Question ??
Been seeing this one pop up on ebay .. Is it Legit ?
Advertised as Rolling Stones Let It Bleed Rare German Promo LP Sealed
Legit album. Check this page if it´s a fake (esp. the matrix):
[www.vinylstones.org]
Wow...very cool link, thanks for that. Didn't realize that the album was available in Germany PRIOR to the sleeve being completed. Love to know the story behind that one!
The story behind it as far as I can tell - corrections are more than welcome !
German DECCA used British sleeves a few times and for Throught The Past & Let It Bleed they put out Express-Ausgaben (express releases).
1) Their Satanic Majesties Request:
German DECCA used both - with and without 3D-image - sleeves from the UK before they finally had a fold-out sleeve ready without the 3D-image. In fact I have a 3rd variation with the 3D-image glued upside down but that one's rather a "misprint".
2) Through The Past Darkly
released with an Express-artwork to be on time with the release date before the lay-out sketch was available
3) Let It Bleed
same as above
4) Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!
the most interesting one - the 1st edition was made in England (both, cover and LP) but with the GERMAN order-number.
That's what I wrote about it on my web-site:
Because of problems in the German record-plant Nortorf English DECCA
was assigned to produce 2,000 records and covers for the German market.
Both, the cover and the labels come with the German order-number and
with the GEMA-imprint on the labels. This 2,000 copies were sold 2 weeks
prior to the very first original German release. see here: [www.vinylstones.org]
Thanks for that...at what point did they switch to the white DECCA label for the GEMA pressings, or are the blue labels the UK ones you referenced?

Hm, I'm not sure if I understand your question but the blue lables are the UK ones, yes. There was no "switch" to white labels on German DECCA, white labels has always been trade samples, like for example Angie here [www.vinylstones.org]

Thanks for that example, and you sort of get where I'm going. However, I'm referring to the DECCA period, ie GYYYO and earlier, as opposed to the RSR and Atco period.
I have a white label GEMA for GYYYO for instance, which I presumed was the German release, but perhaps that was a later rerelease?

Unfortunately I don't have a picture. I saw it at a record fair. Also, the songs were hand written on the label. Only the top had factory print with the usual small lines around the edge of the label.

Which order-numer is on your white label GYYYO - English (SKL 5065) or German (SLK 16 670-P) ? I have a white-label as well but it's an English copy with English order number and as with many (?) / all (?) British releases "GEMA" is printed on the label. In the 60's and in the 70's (from an Austrian point of view, most likely the same in Germany) imports of LPs which were already manufactured in Germany or Austria were forbidden by law. I still remember when I ordered The Rolling Stones Now! around 1976 in Vienna - when it finally arrived it was handed over to me like a bootleg, no matter that Now! was never released over here but more or less the same as No.2. But for whatever reason UK LPs were allowed and got sold heavily. Probably the reason for the GEMA-sign on all those records.
In the late 70s things changed and it was possible to buy records like Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks but still "no way" to obtain an US-copy of BB or LIB for instance.

so not even a promo, but a test pressing or something. Very cool, what did they want for it?

All UK pressed Ya Ya's has GEMA on both blue and white labels. The white label LP you have is a UK pressed LP.

I should know this, but when did they switch to the CUN prefix on the catalogue number from the COC?
Any additional value to this do you figure or just an interesting curio?

Does any one knows if this record is rare? bit strange as I thought I knew all the Dutch realeases but I don't know this one.
This one seems to be released in 1968...
I saw it to day in a record shop.........

If you ever visit Stockholm there is a street, St:Eriksgatan (gata=street), where there are many vinyl stores. I used to go there in the 90s whenever I was in Stockholm, spending a couple of hours searching for Stones boots. These were the days before internet. The stores all still there though. And there are some in Gamla Stan (Old Town) and on Söder (South, Sthlm) too. The prices are usually very decent.

Reminds me of the times that I used to peruse the streets of Cambridge , Ma ( Harvard Square ) to find obscure recordings . I bought a US mono 3 - D Satanic Majesties Request In the '70's for about $ 50.00 . It was a great find before ebay was around .. LMOA

It's possible, but it said on the cover "Made in Holland" did you ever saw this one Steffie?

Is this rare? It's titled The Rolling Stones vol. 4 and presumably it was printed in China. It has stuff from 64-65 and it's printed on orange, semi-transparent vinyl. It has also lyrics to all the songs.
