Description
Another from my collection and another in stunning condition. THE KINKS ARTHUR OR THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE stereo 1st pressing on PYE records. Amazing playback on this baby, especially for its age.
CAT. NO : NSPL 18317 MATRIX : A-1 *T / B-1 *T
VINYL : RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS DISC HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER AND PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY MAJOR ISSUE. THE STEREO 1st PRESSING REPRODUCTION SHINES THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR. THE TRACK 'YOUNG AND INNOCENT DAYS' DOES HAVE A CLICK TOWARDS THE END OF THE SONG AND INTO THE START OF 'NOTHING TO SAY'. AT THE BEGINNING OF 'SHANGRI-LA' THERE IS SOME LIGHT CRACKLE TOO WHICH ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT MAY DOWNGRADE ITS NEAR MINT GRADING BUT I THINK OVER ALL, THIS RECORD IS BETWEEN EXCELLENT + AND NEAR MINT.
LABELS : BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN WITH NO MARKS OR WRITING. THEY DO HOWEVER DISPLAY SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES. EXCELLENT+.
SLEEVE : GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS CLEAN WITH NO MARKS OR WRITING. TINY AMOUNT OF CREASING AND THE BEGINNINGS OF LAMINATE LIFTING ON THE FRONT, TOP LEFT. SOME WEAR TO TOP EDGE AND WEAR TO TOP AND BOTTOM OF SPINE. TOP EDGE OF SPINE HAS 10mm SPLIT. INSIDE GATEFOLD IS UN-MARKED AND CLEAN. VG+
INNER SLEEVE : ORIGINAL INNER IS CLEAN AND UN-SPLIT. IT HAS A RECORD SHOP STAMP ON BOTH SIDES AND SOME CREASING. VG+
INSERT : THICK CARD INSEERT IS CLEAN, UN-MARKED AND UN-SPLIT. THE 'PULL' TAB IS CREASED BUT STILL INTACT. EXCELLENT+
FOR A RECORD OF IT'S AGE, THIS A SUPERB EXAMPLE AND THE STEREO PLAYBACK IS LOUD AND FULL. I'LL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO. IF THE WINNING BIDDER IS IN ANY WAY NOT 100% SATISFIED THEN I OFFER A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
