Many people always ask about the Promotional Album. Here is a US (London) and UK (Decca) one next to each other (in the picture of the fronts is also an austrailian "collectors" issue). The UK one is at least 10 or 20 times harder to find than the US one (and I am UK based!). I therefore do not believe there are 200 of each. Either there are less UK or more US copies. JR - time for you to go into more details from a vinyl specialist (junkie) point of view.

bv did say that in a potential new version of the site he hopes to have a museum type section. I think that would be great.

Congrat. Matt, beautiful and very interesting stuff. Please go on.

Stonesblake. I think the honest answer is they typically don't give them away (I have only ever managed to get the obvious band member to give me one of his).
Charlie is supposed to have given several away to taxi drivers etc... having just been given them. In the early years there would have been some kind of ceremony / photo shoot at the record company but now they just turn up at the band members managers office. In other words modern ones will probably never even reach the band members hands.
There are many fakes out there and most are presented to Mick Jagger or Keith Richards as they are the most valuable. Ones presented to random record executives etc... just aren't as valuable for obvious reasons. The exception for me is one that I have that was presented to me :-)
