Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

USA - steamboat Reprise Records - RS-6197 ((stereo))
54 years ago "TOP COPY"
FINAL COLLECTION COPY
MINTY CLEAN ~ JUST NOW REMOVED THE ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE
ORIGINAL 1965 first pressing stunning *true* stereo containing speaker separation ....pressed on Reprise steamboat label, and of one of the best early KINKS albums that delivers on the whole with their British Invasion garage rockin' sound laced with memorable pop sensibilities that would later flourish ...
******************************************************************************************
The Kinks are peaking in their British Invasion R&B laced rave-ups and produce their first really good album, packed with hard-edged pop rock grooves that dispenses with most of the awkward R & B elements of their prior albums and embraces melody, harmony, and some interesting arrangements; the exception being "Milk Cow Blues," a garage-burner whose energy rescues it from the formulaic sound of some of those earlier excursions. Here's where the whole Kinks thing really takes off...
