Description
ORIGINAL 1968 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE LP: "BEGGARS BANQUET".
THIS IS A 1ST PRESSING ON THE DECCA UNBOXED LOGO LABEL IN MONO-
MOST COPIES SOLD IN 1968 ONWARDS WERE BOXED LOGOS AND/OR STEREO PRESSINGS AS BY THEN,EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO LPs WITH FEWER MONO COPIES STOCKED AND NATURALLY MOST THAT WERE STICKING WITH MONO WERE USING OLDER, HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITH HARDLY ANY COPIES SURVIVING IN DECENT SHAPE! THIS IS THE EXCEPTION-A MAGNIFICENT COPY THAT HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS SINCE BOUGHT BACK IN 1968!
DECCA LK 4955 WITH 4A/3A MATRIXES AS WELL AND PRESSED ON VERY THICK,HIGH QUALITY,100% FLAT VINYL!
THIS COPY HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT,WISPY AND SMALL HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT. GENUINE UPGRADER EXAMPLE! HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS
SMALL SPINDLE WEAR.CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!
THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER HAS A FEW TINY CREASES-MOSTLY AT THE EDGES AND A LITTLE MILD STAINING AT THE EDGES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED. THERE ARE EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS.
PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS!
