Here we have a SCARCE early era, 1ST PRESSING, LP by THE ROLLING STONES .   Titled ; "BEGGARS BANQUET" (1968)  . 
  This is a COLLECTOR'S ITEM, it being a (rare) STEREO FIRST PRESSING (unboxed logo). 
As well as being SCARCE, this is a great album with several great songs including "Sympathy For The Devil" , "Jig-Saw Puzzle", "Street Fighting Man" ,  & "Stray Cat Blues".  All 10 songs on the Album are credited to Mick Jagger & Keith Richard, however, "Prodigal Son" was actually written by veteran Bluesman, Rev. Robert Wilkins.     My favourite Stones Album, 10 out of 10 !

Features the Original Line-Up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richard, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts & Brian Jones (his last Stones LP whilst alive).  Nicky Hopkins plays Piano.  Ric Grech (Family & Blind Faith) plays Fiddle on "Factory Girl; Dave Mason (Traffic) plays Mandolin on the same track.
