Rolling Stones 1st Press UK LP Beggars Banquet VG+ ’68 Unboxed Decca MONO LK4955
Original 1st Press UK LP released in 1968 on the unboxed Decca Red & Silver Label. Cat: LK 4955. This album is in MONO. Comes in full gloss gatefold sleeve. Matrix numbers are: XARL-8476-6A/ XARL-8477-2A.The Stones forsook psychedelic experimentation to return to their blues roots on this celebrated album, which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements. A strong acoustic Delta blues flavor colors much of the material, particularly "Salt of the Earth" and "No Expectations," which features some beautiful slide guitar work. Basic rock & roll was not forgotten, however: "Street Fighting Man," a reflection of the political turbulence of 1968, was one of their most innovative singles, and "Sympathy for the Devil," with its fire-dancing guitar licks, leering Jagger vocals, African rhythms, and explicitly satanic lyrics, was an image-defining epic.
Tracks: Sympathy for the devil/ No expectations/ Dear doctor/ Parachute woman/ Jig-saw puzzle/ Street fighting man/ Prodigal son/ Stray cat blues/ Factory girl/ Salt of the earth.
