On offer here from my rare record collection is The Rolling Stones 'Let It Bleed' the 1969 DECCA UNBOXED MONO original UK 1st pressing with 1a 1a matrixes!!!! Of note is 1A 1A pressings are becoming rarer and rarer to find due to the very small production run before DECCA changed the mother plate to 2a for mass production. THIS ALBUM IS FANTASTIC AND IT IS IDENTIFIED BY MANY AS THE ROLLING STONES FINEST WORK!!!! THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED BUT I HAVE TEST PLAYED IT BEFORE LISTING TO REPORT THAT IT PLAYS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANTLY in fantastic mono!!! It really sounds great on both sides when played loud!!! The music is ultra clear with the bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from a 1st Press DECCA UK mono vinyl!!! Overall this lp retains an excellent listen which is amazing for a record of this age and rarity!!! 

In addition to its excellent audio return, this album is truly complete as can be seen by the listing photo.  It comes with a copy of the rare promo catalogue and with a great VK poster which has never been away from the solid stickered outer cover with its mono/stereo peep hole in the back  AND it comes with the original 1ST EDITION RED MONO INNER identifying the London Bach Choir credit!!!!  This credit was later removed by Decca. 

In grading the album, I can say that the vinyl/wax on both sides is in GREAT condition!!!! Most of these 60s Stones LPs are as you expect usually found WITH lots of SCRATCHES. This one is NOT one of those.  It has been protected by my Father since its purchase in 1969. THE WHOLE RECORD SHINES !!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!

It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record must grade at M- !!!!  As said above, the record comes in its ORIGINAL 'Let It Bleed' inner which is PERFECT, NO splits, NO stains, etc  The POSTER is in STUNNING condition with NO rips, NO tears, NO wear, NO stains and NO pinholes!!!! The poster has clearly NEVER been out of the cover!!!! The STICKERED Cover advertising the free VK  poster is in EXCELLENT + condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear. It retains ALL its original flatness, MEGA shiny laminate and NO writing!!!! The unlaminated back is also in excellent + condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, NO grubbyness and NO yellowing!!!! Just the slightest of corner wear!

THE COPY OF THE LIB PROMO BOOKLET WHICH COMES WITH THIS ALBUM SHOWING PHOTOS OF THE BAND AND THEIR PAST ALBUM CATALOGUE IS EXTREMELY RARE.
THE PROMO CATALOGUE WAS ONLY ISSUED WITH THE VERY FIRST RUN OF THIS ALBUM.
