The Rolling Stones – Beggars Banquet
Original UK Decca Mono LP – LK 4955 – Factory Sealed
Don’t miss your chance to own a true time capsule from one of the most important eras in rock history.
Offered here is an original UK Decca mono pressing of Beggars Banquet (catalog LK 4955), still factory sealed. This is one of the most highly desired Rolling Stones albums, and sealed mono examples are exceptionally hard to find.
About the Album
Released in December 1968, Beggars Banquet marked a major turning point for The Rolling Stones, signaling their return to a raw, blues-driven sound after the psychedelic period of Their Satanic Majesties Request. The album contains some of the band’s most iconic material, including:
- Sympathy for the Devil
- Street Fighting Man
- No Expectations
This release helped define the Stones’ late-’60s era and launched their legendary run of classic albums.
Why This Pressing Is Special
- Original UK Decca mono pressing (LK 4955)
- Mono editions were discontinued shortly after release, making them far scarcer than stereo
- UK Decca pressings are widely regarded as the best-sounding versions of Rolling Stones albums
- Factory sealed copies are extremely rare, as most were opened and played decades ago
For collectors, this represents a rare combination of historical importance, sound quality, and preservation.
Condition
- Record: Presumed Mint, as the album remains factory sealed
- Cover:
- Original shrink wrap intact
- Some discoloration consistent with age (approximately 58 years old)
- A couple corners show light shelf wear
