Description
Offered for sale is a still sealed limited edition white vinyl Dutch pressing of Their Satanic Majesties Request by the Rolling Stones.
Note: Most copies of this colored vinyl limited edition pressing were pressed on white vinyl, though a few were made using clear vinyl. As the album is still sealed, the color variation is unknown, but white vinyl copies are more common than clear ones.
This is part of a series of colored vinyl Rolling Stones albums that were issued in the Netherlands in 1978.
About this copy: This copy of Their Satanic Majesties Request is a 1978 Dutch pressing on the Decca label.
As the album is still sealed, the colored vinyl disc is presumably new and unplayed.
The shrink wrap is fully intact with no rips, tears, or holes. There is a minor bend in the lower right hand corner of the cover that is mostly visible from the back. A blurb on the cover says “ROLLING STONES on coloured vinyl limited edition.”
A nice copy of a scarce Stones LP and the first sealed copy we’ve seen since they were first released.
Background: Released in 1967, Their Satanic Majesties Request was the sixth album (in the UK) by the Rolling Stones and their eighth album in the United States. This was the first album by the band to be released in both countries with identical material.
The LP reached #3 on the UK charts and #2 in the U.S. The album was originally released with a lenticular overlay that gave the cover photo a 3D effect.
This album was one of six Rolling Stones albums to be issued on colored vinyl in the Netherlands in 1978.
Allmusic.com gave Their Satanic Majesties Request a 4 star review:
Without a doubt, no Rolling Stones album — and, indeed, very few rock albums from any era — split critical opinion as much as the Rolling Stones’ psychedelic outing. Many dismiss the record as sub-Sgt. Pepper posturing; others confess, if only in private, to a fascination with the album’s inventive arrangements, which incorporated some African rhythms, Mellotrons, and full orchestration. What’s clear is that never before or after did the Stones take so many chances in the studio. … It’s a much better record than most people give it credit for being, though, with a strong current of creeping uneasiness that undercuts the gaudy psychedelic flourishes. In 1968, the Stones would go back to the basics, and never wander down these paths again, making this all the more of a fascinating anomaly in the group’s discography.
