ROLLING STONES Their Satanic Majesties Request (Super Rare 1967 UK earliest first press 10-track deep groove MONO vinyl LP on the light blue, unboxed Decca label, housed in the original lenticular 3-D laminated gatefold picture sleeve with red psychedelic inner. Note, this is a true mono mix indicated by the 'P' matrices in the run-out grooves & not a later stereo fold down to mono pressing. What's more, this is THE earliest UK label design for this issue, with the track 5 title splitover two lines & with the bracketed composer credits in itallics on both labels, historically the last Stones album release to show itallic composer credits.

Tracklisting & More Information

History:

The sixth release by the Rolling Stones was recorded over a number of sporadic sessions amidst a blur of court appearances, prison sentences, & psychedelic drugs. Arguably one of the Stones' more 'out there' affairs, it received mixed reviews at the time, & remains a controversial release in their back catalogue. This is the earliest known pressing of the album we have found.

Matrix Numbers & Mono Mix
Side 1 - ARL-8126-1P
Side 2 - ARL-8127-P1

The original master tape was mixed two times, the first one was used for mono records only and the second one was used both for mono and stereo records. The two mixes, in this instance, used for pressing the mono record can be identified by the matrix number.

As the matrix numbers on this copy contain the 'P' identifier, it confirms a first, true mono mix. Later 'T' matrices were in fact the stereo recording folded down to one channel to create a mono sound.

Take the song “The Lantern” for example. There is a bell tolling in the beginning of the song. A true mono record has the bell tolling three times before the music starts. A fold down from stereo to mono AND a real stereo LP has the bell tolling two times before the music starts.

Sleeve:

This is the first issue gatefold sleeve, with the mono text on the bottom right hand corner of the back of the sleeve, later issues had this printed on the top right hand corner. Also worth noting that if you look closely in the 3D part of the sleeve you can pick out images of Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison lurking amongst the psychedelia. Good luck, it took us a while to spot them!

The sleeve displays minimal sign of wear, with the lenticular 3D image remaining firmly intact. Obtained from a one owner collection & bought from new at the time, the cover remains Near Mint. The panels are nice & clean with the 3D grating design still laying flat. The red flame inner is present & correct with no splits or creases.

Labels & Vinyl:

The labels reveal just a few spindle marks by the centre hole to indicate play.

The heavyweight vinyl has been professionally cleaned on a top of the line Matrix machine. The vinyl is graded Excellent with just some very faint blemishes/hairlines visible under strong light, all forgiveable with age that in no way effect playback. A stunning collector's example & easily one of the best on the market.

Of note, this is only the THIRD time we've found a TRUE, exclusive MONO mix of this record in a long time but it's also only the SECOND time we've found this earliest known label design pressing, with over thirty years trading this shows just how rare this pressing is. Recommended.
