Description
THE KINKS – ARTHUR (OR THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE) Original 1969 US First Pressing | Factory Sealed | New Old Stock
This is a rare opportunity to own a "Time Capsule" copy of The Kinks' 1969 masterpiece. This is not a modern reissue; it is a genuine, original Reprise Records (RS 6366) first pressing that has remained factory-sealed for over 50 years.
Widely considered one of the greatest concept albums of all time, "Arthur" features Ray Davies’ brilliant songwriting on classics like "Victoria" and "Shangri-La." Because this copy is still sealed, the original Queen Victoria die-cut lyric insert and the gatefold jacket are preserved in their original 1969 state.

-
Jacket: Beautiful "New Old Stock" condition. Sharp corners and vibrant colors. No signs of ring wear through the shrink. (Note: Please see photos for exact corner conditions).
