ATTENTION THE ROLLING STONES,1960s ALBUM COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE LP: "BEGGARS BANQUET". 

 PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS.  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 MON 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! JUST ONE PREVIOUS,VERY CAREFUL OWNER!

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! I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF ISOLATED "POPS" ON ONE TRACK! NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.  STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION!   NO SPINDLE WEAR.CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "IMPORTANT" POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE! 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.

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.MANY MORE RARE LPs IN MOSTLY NEAR MINT CONDITION FROM ME ON EBAY FOR AUCTION WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF THIS AUCTION ENDING!.ALTHOUGH I AM STATING RATES FOR STANDARD 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR/STANDARD AIR MAIL WITH NO INSURANCE-FOR PEACE OF MIND AND AS THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE,I WOULD SUGGEST TO SEND THIS LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IN A SAFE,SOLID PARCEL BUT PERSONAL COLLECTION FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH IS WELCOME AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR RECORDS SOLD FOR TOTAL CONFIDENCE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
