On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rolling Stones called "Let It Bleed" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK STEREO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press UNBOXED Blue STEREO Decca label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER ROLLING STONES LPS EVER MADE - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL IS THAT IT IS 100% COMPLETE - WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'COLOUR' POSTER, 'STICKERED' COVER, AND 'LET IT BLEED' INNER SLEEVE!!!!  AND FINDING THIS LP 100% COMPLETE IS VERY VERY HARD INDEED - AS NEARLY ALWAYS THERE IS EITHER 1 (OR MORE!) PART OF THIS LP MISSING!!!!  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  ALL OF THIS LPs 'EXTRAS' ARE IN BRILLIANT CONDITION, WITH A VERY NICE 'LET IT BLEED' INNER SLEEVE, AND EVEN THE ULTRA RARE & VERY FRAGILE POSTER IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!!!  THIS LP IS EXTREMELY RARE INDEED, TO FIND ABSOLUTELY 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'STICKERED' COVER, 'LET IT BLEED' STEREO INNER SLEEVE & ULTRA RARE 'COLOUR' POSTER - AND IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!

THERE IS ALSO A HUGE MYTH WITH THIS LP - THAT IT ALSO CAME WITH A 'BOOKLET'!!!!  WELL YOU CAN SPEND AN EXTRA £400+ ON ONE WITH THE BOOKLET, BUT THE TRUTH IS (AND THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE FACT!) - IT NEVER DID!!!!  DECCA KNEW THIS LP WAS GOING TO BE THE VERY LAST 'STUDIO' ROLLING STONES LP THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO RELEASE - AND THEY DID INDEED PRODUCE A 'CATALOGUE' BOOKLET WITH A SIMILAR DESIGN ON THE FRONT.  NOW OF COURSE - JUST LIKE OTHER 'PRESS RELEASE' COPIES OF THE TIME (WHICH ALSO HAD 'EXTRAS' THROWN IN - WHICH RELEASED COPIES NEVER HAD!) A TINY HANDFUL OF 'PRE-RELEASE' OR 'PRESS RELEASE' COPIES MADE PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE (FOR RADIO STATIONS, AND PROMOTERS) DID HAVE THE BOOKLET INSIDE - AS THIS WOULD OBVIOUSLY BENEFIT DECCA.  BUT ALL THESE COPIES WOULD BE 'FACTORY TEST PRESSINGS'.  THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE 'BOOKLETS' WAS SIMPLY THAT THEY WERE MADE FOR RECORD SHOPS - AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY FREE TO TAKE FROM RECORD SHOP COUNTERS, AND WERE NEVER PUT INSIDE THE LP ITSELF!!!!  IT IS A BIT LIKE THE INFAMOUS 'APPLE POSTERS' - WHICH HAVE LONG BEEN PUT WITH 'LET IT BE' BOX SETS, BUT IN TRUTH - THEY WERE FOUND IN ANY BEATLES LP IN LATE 1969/EARLY 1970.  AND OF COURSE, THE PROOF OF THIS, IS ACTUALLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COVER!!!!  WHAT RECORD COMPANY IN HISTORY WOULD MISS A CHANCE TO PRINT 'FREE BOOKLET' ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COVER????  BUT IT DOESNT SAY THAT AT ALL - IT IS SAYS 'FREE COLOUR ROLLING STONES POSTER INCLUDED' ON THE STICKER ON THE COVER FRONT!!!!  OVER THE YEARS - I HAVE FOUND AT LEAST 10 BOOKLETS.  AND AT LEAST 6 OWNERS REMEMBERED PICKING THEM UP OFF THE SHOP COUNTER AT THE TIME.  I HAVE EVEN FOUND 2 INSIDE 'GET YER YA YAS OUT' ASWELL - WHEN THOSE OWNERS DIDNT EVEN HAVE A 'LET IT BLEED' LP!!!!  SO YES THE BOOKLET IS VERY RARE INDEED, AND YES IT IS DESIRABLE ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION, AND YES INDEED (AS YOU WOULD EXPECT!) IT HAS A LET IT BLEED DESIGN ON THE COVER FRONT - AS THAT WAS THE LATEST LP OUT FROM THE ROLLING STONES AT THE TIME!!!!  BUT IT WAS NEVER AVAILABLE INSIDE RELEASED COPIES OF THIS LP - AND THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE FACT!!!!  AND THIS ALSO WHY YOU QUITE OFTEN SEE THESE 'BOOKLETS' BEING SOLD BY THEMSELVES FAIRLY REGULARLY - AS THE OWNERS PICKED UP THE FREE BOOKLET - BUT NEVER HAD THE LP IT WAS 'SUPPOSED' TO HAVE COME WITH!!!!  OF COURSE, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BIT OF RANT - BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THIS FACT (AS THE PROOF HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE ON THE COVER FRONT!), AND WILL ALSO STOP ANY 'DOES THIS LP HAS A BOOKLET' EMAILS!!!!  BECAUSE APART FROM ANY 'PRE-RELEASE' PROMOTIONAL COPIES SENT OUT TO RADIO STATIONS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE - THIS LP NEVER CAME WITH ANY BOOKLET AT ALL!!!!

THIS LP IS MADE EVER RARER STILL - AS IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE, WITH ULTRA RARE 'TYPE 1' UNBOXED LABELS (SEE PICTURES!) WHICH ONLY LASTED AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME ONLY - AND WERE IMMEDIATELY CHANGED!!!!  ON THESE 'TYPE 1' LABELS - THERE WAS A MASSIVE ERROR WHERE THE '33 1/3' SPEED WAS COMPLETELY MISSING!!!!  AND SO THESE LABELS ARE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STOPPED - AND REPLACED WITH LABELS WITH '33 1/3' SPEED ADDED!!!!  BARELY ANY COPIES EXIST WITH THESE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'TYPE 1' LABELS TODAY, AND THEY ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION (WITH AN AWESOME RECORD!) - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL (ONLY ONCE OR TWICE AT THE VERY MOST!)!!!!  THE POSTER DOESNT EVEN LOOK TO HAVE EVER LEFT THE COVER, AND THE 'LET IT BLEED' INNER SLEEVE IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS UNBOXED BLUE STEREO DECCA LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'TYPE 1' LABELS, 1ST PRESS BLUE STEREO 'LET IT BLEED' INNER SLEEVE, ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'COLOUR' POSTER, AND 1ST PRESS LAMINATED 'STICKERED' COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK STEREO 1st Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.
