The Rolling Stones
Their Satanic Majesties Request
TXL 103
RARER TRUE 1st PRESS MONO
1P/P1 end matricies
Released back in 1967, this album was re-pressed many times in different formats for both the record and the cover....NOW here is an all singing, all dancing original 1967 press.
Issued on the 8th of December...HAPPY CHRISTMAS, with Satanic Majesties!
Catalogue number: TXL 103
Matrix numbers:
Side 1: ARL-6126-1P
Side 2: ARL-6127-P1
(These end matricies initially went un-noticed at the very first pressing of this album and were then quickly changed when spotted...Giving the much more common 'T2' (standing for Take 2) prefix of the second pressing inbetween the catalogue number and the end matrix number.
SO THESE PRESSINGS ARE THE TRUE FIRST AND NOT MANY OF THEM COME UP FOR SALE.
Mothers/Stampers:
Side 1: 1/K
Side 2: 2D/UU
THE VINYL: VG-. Sounds superb, She does have light background noise-a good clean would further reduce this. It has some light marks on her which do provide the following: some light skips to both sides, as well as a stick on track 3, side 2....Maybe because I have a brand new needle just fitted to my arm..?
Glorious sheen and weight to the vinyl.
*LOVELY COPY EVEN WITH THE SMALL STICK AND LIGHT SKIPS*
A SIMPLY SUPERB COVER TOO!!
THE LABEL: VG+. Once again, she really is a glorious copy! Only very light spindle marks and lisht hole wear-please see the detailed photo's. The label is a strange design; with the UNBOXED DECCA and the small (Regd) mark next to it on the right, but also the credit of BILL MYWAN in different font to THE ROLLING STONES. I have been unable to identify this side 1 label version, whilst the side 2 label version is: Design No 5 / Version 2, as shown on the website: http://stonesondecca.com/4A10_Satanic.html
(Thanks to them)
Glorious BLUE MONO.
UNBOXED DECCA
THE SLEEVE: EX. Original "Version 1" 1967 sleeve, with the "MONO TXL 103" printed to the bottom right on the back of the gatefold.
DEEP BLUE AND NOT THE LATER TURQUOISE.
Wonderful condition...Strong UNCRUSHED Spine, Strong, only very slightly scuffed corners.
The 3D image to the front is lovely and clean-with Jagger's hat going to his left-the correct way and not the later repro's.
Vibrant colours, with the laminate only having tiny and minimal spidering ... not particularly visible at all. Light rubbing to the corners-that really is it.
Good strong thick card.
I am being incredibly critical....Please see my feedback for gradings.
The inside is as bright as the day she was born.
THE INNER: VG-. It is the ORIGINAL 'Whispy Cloud' red and white inner. Still gloriously vibrant, the only downside is a split of 7cm to the bottom.
ALL IN ALL SHE IS A TRUE 1st PRESSING COLLECTORS PIECE IN VG CONDITION AND WOULD SIT PROUD IN ANYONES COLLECTION.
