BELOW IS AN INTRODUCTION BY JAN RICHARDSON, ON HIS WEBSITE, TO THE ROLLING STONES ALBUM 'LET IT BLEED'.
''Let It Bleed was issued on December 5th of 1969, the day before Altamont was bleeding''
''Musically this is one of the best Stones LP’s ever made. It has a lot of strong titles on it and as a matter of fact all songs have at some point been included in the set list during the “modern touring era” of the band, being the last twenty years or so. It also features two musicians that never met in person, Brian Jones and Mick Taylor. I did personally ask Taylor about this a few years back and he confirmed it to be so''
''Let It Bleed is also a wonderful LP to collect as there are lots of versions existing. The LP sold in large quantities for a number of years, resulting in lots of reprints. Another contributing factor is that it came out just around the time when lots of production changes were taking place at Decca. Label change from non boxed to boxed and mono production was about to be dropped. This is also the first LP were you can say that the boxed logo is an original. You could probably have found four different LIBs in the shops at the same time in the beginning of 1970, Mono non boxed and boxed, Stereo non boxed and boxed''
''By having a look on matrix, mother and stamper numbers together with label type it also gives an indication that non boxed and boxed logos were in production at the same time. I have a boxed with -1W matrix and a non boxed with a -5W matrix in my collection''
In addition to the label versions there are a number of other things to look out for. The cover has lots of differences, so has the inner bag. You also have the famous poster, the poster stickers and the poster text on the cover. Taking into consideration all differences found on Let It Bleed, you may easily end up with a collection with something like 25-30 different LP's''
