Oddly this metal acetate comes with the DECCA test pressing label, when usually all UK acetates
from "Let It Bleed" are on EMIdisc labels
Maybe produced end of September, label has already "Let It Bleed" written

Let It Bleed

Unsure authenticity
WARNING:
Some fake acetates/test-pressings appeared in the market in the last years,
since I´m not a expert in these items, my advice is to confirm all the details, 
such as labels and matrix numbers with collectors before buy any of those


Olympic Studios - March 1969
