	£		350

ATTENTION THE ROLLING STONES COLLECTORS!  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THE ESSENTIAL ROLLING STONES ALBUM: "LET IT BLEED". THE BAND'S BEST ALBUM! ALTHOUGH THE EARLIEST EDITIONS INCLUDED A POSTER WITH THE COVER STICKER SHOWING THIS,THERE IS NO POSTER INCLUDED HOWEVER THE RECORD IS STILL FROM THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE AS IT HAS THE EARLY P-1A/P-2A MATRIXES AND THE "UNBOXED" LOGOS WHICH ENDED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF THE ALBUM'S DEBUT-LATER REPRESSES HAVING THE "BOXED LOGOS" AS WELL AS HOUSED IN THE SPECIAL INNER SLEEVE WITH DETAILS OF THE ADDITIONAL MUSICIANS ETC INCLUDING THE "LONDON BACH CHOIR" WHO FOR SOME STRANGE REASON WERE BLOCKED OUT ON LATER SPECIAL INNERS! THIS ONE HAS NOT HAD THAT DONE AND AS SUCH IS THE MOST DESIRABLE. IT HAS A FEW CORNER CREASES BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR STAINING!         THE LABELS HAVE THE SMALL GROOVE 1CM FROM THE CENTRE HOLE. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED AN ADDITIONAL RED MONO INNER SLEEVE FROM THE SAME TIME HAVING THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" AND "UK PATENTS APPLICATIONS NUMBER" CREDIT UNLIKE LATER INNERS.

DECCA LK 5025 WITH P-1A/P-2A MATRIXES.

THIS LP IS VERY STRICTLY GRADED IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES. JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! THICK VINYL.HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR! SUPER CLEAN LABELS! 100% FLAT AND THICK VINYL!

IN 1969 THE DEMAND FOR MONO LPs WAS MINIMAL AS EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS WERE FITTED WITH COMPATABLE CARTRIDGES AND STYLI THAT COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO RECORDS AND AS SUCH MOST DEALERS WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THE MONO PRESSINGS TO SPECIAL ORDER. BEARING IN MIND,THOSE THAT WERE STILL STICKING WITH MONO WERE IN MOST CASES USING OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS RADIOGRAMS AND AUTOCHANGERS THAT WOULD CAUSE ALL SORTS OF TERRIBLE DAMAGE.THIS COPY HAS NOT HAD THAT FATE AND IS SIMPLY STUNNING WITH FANTASTIC CLEAR SOLID MONO SOUND! ONE OF THEN BEST SOUNDING MONO COPIES I HAVE FOUND IN YEARS!

HOUSED IN THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER WITH THE POSTER STICKER THAT MOST PEELED OFF. THERE ARE EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS.IT HAS THE DIE CUT MONO/STEREO HOLE AT THE BACK WHICH ENDED BY THE END OF 1970(JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER) WHEN THE MONO VERSIONS WERE NO LONGER PRODUCED! LATER COVERS WERE MATT FINISH! THERE ARE A FEW MINOR EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS,REPAIRS OR MAJOR STAINING.  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS!

SOLID AND CAREFUL PACKING-CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK COMMENTS FOR CUSTOMER REPORTS!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
