  THE ROLLING STONES - THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST

YEAR:  1967

VINYL LABEL:  DECCA STEREOPHONIC - TXS 103

MATRIX:  SIDE 1: ZAL-8126-T2-6K  SIDE 2: ZAL-8127-T2-7K
             
VINYL RECORD - VISUAL & AUDIO:  VG+/EX : Visually the record appears to be in very good condition and the overall stereophonic sound quality is excellent - quiet superb actually for a 45 year old record.

OUTER GATE-FOLD COVER:  EX : There is a curve to the front flip page due to the nature of plastic 3D picture on it and although the cover appears to be in excellent shape - unfortunately, as the last photo clearly shows, this is the wrong cover for this record. On the back of the album cover (see photo) you will see that it is stamped with 'MONO TXL 103' when it should be stamped  'STEREO TXS 103' which would relate to the 'TXS 103' vinyl record that is inside (see photos). Somehow during its 45 year history this stereophonic TXS 103 record has found its way into a 'MONO' stamped cover as opposed to its authentic 'STEREO' stamped cover.  It does seem however that both MONO and STEREO covers for this album were pretty much identical except for the stamp on the back so maybe there was a mix up at the pressing plant or something? I don't know? Hence the low starting bid.

INNER SLEEVE: EX : Original red flame paper inner sleeve.


Vinyl Record Grading System

So as to try and avoid disappointment I play all records before listing them and attempt to grade them as conservatively as I can using the following guide - however please remember that some vinyl records regardless of condition can still have an occasional tiny tic :-


MINT (M):

The record itself will be unplayed and in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT (NM):

The record will appear like new but will be known to have been played before because it has come from
a previous owner and the record will therefore be assumed to have been played by them - the label might have some light spindle marks. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in near perfect condition.
 

EXCELLENT (EX):

The record might show some signs of having been played before and there may be some infrequent light surface/background noise and/or some occasional light ticks during playback but there will be very little lessening in sound quality and overall still a great copy. The cover and packaging will have slight wear and / or creasing.


VERY GOOD (VG):

The record will obviously have been played many times before, it may have some obvious light background noise (crackles/ticks) but no real major deterioration in sound quality, despite any noticeable surface marks or the occasional light scratch. The cover will have normal wear and tear also on any extra items, without any major defects, is also acceptable.


GOOD (G):

The record will have been played so much that the sound quality will have noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some
distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents will suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

For any records that appear to fall between the above grades a plus (+) or minus (-) sign will be added to try and provide a more accurate grading.
