMON TURQUOISE COVER ON THE LEFT - AND THE COLOUR DIFFERENCE ISN T JUST MINOR, IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND VERY DIFFERENT INDEED

2 THE COLOUR THROUGHOUT THE COVER BOTH INSIDE OUTSIDE IS DARKER, MUCH MORE VIVID , AND LOOKS FAR MORE IMPRESSIVE AND IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE COVER - COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOURS ARE USED AGAIN I HAVE SHOWN THIS VERY CLEARLY IN MY REVERSE COVER COMPARISON PICTURE THE WITHDRAWN MORE VIVID COLOURED COVER IS ON THE RIGHT - WITH THE COMMON FAINTER COLOURED COVER ON THE LEFT - AND AGAIN IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE WITHDRAWN COVER IS FAR MORE IMPRESSIVE

3 THE PRINTING QUALITY IS OF A FAR FAR HIGHER STANDARD ON THE EARLIEST WITHDRAWN COVER AND FAR FAR MORE DETAILED - WITH THE NORMAL STANDARD COVERS LOOKING VERY POOR IN COMPARISON

4 ON THIS WITHDRAWN COVER - THE LAMINATE USED IS OF FAR FAR BETTER QUALITY THAN THE STANDARD COVERS - AND AS A RESULT, IT IS AT LEAST TWICE AS SHINY AND NOTICEABLY SUPERIOR

5 THE INSIDE OF THE COVER ON THIS WITHDRAWN COVER HAS A SATIN FINISH - WHEREAS ALL LATER ONES HAVE A MATT FINISH INSTEAD

6 A FINAL POINT ON THIS WITHDRAWN COVER IS YOU CAN BASICALLY LOOK AT IT FOR HOURS THERE IS SO MUCH DETAIL HERE - AND YOU SEE THINGS YOU NEVER THOUGHT EXISTED ON THE STANDARD COVERS

SO NOT ONLY DOES THIS ULTRA RARE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN COVER LOOK SUPERIOR, USES COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOURS, HAS FAR MORE DETAILED PRINT QUALITY, AND 100 TIMES BETTER COLOURATION - BUT IT IS ALSO THE ALL TIME RAREST 1ST PRESSING YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST ROLLING STONES LPs ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY


WHY THIS COVER WAS WITHDRAWN:-

There are 3 different thoughts as to why this LP s cover was withdrawn and changed - though it is possible that we will never know for certain after all these years 1 The Satin finish on the inside the cover was too shiny for anyone to complete the maze unlikely in my opinion . 2 The Rolling Stones werent happy with the cover and wanted it changed again very unlikely in my opinion as it pretty obvious which cover looks better . 3 Cost. And this probably the most likely reason in my opinion. With the colouration being of the highest quality, the printing being made in the finest detail, and the laminate being of the VERY highest quality - it is fairly obvious that this cover would have cost a FORTUNE to produce So it probably most likely that Decca quickly sought a cheaper way to produce the covers - and this is exactly why all later covers have worse colours, worse print quality, and cheaper laminate So for me the reason for its withdrawal was like many other business - COST


NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1967 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS UNBOXED GROOVED DECCA LABEL, 1ST PRESS P1/P1 MONO MATRIXES WITH THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS MONO MIX , 1ST PRESS RED SMOKE INNER SLEEVE, AND ULTRA RARE EARLIEST WITHDRAWN MONO 1ST PRESS COVER WITH ALL THE AMAZING EARLIEST 1ST PRESS DIFFERENCES MENTIONED ABOVE THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPRTUNITY This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK MONO 1st Pressing from 1967 and is in SUPERB condition The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.

MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS I always undercharge on postage :- Due to UK Royal Mail s obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100 guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package please check it when you recieve it . I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100 POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I ll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask
