ROLLING STONES Beast Of Burden (Rare 1978 US wide centred
STOCK COPY 7" vinyl single, also including When The Whip
Comes Down, housed in the legendary withdrawn picture sleeve
depicting a lion sitting on a damsel in distress [Maureen O'Sullivan ?].
This single was withdrawn and all the picture sleeves scrapped soon
after the promo copies began to be sent out as some sensitive souls in
the US felt that the image displayed depicted bestiality [!]. Coming hot
on the heels of the threat of legal action from the celebrities depicted
on the original 'Some Girls' LP cover, I suppose the band were not
prepared to take the chance on yet more legal bills & decided to scrap
the sleeve instead. Very few escaped into the wild and this has since
become second only to the 'Street Fighting Man' sleeve in terms of
rarity value. This copy here is in perfect condition, with just the tiniest
scuffing to the bottom edge & free from any creasing, writing, stains or
splits. The 7" itself is also in near 'as new' condition, with both it & the
sleeve being stored safely away for the last thirty years waiting to be
found. Here it is. This is the first copy that we had ever been able to
stock [not for want of trying either!] and we are proud to be able to
offer this one to you in fantastic near 'as new' condition RS19309).
