Description
The Rolling Stones "Beggars Banquet" Decca Records LK.4955 Mono First UK Pressing
Matrix/Run Out Side 1 : XARL-8476-4A
Side 2 : XARL-8477-2A
Dark red 'unboxed' Decca label with silver lettering; full frequency range recording 'ffrr' 'ear' logo.
The label design differs in many UK parallel editions:
On this release the font used is more narrow than usual; the matrix number is in parenthesis, inverted above the cat.# and below J/T code,.
The GEMA caption has no full stops in between the characters.
Side indication on the labels on the right hand side of the spindle hole.
Released in a laminated gatefold sleeve and with a colour-coded inner sleeve, although this album is housed in a blue (stereo) instead of a red (mono) inner.
"We are deeply indebted to Nicky Hopkins and to many friends "

Sleeve printed by Garrod And Lofthouse International Limited Patents Pending.
Vinyl in good shape. Some surface marks but the album plays through beautifully on my Dansette. Sleeve shows signs of wear but spine is intact and legible. "Colin" has written his name on the label for posterity.
This is a rare and much sought after album.
