ROLLING STONES - Ultra-Rare UK Export Beggar's Banquet

	£		59
	$		78

LP: BEGGAR'S BANQUET

Artist: ROLLING STONES

Label/Release Number: LONDON PS 539

Country of origin: UK, 1968

Picture sleeve/Art sleeve: GATEFOLD SLEEVE

Condition Disc: VG+ (some superficial marks, but plays very fine!)

Condition Sleeve: VG+++ (looks very nice, some usual wear, but no seam splits, writing or major defects).

Other comments: Totally rare and obscure UK pressing, manufactured in 1968 for EXPORT to Japan. Disc and sleeve have the Japanese catalogue number printed on. The LP comes with its original Lyric Sheet, which contains the lyrics to 5 of the songs on the LP plus an explanation (written in Japanese) that the lyrics to the other 5 could either not be correctly printed or have been omitted due to their explicit nature....(!). The disc has unique labels, never seen since or before on UK Stones pressings. A superb copy of what must be one of the rarest Stones export albums in existence, rarely, if at all, offered on eBay.

Pictured on the scan, from the top, are details of the back sleeve (with its Japanese release #), the A-side label, and detail of the lyric sheet.

After the auction has ended the winner will receive an e-mail with instructions on payment etc. Please confirm reception of this email within 72 hours. Payment should take no longer than two weeks after auction’s end to reach me. I ship twice a week. Records are taken out of their sleeves before they are packed, and I use 7mm. thick cardboard to pack records. The first broken or damaged record has yet to be reported. Magazines are shipped in cardboard, too, and unfolded unless A3-size or bigger. I put moderate values on the customs slip ($10/£5 max, usually), so you don't have to pay import taxes.

I do NOT accept any responsibility for parcels that are lost in the mail.

My grading for records is as used by UK and continental sellers, i.e.: 

• Mint (=New, Unplayed)

• Near Mint (=As good as new)

• Excellent (=Beautiful with only very minor flaws)

• Very Good (=Nice copy with some defects as mentioned in the item's description)

• Good (=Gap-filler for your collection, but not totally worn)

• Poor (=Unplayable due to major defects)

             (+ and - are used to refine these gradings).

With nearly 2,000 successful auctions to my name I am proud to say that I have never received a complaint about my gradings, so BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
