THE KINKS ARE THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY
ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS MONO, AND PLAYS FANTASTIC !!!!
THIS IS OF COURSE THE KINKS, WHO DO NOT NEED ANY INTRODUCTIONS, ONLY TO SAY THEY WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1963 !!!! NOW THERE IS UNCERTAINTY WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ALBUM. FIRSTLY IT WAS RELEASED ON 27th NOVEMBER, 1968, AND IS THEIR 6th ALBUM. AS IT IS RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT IS THEIR FIRST ALBUM, BUT IN FACT AS MENTIONED IT IS THEIR 6th. AFTER THE HYPE OF THEIR FIRST FOUR ALBUMS THEIR 5th ALBUM, "SOMETHING ELSE BY THE KINKS", DID NOT LIVE UP TO THE FIRST FOUR ALBUMS, SO DID NOT SELL VERY WELL, SO WHEN THIS ALBUM CAME OUT, IT SOLD EVEN LESS, SO THAT IS WHY IT IS RARER AND MORE COLLECTABLE ! THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL TREASURED VINYL COLLECTION, AND THE AUDIO WILL CERTAINLY NOT DISAPPOINT !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!!!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS :: NPL 182333 A- (13<>W, CROSSED OUT) 3<>W 'KT' :: NPL 18233 B-3<>W 'KT' .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS :: 1 H :: 1 M .
ON THE LIGHT BLUE AND BLACK 1ST PRESS PYE :: NPL 18223 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, WITH INTERNAL OPENING EDGE WHICH IS STILL SHARP, AND TWO INTERNAL FLIPBACKS. VERY NICE SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH A RUB ON THE CORNERS. THE SPINE HAS CLEAR CELLO TAPE THE FULL LENGTH, AND HONESTLY YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW, AS IT VERY HARD TO SEE, AND BLENDS WONDERFULLY INTO THE LAMINATE, JUST A TINY BIT SHOWING ON THE CORNERS. THERE IS A BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE, AND SOME LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE IS A BIT OF WRITING AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO, AND A SMALL SPLIT ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE INNER SPINE, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE :: VG+ .
VINYL :: PLAYS AMAZING, WITH NO STICKS, JUMPS, SKIPS, POPS, CLICKS STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND ALL I HEARD WAS.... ON SIDE 1 :: JUST FOUR FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 5, AND ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACK 6 AND TRACK 7 .
ON SIDE 2 :: JUST TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 6 AND TRACK 7, AND A SINGLE FAINT TICK AFTER THE START OF TRACK 7, AND THAT'S ALL, SO SUPERB MONO AUDIO !!!!
VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, ALWAYS A VERY GOOD SIGN, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETIC SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND QUITE A FEW COSMETIC HARMLESS SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED HAIRLINES, AND A TINY THIN EVER SO SLIGHTLY FEELABLE SCUFF LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 5 ON SIDE 1, WHERE THOSE FOUR FAINT TICKS CAN BE HEARD. SO BRILLIANT AUDIO, AND THE COSMETICS JUST HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, SO FOR THAT IMPORTANT AUDIO GRADE, AND I WOULD GRADE A VERY, VERY STRONG :: EX/EX+ . BUT NEARER TO EX+, RATHER THAN TO EX !!!!
LABELS :: LOVELY AND CLEAN, JUST SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES :: EX .
ORIGINAL INNER :: WITH NO SPLITS, JUST A BIT OF WRITING IN TWO TOP CORNERS, AND SOME AGE RELATED MARKS AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL DESCRIBED ABOVE :: VG .
