You are bidding on a STUNNING UK Decca 1967 1st Mono Pressing of 'Their Satanic Majesties Request', by The Rolling Stones!!!  I

A very serious record indeed and essential for any Near Mint Rolling Stones/ Psych UK 1st press collection...

Aside from the flawless condition, there are a number of features that make this particular record very, very rare. Firstly it is the EARLIEST 1967 UK Unboxed Decca Mono 1st Pressing on the Blue/Silver unboxed and grooved 'Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound - ffss' Decca Mono labels. Matrix numbers are Side 1 - ARL-8126-IP. Side 2 - ARL-8127-PI.

Secondly it is complete with the very rare Earliest 1st Issue 'Mono' Robert Stace laminated holographic sleeve. The colouring is a much darker blue on this 1st press sleeve than on the later sleeves (which were more turquoise in colour). It also has the important 'Mono TXL 103' box printed 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, again, in absolutely breathtaking condition with NO seam wear or scribbles etc!!! As mentioned above, this record and sleeve are in STUNNING condition throughout!!! You will not find a better example of this rare record!!! Like all 1st press Stones LP's, when this album turns up today it almost always has been trashed; in terrible condition with lots of marks & scratches etc. This one IS NOT!!! Aside from being the true UK 1st pressing, what makes this one SO rare is its STUNNING condition!!! This thick & chunky vinyl has the most beautiful shop-fresh, deep glass-like shine I have ever seen, it really looks as if this record could have been pressed yesterday - it is that good!!! There are no visible marks to the playing surfaces- at all!  You will not find a better 1st press example of this Psych Classic!!! A truly breathtaking 1st press example of this rare album, it is the best I have ever seen -  don't miss it!!!

1st Press Matrix:

Side 1 - ARL-8126-IP

Side 2 -  ARL-8127-PI

This vinyl is in stunning immaculate condition!!! The Classic 1st press Blue/Silver unboxed Decca centre labels are in pristine Near Mint condition with NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Grubbyness, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! I can see NO spindle lines at all on side 1 and just a solitary line on Side 2.

As described above - the vinyl itself is in Stunning condition!!! NO Hairlines, NO Scratches, No Scuffing, NO Groovewear, NO warping, in fact - NO blemishes of any kind - Not even paperlines!!! I may as well grade this vinyl as Mint!!! Nr Mint does not do it justice.  I am very pleased to state that it plays as good as it looks with NO Crackle, NO Pops, NO Jumps, NO Skips and NO hissing!!! I have to keep reminding myself that I am describing a 40 year old record here, not one made last week!!! I can say nothing else about this chunky 1st press record - it's absolutely perfect and Near Mint!!! These Mono IP//PI 1st pressings were straight from the masters and nothing even gets close to them today. They play with a very loud punchy but also deep clear warm chiming clarity and have to be heard to be believed! This is the best pressing you will hear and is far, far superior to the more common Stereo 1st pressings and much more common late 1970's and early 1980's repressings. This record plays Near Mint - the best you will ever hear!!! It is perfectly quiet between tracks with NO hissing, virtually NO crackling and obviously NO jumps and NO pops etc!!! It is the best example I have ever heard!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! The thick quality pressed chunky 1960's vinyl looks and feels great (it is very heavy!).

The classic 1st press thickly laminated Robert Stace holographic gatefold sleeve is also in amazing pristine condition!!! These 1st press sleeves always turn up totally worn out-looking nowadays with severe damage, especially to the unprotected edges and un-laminated inner gatefold. Suffice to say, they have not remained in prime condition over the years. THIS SLEEVE IS DIFFERENT!! It is in superb condition with FANTASTICALLY preserved laminate, NO Tears, NO Stains, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind - It is completely blemish free!!! The laminate retains all its beautiful glossy sheen and NO cracking!!! The spine is simply MINT with perfectly legible spine text and a beautiful unbroken laminate sheen!!!

What's more this amazing sleeve lies perfectly flat! It has none of the 'bowing' commonly associated with the sleeve due to the plastic Hologram tightening and bending the sleeve. The hologram is nice and tight to the sleeve and is not coming unpeeled etc. It is Mint-. Again the thick laminate is crystal clear and absolutely flawless, in fact is it so pristine it almost is looks 'wet' in appearance! I have never seen laminate like this on this sleeve before. The corners are super-sharp and there are NO laminate creases coming out from the spine and NONE of the common 'oxbow' type laminate creases. The only creasing visible is one or two very light laminate creases on the bottom right corner; only visible when holding the sleeve angled toward strong light

The sleeve opens up to reveal a beautiful un-laminated inner gatefold which is in breathtaking condition! It, like the rest of the sleeve, is totally un-blemished and has no nasty stains or scribbles etc. There are not even the usual signs of handling, such as fingerprints etc. It looks completely untouched by human hands! There is just the lightest ripple on the left side of the gatefold and that is it!

AS AGREED WITH MY FARTHER HALF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS RECORD SALE WILL GO TO CANCER RESEARCH.
