Description
Great copy of the first MONO pressing of the classic "Beggars Banquet" album, on an unboxed Decca label. Although clearly well used, tthe item is in generally great condition - please see high resolution pics.
The vinyl is in overall very good condition. Expertly cleaned and sound tested at high volume on a Linn Sondek LP12. There are multiple visible light scratches, scuffs and hairlines, some of which are audible in a few places most notably the scuff shown in Pic 10, which becomes audible at the very end of "Sympathy for the Devil" and can be heard through to the opening sequences of "No Expectations" There is also a very small but audible scratch at the very start of "Street Fighting Man". Also comes with the usual pops and clicks, and low level background noise (that can be heard during the run ins and in quiet sequences) associated with a disc of this age and this condition However, no skips or jumps. All that said, its still highly listenable and I'd rate it overall at VG Audio. Highly listenable. Loud and dynamic with no distortion.
The Original "Mono" Cover is in VG condition. Intact but with some creasing, staining and spine damage. i.e. normal wear but generally well looked after!
The original Decca Mono inner cover is excellent condition, with no splits, staining or significant creasing and - please see pics.
Packaging will consist mainly of re-cycled materials.
