Original Decca Mono LP alone in Ebay (or other places) about 500 euros in excellent condition....
Anyone heard both of these records?

The price of the UK MONO Let It Bleed is not due to the musical content - a mere fold down, actually. Fact is that England is the only Country where this album was issued in mono: all Collectors willing to get a copy must buy an English one.
That said, the boxed variation is even rarer than the original open label: few copies pressed toward the end of the age of mono.
Price is always high and you have to deal with this, if the set you're buying has the proper sticker, the poster and the correct inner sleeve, with or without the black stamp on the London Bach Choir.
Last but not least, please don't compare the original with the latest re-issue...

1. At ABKCO, they never do exact replicas of the originals. They do something that reminds the original, without getting close to a good copy.They usually choose the easier way when re-making labels, covers and records.
2. Nowadays, vinyl is pressed using mix, masters and balance made CD-wise and then also used to press vinyl.Even if the original masters were used, they were treated for the CD release and later used to make the vinyl, without caring to introduce those necessary variations the lack of which makes modern vinyl sound different respect the old ones.
3. The original Let it Bleed has that fantastic smell that sends me crazy, the new one does not smell
4. yes, GBP 500 is a lot of money! By the way, I not paid it that much. There's not only eBay in our World, record fairs are cheaper and much more fun. I believe that this can be bought for GBP 250, at a record fair.
