Description
THE ROLLING STONES — THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST
1967 UK 1st Pressing — TRUE MONO MIX — Original 3D Lenticular Cover
A genuinely rare copy of the Stones’ psychedelic masterpiece in the definitive, true mono mix. This was the band’s only overtly psychedelic statement, their answer to Sgt. Pepper’s, and this pressing is how it was originally intended to be heard.
PRESSING DETAILS:
• Label: Decca, blue/silver unboxed “Long Playing / Full Frequency Range Recording”
• Catalogue: TXL 103 (mono)
• Matrices: ARL-8126-1P / ARL-8127-P1 — confirmed TRUE MONO mix
• Made in England, 1967
• NOT a later T2 fold-down pressing
PACKAGING:
• Original 3D lenticular gatefold front cover — fully intact, image clear and vibrant
• Complete with original red/white psychedelic “red smoke” inner sleeve
• Maze motif and collage gatefold artwork present
CONDITION (Goldmine grading):
• Sleeve: [VG — some light edge/corner wear consistent with age, spine intact, 3D cover shows no peeling or damage]
• Vinyl: [VG+ — light surface marks visible but no deep scratches; plays [well/cleanly/with minimal surface noise — only state if you’ve actually played it]]
• Inner sleeve: [VG — intact, no splitting]
Please see photos for full condition — they form part of the description. Happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos before purchase.
WHY THIS MATTERS: The original 3D lenticular cover was only used for the first pressing — later issues replaced it with a flat photograph. Combined with the true mono mix (distinguishable by the 1P/P1 matrices and the three tolling bells at the start of “The Lantern”), this is the collector’s version of the album.
