Title Beggars Banquet Group The Rolling Stones Format Stereo Year of Release 1968 Catalogue Number SKL 4955 Label Blue Decca with no groove and unboxed Decca logo Tax Code on Disc JT Sleeve Manufacturer Garrod & Lofthouse Side 1 Matrix Number XZAL-8476-1K Side 2 Matrix Number XZAL-8477-4K Side 1 Stampers 1 / IK Side 2 Stampers 1 / KM Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in VG condition. Holding up okay, but showing general wear and tear of a sleeve that's coming up to being 60 years old! Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in VG condition. Overall, the disc is looking really nice with a clean shine to it and just some light surface scuffs here and there. Would have graded it an EX- but there's a cosmetic scuff on side 2 at 6 o'clock than can only really be seen under a bright light, but it's there. Doubt it'd make a difference to how it sounded but as I don't have a record player I can't say for certain. Label Condition The labels are in VG+ condition. Both labels are looking fine with just some spindlewear and, overall, clean with no damage or stickers etc. Someone has filled the D in on each label as you can see in the photos below.
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal seller protection policy.
The P+P costs given on each auction are for that auction only. If you win more than one auction please wait until I've
sent you out an amended invoice to combine postage.
All LPs will be mailed out in a strong, corrugated cardboard LP mailing box with the LP outside the sleeve and extra
sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable.
My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.price rating
