Description
The Rolling Stones' "Their Satanic Majesties Request" mono LP record from 1967 is a rare mono with P1- 1P matrix and sought-after near mint cover snd Excellent vinyl collectible for fans of the band. Fully play tested, no problems. This first edition, first pressing on the Decca record label
original master tape was mixed two times, the first one was used for mono records only and the second one was used both for mono and stereo records. The two mixes, in this instance, used for pressing the mono record can be identified by the matrix number.
As the matrix numbers on this copy contain the 'P' identifier, it confirms a first, true mono mix. Later 'T' matrices were in fact the stereo recording folded down to one channel to create a mono sound.
Take the song "The Lantern" for example. There is a bell tolling in the beginning of the song. A true mono record has the bell tolling three times before the music starts. A fold down from stereo to mono AND a real stereo LP has the bell tolling two times before the music starts.
This is the first issue sleeve, with the mono text on the bottom right hand corner of the back of the sleeve, later issues had this printed on the top right hand corner. Also worth noting that if you look closely in the 3D part of the sleeve you can pick out images of Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison lurking amongst the psychedelia.
Good luck, it took me a while to spot them!
The red flame inner is present & correct,
