HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' WEDNESDAY AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE WEDNESDAY 24TH INTO EARLY THURSDAY 25TH!)!!!!

As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights - and my next set of auctions will STILL end as usual on Sunday 28th October (they will start to be listed during the week!)!!!!  But as I had quite a few extra items of overstock and also UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Wednesday auctions!!!!  So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Wednesday 24th October (NOT Sunday!) - and MANY more will be listed on Tuesday 23rd aswell (on a 1 day auction!), ALL ending Wednesday 24th October!!!!  And there will be some EXTREMELY rare items indeed (see other items) - including many other LPs!!!!  Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rolling Stones called "Stone Age" and is an ORIGINAL 1971 UK 'Earliest' 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 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 LPs ON THE DECCA LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'PROMOTIONAL ONLY' STONE AGE BOOKLET!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1971 - THE FIRST BATCH ONLY, ON THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' CAME WITH THIS ULTRA RARE 'PROMOTIONAL ONLY' BOOKLET!!!!  ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE - FOR A FEW SELECTED RECORD SHOPS ONLY!!!!  AND ALSO (AS IN THIS CASE!) SOME WAS INCLUDED IN 'PROMOTIONAL COPIES' SENT OUT TO DJs AND MUSIC REVIEWERS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE!!!!  BASICALLY BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE (THIS IS EVEN RARER THAN THE FAR MORE COMMON 'LET IT BLEED' BOOKLET!) - AND THIS MAKES THIS LP ONE OF THE RAREST ROLLING STONES LPs EVER MADE!!!!

AND IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO DISPELL ONCE AND FOR ALL THE LAUGHABLE (AND BELIEVE ME IT IS LAUGHABLE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT!) MYTH THAT THESE BOOKLETS NEVER CAME WITH THIS LP - AND WERE HANDED OUT BY RECORD SHOPS!!!!  SOMEONE ASKED ME THIS A WHILE AGO - AND TO BE HONEST, I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE CASE TOO!!!!  BUT I DID AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF RESEARCH AND CAME TO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANSWER!!!!  AND HERE IS THE STONE COLD 100% FACTS AS TO WHY THESE BOOKLETS WERE 100% SUPPLIED WITH THIS LP ON THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' (ON IN THIS CASE - SEND OUT PRIOR TO RELEASE!)!!!!

1) FIRSTLY - 3 DEMOS OF THIS LP HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE LAST 6 YEARS.  ALL HAD BOOKLETS.  NOW ONE SELLER MAY HAVE MATCHED A BOOKLET TO A DEMO - BUT 3????  OBVIOUSLY NOT!!!!  AND CLEARLY DEMOS WERE NEVER EVER FOR SALE IN THE RECORD SHOPS - AND HAD TO BE SUPPLIED WITH THE BOOKLET INSIDE THE COVER!!!!

2) SECONDLY - I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD 2 COPIES OF THIS LP BEFORE (ONE OF WHICH HAD A PRESS RELEASE!) OF WHICH I HAD PERFECT HISTORY THAT THEY CAME FROM DJs PRIOR TO RELEASE (ONE HAD A RADIO STATION STAMP ON IT!) - AND BOTH HAD THE BOOKLETS!!!!

3) EXACTLY LIKE MAGAZINES AND PAPER ROUNDS OF TODAY - SOME RECORD SHOPS WERE INDEED SUPPLIED WITH BOOKLETS, WHICH CAME ON TOP OF THE RECORDS THEY WERE DELIVERED IN!!!!  NOW MOST PUT THE BOOKLETS INSIDE OF THE COVER (ON INSTRUCTION FROM THE FACTORY - WHICH STILL EXISTS BY THE WAY!) EXACTLY LIKE MANY SHOP WORKERS DO WITH MAGAZINES & PAPERS TODAY!!!!  HOWEVER, OBVIOUSLY SOME WERE A BIT 'LAZY' AND SIMPLY STACKED THEM UP READY FOR BUYERS TO 'TAKE THEM IF THEY WANTED TO'. 

4) AND OF COURSE WHEN YOU THINK LOGICALLY - WHERE WERE THESE BOOKLETS MADE????  AT THE FACTORY!!!!  AND IF YOU WERE PROMOTING AN LP TODAY - AND TOOK THE TIME TO DESIGN IT WILL THE LATEST LP ON THE COVER FRONT - IS ANYONE SERIOUSLY TRYING TO SAY THAT THESE DIDNT CAME WITH THIS LP????  OF COURSE NOT!!!!  THESE BOOKLETS WERE 100% DESIGNED TO COME WITH THIS LP - AND THIS LP ONLY!!!! 

5) AND THERE IS ONE MORE PIECE OF DAMNING PROOF THAT THIS BOOKLET WITH MADE TO COME WITH THE FEW HUNDRED 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP - AND WAS INSIDE EVERY ONE OF THE FEW HUNDRED 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS THAT WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE ONE!!!!  AT THE BACK OF THE BOOKLET RIGHT AT THE VERY BOTTOM THERE IS PRINTED A '371' (MARCH 1971) DATE CODING!!!!  AND WHEN WAS THIS LP RELEASED????  6TH MATCH 1971!!!!  PROVING BEYOND ALL DOUBT - THAT THIS BOOKLET WAS DESIGNED FOR THIS LP AND THIS LP ALONE!!!!

SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THE BOOKLET WITH THIS LP WAS INSIDE THE COVER FROM DAY 1, WAS NEVER PICKED UP LATER - AND WAS SOLELY DESIGNED FOR THIS LP ONLY!!!!  ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES CAN POSSIBLY EXIST LIKE THIS TODAY (IT IS FAR FAR RARER THAN THE 'LET IT BLEED' BOOKLET!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!
