ROLLING STONES Their Satanic Majesties Request (Rare complete 1968 first Japanese issue 10-track deep groove stereo LP, manufactured & imported directly from England with custom made green labels which bear all the hallmarks of a DeccaUK press['Made In England' perimeter print, machine stamped 'ZAL' matrices in the run-outs] but have the 'London/FFRR' export logo at the top. The front laminated gatefold sleeve has the 3D diffraction grating & red flame inner & must be one ofthe rarest variants to find, also having been made in Britain with the London logo on the back & the 'NPS2' catalogue number [not the same printed sleeve as the UK mono/stereo versions]. Includes the all important Japanese/lyric insert printed in Japan with the "2,200" yen price & "(c)1968" date. This copy comes with what may be one of the rarest obi-strips going; issued with no back, this obi was easily discarded or lost and when questioned, a Tokyo dealer informed us that whilst he had seen the occasional one [he was older than the record!] they were very few and far between, which is a shame as the font and design of this particular obi is steeped in the Sixties and informs us that this is a limited release.
