Description
An original 1st press of Beggars Banquet on the UK Decca label. Matrix 1K/2K. Stampers 1C/1K - very nice early copy from the 1st mother. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original stereo gatefold cover which mentions 'patents pending'. These covers are believed to be the very 1st variant for BB way back in November 1968. Also included is the original Decca inner sleeve date coded 11-68 [the month of 1st release!]. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In absolutely superb condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks either side - nothing heavy or likely to cause significant issue. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with one slight deviation. Intros and inbetweens are very nice and quiet and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Even the acoustic tracks play super-clean and it really is a very impressive rendition. Interference is borderline non-existent. All we could detect were a few crackles in a couple of isolated moments. The only deviation is right at the outset of SYMPATHY - there's a couple of light ticks and one 'pop' - right at the start in the bongos. So, if you were going to have one pop anywhere....that's the place to have it..as it's over right at the start before you know it. A beautiful player by any standard and it would be hard to improve upon.
Cover (Ex) In lovely condition and has clearly been looked after down the years. That iconic cover is still nice and white and seems to have avoided the ageing process. Front and back are nice and clean with barely any creasing at all. The interior is in great shape too - barely any issue at all. Edge wear is light for this title, and there's little on the spine too. Please bear in mind that whilst the text is all still legible on the spine there's a bit of creasing and a tiny 0.5 c.m. split at one end. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity and lies totally flat. A terrific example.
Inner (Ex-) Light ageing. No splits.
