 KINKS are THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY. Stereo. NSPL 18233 Pye blue label. Curiosity is that the cover is labelled MONO (and labelled NPL 18233) but the vinyl STEREO (and labelled NSPL 18233). This is how it was bought by myself.

COVER  - In very good condition for a record of this age. Gatefold. Front of cover has some laminate lift above creasing of cover but there is no damage to the picture itself. Some very minor scuffing of edges mainly to base of front card. Printing on spine is intact with only a small length of scuffing to upper edge of spine. Small tear to bottom of spine. Inside gatefold has no real damage, marks or stains, only small tear at base of spine which has already been mentioned. Back of vinyl envelope is likewise in very good condition with only minor creases and associated laminate lift with corners showing minor damage. There is no writing and there are no stains.

INNER SLEEVE  - Original. Some creasing with only stains being age related and there is one small mark (5mm by 22mm)

VINYL - Side 1. NSPL 18233 A-3 * T. One very light surface scratch which can only be seen with background light and certainly not felt with back of fingernail. One finger smudge to rim. Otherwise shiny, bright and clean
            - Side 2. NSPL 18233 B-4 * T No visible damage. Similarly shiny bright and clean

LABELS. - No writing or stains other than spindle traces.

COMMENTS - In really good condition with no serious damage. Often gatefolds of this design have much greater damage to front section of the cover due to the less robust nature of the material. Photographs are testament to the condition



I am in the process of selling off my personal collection of  vinyl from the very early 60’s through to the 80’s. I am not a dealer but other interests (AKA - funding old age) mean the collection must go (along with lots of other stuff). My records were important to me and they were well cared for, sympathetically stored and never taken to parties or loaned out.  If the record is not from my collection I will make reference to that in the comments section. Where applicable, RC criteria is used when a grading is given. I have tried to be conservative  (after taking professional advice) but totally honest. Most of the records have not been played for some time (I no longer have a player) so the description is limited to a visual examination, and the vinyl would probably benefit from being cleaned in a professional manner. Any ‘deposits’ other than dust will be mentioned. If you decide to purchase one of my collection I want you to be completely satisfied and hope it will continue to give maximum enjoyment.

I have put in as much detail as is possible regarding the condition of cover, inner sleeve, labels, vinyl and inserts (where applicable) and have not described them as something they are not. However a buyer can rest assured that the records have always been kept in a pet-free and smoke-free environment

The records will be sent out in record mailers with two stiffeners. Proof of postage will always be obtained, with a ‘recorded signed for’, if thought necessary,  for both of our protection.

If you are in any way dissatisfied with the transaction, I would ask that you, first of all, give me the opportunity to put it right and this would include a refund if I have, in any way, misrepresented the condition of your purchase. This would be dependent on the return of the item in the condition in which it was sent and you contact me within 48 hours of receipt of item. I can not envisage this happening as I have not hyped up the condition of my records as this is of no benefit to anyone.

Items need to be paid for within 7 days of bid being accepted. If this is a problem please contact me before you bid. I will make every effort to dispatch items within 3 working days of payment being cleared (Royal Mail first class). Overseas buyers by PAYPAL only. Items over £40 will be insured (Royal Mail Special Delivery or Airsure) and this will be added to P and P so please wait for invoice before sending payment.

Please be aware the record has been described using only a visual examination only. If there are any points which you deem to be important then please contact me before bidding. Better to find out first than be disappointed later!

Thank you for looking and if you have questions please contact me. Records will be added on a regular basis when time and commitments allow.

Overseas posting costs
Please be aware that expensive items will be posted with tracking and confirmation of delivery, so please bear this in mind when bidding. If you require an approximate cost to ship overseas then please ask and I will confirm.
