THE ROLLING STONES Their Satanic Majesties Request (Monster Rare 1968 Japanese promotional 10-track deep groove stereo LP, an original & near mythical Japanese pressing for this album before the UK export version. Not much is out there regarding the history of this promo-only Japanese pressing - our Japanese buyer believes it to be the rarest Stones vinyl LP from the King Records era, as stock copies were imported with UK pressed vinyl. The labels here are custom black on white with the three character Kanji symbol reference left & right on the label for promotional purposes. Comes complete with a US non-laminated gatefold sleeve with the 3D diffraction grating image. The sleeve remains in Excellent condition with just light general wear & very little of the usual bowing to the front panel, there is a past owners name written on the back, but is still really nice. The vinyl is the part we're unlikely to ever see again. A true Japanese promo-only pressing, how many of these are left in circulation must be a tiny handful if that. There is no writing on the labels, just some light foxing commensurate with age. The vinyl grades Very Good & reveals a few faint paper scuffs & the odd couple of hairline marks not upsetting play, and is in a Kin Record Co., Ltd die-cut card sleeve. If you're collecting every Stones variant for this album, this has got to be the hardest one to find... NPS2).
