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 MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Red MONO 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 - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE MONO!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  BACK IN VERY LATE 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, VIRTUALLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WAS MADE IN COMMON STEREO - WITH VIRTUALLY NONE IN MEGA RARE MONO AT ALL!!!!  IN FACT, THIS WAS ONE OF THE LAST LPs EVER TO BE MADE AVAILABLE IN MONO ON THE DECCA LABEL - BEFORE DECCA ENDED ALL MONO PRODUCTION IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS!!!!  AS A RESULT FINDING A 1969 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IS VERY VERY HARD INDEED!!!! 

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL IS THAT IT IS 100% COMPLETE - WITH ITS ORIGINAL POSTER, 'STICKERED' COVER, AND 'LET IT BLEED' INNER SLEEVE!!!!  AND FINDING THIS LP 100% COMPLETE IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE - AS NEARLY ALWAYS THERE IS EITHER 1 (OR MORE!) PART OF THIS LP MISSING OR BADLY DAMAGED!!!!  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  ALL OF THIS LPs 'EXTRAS' ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND EVEN THE ULTRA RARE FRAGILE MONO 'LET IT BLEED' INNER IS COMPLETELY UNSPLIT (SUPERB EXAMPLE!), AND THE POSTER IS SIMPLY STUNNING!!!!  THIS LP IS EXTREMELY RARE INDEED, TO FIND ABSOLUTELY 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'STICKERED' COVER, 'LET IT BLEED' MONO INNER SLEEVE & ULTRA RARE POSTER - AND IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!! 

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS THE ALL TIME RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE (WITH ULTRA RARE DIFFERENT LABELS!) - AND ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!)!!!!  AND THIS MAKES IT THE RAREST VERSION OF THIS LP EVER MADE - AND ONE OF THE RAREST ROLLING STONES LPs OF ALL TIME!!!!  THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1969, AND ENTERED THE UK CHARTS JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS 1969.  IT SOLD IN HUGE AMOUNTS, AND BY JANUARY 1969 STARTED ITS SLOW DROP DOWN THE CHARTS, EVENTUALLY DROPPING OUT OF THE CHARTS COMPLETELY IN JUNE 1969.  HOWEVER!!!!  DECCA DID 2 VERY IMPORTANT THINGS WHILST THIS LP WAS IN THE UK CHARTS!!!!  FIRSTLY - AT THE BEGINNNG OF FEBRUARY 1970 (AROUND 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RELEASE DATE), THEY CHANGED THE DECCA LABELS FROM THE 'UNBOXED' DECCA LABEL WHICH HAD BEEN USED THROUGHOUT THE 1960s - TO THE 'BOXED' DECCA LABEL (WHICH WAS USED THROUGHOUT THE 1970s).  AND THEN IN EARLY MARCH 1970 - THEY ENDED ALL MONO PRODUCTION OF THIS LP FOREVER!!!!  SO ALTHOUGH ALL OF THESE LPs WERE UNDOUBTEDLY 1ST PRESSINGS (AS THEY WERE CONTINUIOUS FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE'!) THE RAREST ONES OF ALL ARE THE 'BOXED' MONOs WHICH WERE ONLY MADE IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (AS THIS LP WAS SELLING FAR LESS BY THEN!) BETWEEN EARLY FEBRUARY 1970 AND EARLY MARCH 1970, WHEN MONOs WERE DELETED FOREVER!!!!  AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS LP IS!!!!  WHEREAS 'UNBOXED' MONOs OF THIS LP APPEAR ONLINE ALMOST EVERY WEEK - THESE FAR FAR RARER 'BOXED' MONOs ALMOST NEVER DO - BECAUSE THEY WERE DELETED IMMEDIATELY!!!!  THEY WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED FOR 1/4 THE TIME THE 'UNBOXED' MONOs WERE MADE FOR, AND ONLY SOLD 1/20th AS MANY!!!!  YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT MOST SALES OF THIS LP TOOK PLACE IN THE FIRST 2 MONTHS OF RELEASE - AND SALES WERE ONLY A FRACTION OF WHAT THEY ONCE WERE WHEN THIS BOXED MONO WAS INTRODUCED (2 MONTHS AFTER RELEASE!)!!!!  PLUS MONO PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE DEAD IN THIS WATER BY THIS POINT - SO IT REALLY IS A WONDER THAT DECCA BOTHERED MAKING THEM AT ALL!!!!  AND PLEASE DONT GET CONFUSED WITH 'BOXED STEREOS' - BECAUSE UNLIKE MONOs THESE WERE NEVER DELETED - AND REMAINED AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE 1970s!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE RAREST VERSION OF THIS LP EVER MADE, ONLY PRESSED IN TINY AMOUNTS (BEFORE MONOs WERE DELETED FOREVER!) AND ARE AT LEAST 20 TIMES RARER THAN THE MORE COMMON UNBOXED VERSIONS!!!!  SO THINK VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE PASSING ON THIS LP - FOR THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER 'BOXED MONO' AGAIN - IS VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!!

ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL IS THE 'CENSORED' INNER SLEEVE MYTH (DUE TO PEOPLE SEEING THIS ON STEREOs AND NOT MONOs!)!!!!  THIS HAS THE CORRECT 'CENSORED' INNER SLEEVE - WHICH AGAIN IS ABOUT 20 TIMES RARER THAN THE 'UNCENSORED' VERSION!!!!  NOW OF COURSE - ON THE STEREOs THIS IS COMPLETELY REVERSED, AS STEREOs WERE MADE THROUGHOUT THE 1970s - AND THEREFORE THE 'CENSORED' INNER IS BY FAR THE MORE COMMON!!!!  BUT AS MONOs WERE DELETED FOREVER IN MATCH 1970 (JUST AFTER THE CENSORSHIP OF THE INNER WAS MADE!) - AROUND 90% OF MONO INNER SLEEVES ARE UNCENSORED (VERY COMMON!) AND ONLY 10% HAVE THE ULTRA RARE 'CENSORED' INNER LIKE THIS ONE HAS!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - WITH A BRILLIANT COVER & A STUNNING INNER & POSTER!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK ULTRA RARE MONO 'BOXED' 1ST PRESSING ON THE RAREST EVER 1ST PRESS 'BOXED' RED MONO DECCA LABEL, 'RAREST EVER' 1ST PRESS 'CENSORED' RED MONO 'LET IT BLEED' INNER SLEEVE, ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 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 MONO 1st Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.
