~ THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST ~
(1967 UK DECCA RECORDS – FIRST PRESSING)
ON OFFER HERE IS A RARE UK MONO FIRST PRESSING OF THE ROLLING STONES’ 1967 PSYCHEDELIC LP "THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST" ON DECCA RECORDS.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT LP, AS IT CHRONICLES THE ROLLING STONES' ATTEMPT TO MAKE A PSYCHEDELIC ALBUM! IT WAS RELEASED IN THE SAME YEAR AS MANY OF THE OTHER CLASSIC PSYCH ALBUMS – SGT. PEPPER’S, PET SOUNDS, THE DOORS, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, PIPER AT THE GATES, MR FANTASY ETC ETC. THE 3D COVER WAS SWIFTLY REPLACED WITH A CHEAPER PLAIN COVER AND THIS SLEEVE IS NOW HIGHLY PRIZED.
THIS FANTASTIC RECORD IS COMPLETE WITH THE VERY RARE EARLIEST 1st ISSUE 'MONO' ROBERT STACE LAMINATED HOLOGRAPHIC 3-D SLEEVE. THE COLOURING IS A MUCH DARKER BLUE ON THIS 1st PRESS SLEEVE THAN ON THE LATER SLEEVES. IT ALSO HAS THE IMPORTANT 'MONO TXL 103' BOX PRINTED ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE AND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS RECORD IS FULLY COMPLETE WITH ITS TRUE UK 1ST PRESS 'RED SMOKE' INNER SLEEVE. THE CLASSIC 1st PRESS BLUE AND SILVER DECCA LABELS WITH UNBOXED LABELS HAVE THE ALL-IMPORTANT GROOVE, "EAR" LOGO AND "ffrr" TEXT.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 1967 DECCA TXL 103
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE ARL-8126-T2-3K / ARL-8127-T2-3K
THE SLEEVE
THE LAMINATED ROBERT STACE GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE 3D COVER IS IN EXCELLENT+. THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION. THERE IS SOME MINOR SCUFFING TO THE EDGES AND SOME VERY SLIGHT STUBBING TO THE CORNERS. THERE ARE NO TEARS AND THERE IS NO CREASING. THE 3D PLATE IS STILL BRIGHT AND "WORKING" DESPITE SOME LIGHT MARKING. THERE IS A SLIGHT "WARP" TO THE SLEEVE WHICH MEANS THAT IT DOES NOT LIE FLAT UNLESS THE RECORD IS INSIDE. THE MAZE HAS NOT BEEN DRAWN ON AND THERE ARE NO INSCRIPTIONS. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC SLEEVE.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT AND IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO TEARS – JUST A FEW CREASES AND SIGNS OF HANDLING AT THE OPENING.
THE VINYL
THE SHINY BLACK VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE ARE SURFACE MARKS AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCRATCHES. DESPITE THIS THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT – JUST SOME OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND NOISE AND DURING THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE ONE THERE ARE A NUMBER REPEATING DULL CLICKS CAUSED BY ONE OF THE LIGHT SCRATCHES. ALL IN ALL A FANTASTIC LISTEN.
THE LABELS
THE BLUE & SILVER LABELS, WITH THE UNBOXED DECCA LOGOS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE MARKS BUT NO WEAR.
