FROM THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION:
THE ROLLING STONES / "BEGGARS BANQUET" 1968 UK 1st press Decca Mono LP  Matrices: XARL-8476-6A & XARL-8477-3A Mother/stamper codes: 1/CB & 1/BM(?) See this LP in HIGH-RESOLUTION photos
CONDITION

DISC: This rare UK 1st (and only) pressing Mono LP is visually in EXCELLENT+/EXCELLENT condition. Both sides show full gloss, with only some very light sleeve removal marks and signs of play. Both wide band Decca labels show minimal spindle trails. Please note: The Side 1 label uses a different typeface from the Side 2 label.

COVER: The Garrod & Lofthouse outside-laminated cover is in EXCELLENT condition. Cream-colored covers show the slightest flaws, and this example has very few. On the front side, a few laminate pinches are near the spine. Also on the front along the spine is a slight discoloration strip, as seen in the high-resolution photo. Because this discoloration is so slight and uniform, it likely was caused in the cover's manufacture. Overall, this cover is a beautiful example, and part of a rare Mono set.

INNER SLEEVE: The Decca polythene-lined die-cut inner sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition, with a few signs of storage wear.

GRADING INFORMATION I grade conservatively. MINT is a sealed LP; NEAR MINT is an open LP/cover
with virtually no signs of use/wear; EXCELLENT is a well-looked-after LP/cover
with light signs of use/wear; VERY GOOD+ is an LP/cover with average signs of
use/wear but is not trashed. I use unforgiving sunlight and incandescent light to visually grade each LP. I don’t make unverifiable claims as to how many plays a non-sealed LP has had. SHIPPING
Please note: eBay's shipping cost is only an estimate and may not reflect actual shipping cost.
