the Rolling Stones classic Beggars Banquet Early UK Pressing from Decca 1968 catalog number SKL4955 in excellent condition 
This issue came out after the "patent pending" was removed from the back of the sleeve. It has the stamped matrix numbers XZAL-8447 1K/2K and it has a mysterious letter etched below that matrix on side 1, as well as J/T stamped in the runout of both sides.  It has the upside down {XZAL.8476/7} above the normal catalog number on the label, has J/T on the label below the date, and gives credit only to Mick Jagger and Keith Richard (without the S and also without the later added credit to one of the tracks).  It comes with original blue paper poly-lined inner sleeve.
Overall excellent condition ! the record is very clean and has just a couple of visible marks, being a light hairline at the beginning of side A and a small hairline at the end of side 2 - both sections have been play tested perfect, as has the whole of the LP.  Excellent condition, especially for age.
Gatefold sleeve is overall excellent - clean and attractive copy.  Some bumping, staining and handling to front cover, while the rear cover has the owners name written in sharpie at the bottom as well as some unfortunate tape at the bottom seam. Backside also has mildly creased upper corners and mild wear to top seam.  Interior of the gatefold is pristine !  Inner sleeve has some creasing and age toning and general wear
