Description

BEGGARS BANQUET 1968 mono vinyl album by THE ROLLING STONES

 

You are viewing a rare 12" vinyl album from 1968 entitled, 'BEGGARS BANQUET' recorded by THE  ROLLING STONES. 

This is a UK Pressing released on the DECCA label catalogue number LK 4955, this is the rare MONO version that has the UNBOXED DECCA label on the red centre label and has the matrix numbers of XARL-8476-4A (Side 1) and XARL-8477-2A (Side 2), indicating this is a 1st Issue pressing. 

This record has the J.T. tax code stampers located in the run off groove (12 oClock to the matrix numbers).  The usual tax code stamper is K.T., which indicates that the very early pressing materials were used (pre 1963), making this a very rare pressing!  The track 'Prodigal Son is credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richard, later issues credit this track to Rev. Robert Watkins

The Rolling Stones line up at the time of this recording were: Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman.

Beggars Banquet was Brian Jones' last full effort with the Rolling Stones.  In addition to his slide guitar on 'No Expectations', he played harmonica on 'Dear Doctor', 'Parachute Woman (along with Mick Jagger) and 'Prodigal Son'; Sitar and tambura on 'Street Fighting Man'; Mellatron on 'Jigsaw Puzzle' and Stray Cat Blues' and finally backing vocals on 'Sympathy For The Devil'.

Record VG   decent used copy with  light surface marks nothing major ; plays well with just some light surface noise in places - some light background noise in quieter parts of the tracks, certainly a copy to play and enjoy; no clicking, no jumps. The labels are clean condition, few light marks near the centre, the spindle hole is in excellent shape. A first edition is getting rarer and harder to find, no doubt the purchase price will escalate.

The laminated gatefold album cover VG+ is printed by Garrod and Lofthouse.  As the photographs also show the cover has no cuts, tears or writings and is in a clean condition, the record comes with the original poly lined Inner sleeve with blue writing which is EX- condition
