On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Kinks called "Face To Face" and is an ORIGINAL 1966 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Pye label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE KINKS RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1966 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE, AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE STEREO!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK BACK IN 1966, NEARLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING WAS MADE IN COMMON MONO - WITH VIRTUALLY NONE IN MEGA RARE STEREO AT ALL!!!!  AND DEMAND FOR STEREOs WAS SO ABSOLUTELY TINY, THAT MOST SHOPS DIDNT EVEN STOCK STEREOs AS STANDARD - AND THEY WERE ONLY AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY!!!!  AS A RESULT, FINDING A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP IN MEGA RARE STEREO IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!! 

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL, IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LABELS!!!!  AND THIS MAKES THIS LP VERY VERY SPECIAL INDEED!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN STEREO BACK IN 1966 - THE LABELS HAD 'STEREO' IN TINY TEXT SET TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF EACH LABEL - EXACTLY LIKE ALL OF THE KINKS PREVIOUS STEREO RELEASES!!!!  HOWEVER, AFTER ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES HAD BEEN MADE - THE DECISION WAS TAKEN TO IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THIS 'SMALL STEREO' TEXT, AND THE WORD 'STEREO' WAS THEN MOVED TO THE CENTRE OF EACH LABEL IN MUCH LARGER TEXT (EXACTLY LIKE ALL LATER KINKS LPs THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE 1960s!)!!!!  AND THIS MEANS THAT FINDING A 100% GENIUNE 'DAY OF RELEASE' 1966 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING (WITH 'SMALL' STEREO TEXT SET TO THE RIGHT OF EACH LABEL!) IS VERY VERY HARD INDEED, AS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVEN MADE!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET - AND IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER!) BEFORE YOU SEE ANOTHER ONE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION OVERALL (WITH A SUPERB COVER!) - AND CLEARLY HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1966 UK STEREO 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS PYE LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SMALL STEREO' LABEL TEXT (JUSTIFIED TO THE RIGHT!), 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS A-1/B-1 STEREO MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Pye UK 1st Pressing from 1966 and is in BRILLIANT condition overall (see below)!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is NSPL 18149 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Pye label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK STEREO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition overall!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 hairlines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  However on the track 'House In The Country' one of the surface marks is more prominent.  Although it is absolutely TINY - it causes a few pops when played.  I played this track on BOTH my systems, and both played through fine, with just pops.  However, there is no way I can guarantee every system in the world - so please bear this in mind.  However this is an absolutely TINY part of this LP - and the rest of the LP plays absolutely BRILLIANTLY!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though most of the record looks way WAY better than this (more like MINT(Minus)!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' Cover (with 'Stereo' sticker on the cover front!) is in SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear, NO splits, only a VERY few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, NO laminate lifting, NO laminate loss, NO rips, NO tears, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, only 1 TINY 'age spot', NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO yellowing, SUPERB flipbacks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE STEREO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
