More PSYCH and Classic 1960's Rock LPs from a fanatically well-kept collection of a long-time former DJ
Mostly 1st PRESSINGS, including a good amount of PROMOs and a few choice IMPORT LPs.
Many of these still in SHRINK WRAP ...several STILL SEALED
Quite a few WLP, Sterling, RL and Masterdisk pressings in the mix!

*Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and am lucky to get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming (as I pause between each auction series to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping) throughout this fall, several hundred to list, so keep checking back.
.
USA Shipping: FREE ...no matter how many LPs
International Shipping Worldwide at EXACT POSTAGE Only cost

Please NOTE:
Some of my PHOTOS suffer from LOW LIGHT lighting conditions (due to very cloudy / rainy days recently).
This causes unavoidable grain and spottiness in image, particularly on dark covers / labels and especially the vinyl.
I apologize for that and assure all bidders that such grain/spots are Digital Artifacts only - are not actually present
on these LP Covers / labels / vinyl themselves at all  - and DO NOT properly represent the true condition.
My camera simply is not able to resolve fine detail in low light ...especially on the vinyl grooves.

In any such case, please always refer to the written grade and description for accurate condition details.
*some of the vinyl is appearing like unearthed ancient archeological artifacts or mars-scapes (!)
If this could have been at all avoided it would have been. ...hopefully new camera soon!

Please see my FEEDBACK and bid with complete confidence.

"Bell Sound" also stamped in trail-off wax both sides.

You don't see these often - and many collectors are still completely unaware that a small amount of the 1st press were made without the paste-on 3-D Hologram on cover.

DISCOGS identifies this as a 1967 "Non-Hologram cover" issue
When I first opened my new/used record store back in the early 1970's I saw a very few cross the buying desk  - but none since then until this one from the fabulous long-time collection I am working through now.

WIDEBAND "STEREOPHONIC" Blue/Silver labels with ZAL 8126 W printed at bottom of label (side 1), ZAL 8127 W at bottom, (side 2).
"front side" printed on label, side 1 - "back side" printed on label, side 2.

ALL text printed CENTERED in BOLD block type with WIDE, LARGE "Artist: THE ROLLING STONES" and "THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST"

"Artist THE ROLLING STONES except * which is Bill Wyman" printed large on BOTH labels below track listing in 2 lines.

Original Psychedelic smoke inner sleeve is unsplit Near Mint?.?
Round seal "Made in U.S.A." at l.l., one side, of sleeve

Lately it has sadly become fashionable to dismiss this incredible album as an odd turn in The Rolling Stones discography, when in truth there is simply killer material here ...CITADEL is one of their heaviest Psych-era songs and one of the very best. She's a Rainbow is, of course, a widely acknowledged classic, while the trippy and spaced 2,000 Light Years From Home is every bit as deep as Hendrix's 3rd Stone From The Sun, Pink Floyd's Interstellar Overdrive or possibly even The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. The more flower-power,-fantasy songs that lean toward Tolkien and The Hobbit? ...Gomper, The Lantern and Bill Wyman's Reverb-drenched In Another Land... if these were written and done by SYD BARRETT everyone would undoubtedly fall all over themselves to say how great they are ... all very stony ...but let our dirty, nasty STONES go there... well, why not? they got more dirty and nasty than ever later on, so there's no need to deny yourself the joy of this cornerstone in the British Psych Rock canon.
.
Bottom line: You don't have to put Their Satanic Majesties Request down in front of your friends to be a true Stones fan. They're going to get over it sooner or later anyway.

Very rare version of this superb album!

Disc kept in separate ANTI-STATIC inner sleeve to protect both the original inner and the vinyl.
