BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS NOT FOR THE PERFECTIONIST, ALTHOUGH IT DOES PLAY VERY WELL WITH NO NASTY ISSUES. THERE ARE A QUITE A LOT OF COSMETICS, AND TWO SMALL SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARKS. TO BE HONEST IT PLAYS WELL AND IS VERY ENJOYABLE, AND WOORTH READING THE DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU !!!! 
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE 60's BANDS, AND OF COURSE IT'S THE KINKS, WHO WERE FORMED IN MUSWELL HILL IN NORTH LONDON IN 1964, BY BROTHERS RAY AND DAVID DAVIES, AND THIS IS THEIR VERY 1ST AND DEBUT ALBUM RELEASED IN OCTOBER 1964, AND CLASSIC BRITISH RHYTHM AND BLUES, AND PLAYS VERY WELL, AND COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  NN 1096 'A1T'  CORRECTED TO A2T  ::  NN 1096  'B1T'  CORRECTED TO B2T .

 ON THE PINK PYE LABEL :: NPL.18096 .
'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964' LABEL TEXT .
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS, FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, WITH 'KINKS  THE KINKS' ON THE SPINE, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd , PATENTS PENDING, AND IN VERY NICE SOLID CONDITION. LOVELY LAMINATE WITH JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND TWO LONGER ONES IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. VERY NICE SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SPOTS OF LIGHT RUB. THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING WITH ALL FLIPBACKS SECURE, WITH SOME HANDLING MARKS AND AGE RELATED MARKS, THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A 57 YEAR OLD COVER, AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTO NOT THAT BAD REALLY. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE THIS SOLID ORIGINAL  :: VG+ .  
VINYL :: ALTHOUGH THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETICS THE VINYL PLAYS WELL AND SIDE 2 HAS LESS COSMETICS, AND TO GIVE YOU THE BEST AND TRUE AUDIO GRADE I WILL GIVE YOU A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION >>>> SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A FAINT TICK AND A BIT OF LIGHT STATIC ON THE RUN . BIT OF LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TOMENTION . BIT OF LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . BIT OF LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 4 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE AND ANOTHER LIGHT TICK A BIT FURTHER ON . BIT OF LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . BIT OF LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . BIT OF LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 7 :: THERE ARE THREE LIGHT POPS AND THREE LIGHT TICKS AT THE END .
SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . BIT OF LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS . TRACK 2 :: THERE IS A LIGHT TICK AT THE START AND A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC ON THE QUIET INTRO . TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . TRACK 7 :: HAS A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE AND A LIGHT TICK A LITTLE FURTHER ON.
AS YOU CAN SEE THE VINYL PLAYS REALLY WELL, WITH SOME LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS MORE SO ON SIDE 1 RATHER THAN SIDE 2. THERE IS NO CONSTANT STATIC OR CRACKLE ON THE AUDIO SO A VERY ENJOYABLE VINYL TO LISTEN TO. AS MENTIONED THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETICS, SO COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME VARIOUS LENGTH COSMETIC HAIRLINES AND A FEW OTHER COSMETIC MARKS, SO NOT THE BEST LOOKING VINYL UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. ON THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 1, THERE IS A SLIGHTLY FEELABLE SMALL HAIRLINE, WHICH HAS NO AFFECT ON THE AUDIO, AND A TINY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK AT THE END WHERE YOU CAN HEAR THREE LIGHT POPS, AND THREE LIGHT TICKS, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND REALLY THIS IS THE ONLY THING OF NOTE ON THE AUDIO. SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE OF THE AUDIO GRADE I WILL GRADE THE AUDIO   :: VG/VG+ .
LABELS ::   NICE AND CLEAN WITH SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: VG+/EX- .

POLYLINED INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, 'PATENTS PENDING', WITH SOME AGEING AND LIGHT CORNER CREASING  :: VG .  THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE .

SO AS YOU HAVE JUST READ, A VERY NICE PLAYING VINYL, NOT FOR THE PERFECTIONIAST, BUT STILL A GREAT LISTEN. VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT NOT THE BEST BUT IT REALLY DOES PLAY LOVELY, AND AS DESCRIBED, AND IF YOU READ THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION AGAIN, YOU WILL SEE THERE IS NOT MUCH GOING ON !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.
