Description

Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated X (Also known as Rated R)
Very rare UK 2000 1st pressing, produced in very limited quantities at the time and now highly sought-after. This UK 1st pressing has a Parental Advisory sticker on the front cover not found on any other version of the album, as well as explicit images on the inner gatefold and a bare female bottom on the B side label. Due to ebay's policies, I'm unable to add images of these to the listing, however the condition of these elements is as impressive as the rest of this fantastic example.
Mark Lanegan signed the cover in gold sharpie during his 2017 UK tour.
Matrices: Side A: 490864-1 + A FSV RAYS  -A- Side B: 490864-1 -B- FSV
The "RAYS" in the Side A matrix indicates that this version was cut and mastered by Ray Staff, whose work is widely praised. Only this very rare UK 1st press was mastered by him and it is widely considered to be the definitive edition of the album.
The back cover also has the text "Don't make me beg, just f*** me" (expletive is not censored on cover)
The record is in lovely condition with high-sheen and strong, glossy surfaces bearing only some very light marks and a few rare sleeve-removal hairlines visible when the record is scrutinised under a strong, direct light source.
The bold gatefold cover and printed inner sleeve are also in beautiful condition. Please see the in-depth photos to gauge the condition of the sleeve for yourself.
A fantastic example of this sought-after original pressing rarity!
