BEGGARS BANQUET

MONO

 THIS IS THE SECOND STONES ALBUM TO BE LISTED AND THERE WILL BE A COUPLE MORE IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS !!! ANOTHER FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, AND A REAL STONES CLASSIC, AND OFTEN OVERLOOKED, BUT IT IS ONE OF THEIR BEST ALBUMS PRODUCED!! PLAYS SUPERB, AND HAS THE FIRST MONO UNBOXED LABELS TO BE PRINTED FOR THIS ALBUM!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS MONO :: -6A  ::  -2A .

EARLY STAMPERS :: 1 CM  ::  1 UH .

ON THE 1ST VARIATION RED UNBOXED DECCA LABEL :: LK. 4955 .

THIS FIRST LABEL HAS THE 'BIEM' AND 'NCB' IN BOXES, THEN UNDERNEATH, 'GEMA', AND UNDER THAT, 'MIRAGE MUSIC'. WITH J/T AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE LABEL ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO )

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED MONO PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED :: VERY NICE SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH ONLY A SMALL RUB ON THE SPINE CORNERS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE HAVING NO ISSUES AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP :: THE LAMINATE AND GOLD EDGES ARE ALSO IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT, AND THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE SIDE AND THREE SMALL EAR SHAPED LAMINATE CREASE LINES TOWARDS THE OPENING EDGE ALONG WITH A TINY MARK ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO, NOTHING MUCH AT ALL REALLY ) :: THE BACK IS BEST DESCRIBED AS THE FRONT, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS ONLY A BIT OF PAPER LOSS JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE INNER SPINE AT THE TOP ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: VERY NICE ORIGINAL MONO GATEFOLD, AND I WOULD GRADE AS ::  EX/EX- . DUE TO THAT BIT OF PAPER LOSS INSIDE THE GATEFOLD !!

VINYL :: WELL THE AUDIO PLAYS VERY NICE INDEED AND WITH LOVELY CLEAR CRISP MONO SOUND. VISUALLY THE VINYL UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT HAS QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW FINE COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WHICH DISAPPEAR WHEN ANGLED AWAY FROM LIGHT, SO THIS WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE NO NASTY SCRATCHES OR MARKS, AND NO AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO THERE ARE NO STICKS, JUMPS OR SKIPS . VERY NICE AUDIO AND ALL I HEARD WAS, FOUR SOFT TICKS AT THE END OF TRACK 1, ONE SOFT TICK JUST AFTER THE START AND FOUR SECONDS OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 2. THERE IS A SOFT TICK HALF WAY ON TRACK 3. THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACK 3 AND 4, AND TWO SOFT POPS BETWEEN TRACKS 4 AND 5 ( WHICH ARE NOT ON THE AUDIO ) :: WHILE ON SIDE 2 THERE IS JUST ONE TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 AND A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACK 3 AND 4 (AND AGAIN NOT ON THE AUDIO ) :: SOUNDS A LOT WHEN YOU READ IT, BUT IF YOU GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN, IT IS NOTHING MUCH AT ALL, AND THIS IS FOR BOTH SIDES. I COULD JUST HAVE SAY, VG OR EX, BUT I THINK IT IS THE FAIREST AND THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE VINYL AUDIO IN FULL, SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WILL PLAY LIKE IF YOU DECIDE TO BID....THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE OR OVER THE AUDIO, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU NOTHING TO SPOIL THIS BRILLIANT ALBUM, SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: A VERY STRONG EX .

LABELS :: JUST SOME LIGHT SMALL SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE , AND A NAME ON BOTH LABELS..SO :: VG+ . 

ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER :: NO WRITING OR SPLITS, JUST SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES AND A TINY TEAR AT THE CENTRE ON ONE SIDE ONLY :: VG/VG+ .

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. A TOTALLY COMPLETE ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS MONO, WITH THOSE VERY 1ST VARIATION MONO UNBOXED LABELS. THE SOUND  QUALITY IS CLEAR AND CRISP, AND VISUALLY THERE ARE THOSE COSMETICS AS MENTIONED ABOVE, WHICH HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO!!!!!! NO RESERVE AND LOW START PRICE AS ALWAYS !!!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
