For many, the pinnacle and crowning achievement of The Kinks career.
Actually for me, a dedicated KINKS fan from the beginning, it is a close 2nd, after the incomparable "SOMETHING ELSE BY THE KINKS" from 1967.
I also have an UNPLAYED vintage copy of that one up now as well.

BOTH are utterly essential to any respectable KINKS Collection.

Original Warner/Reprise "W7" company inner sleeve included - unsplit NM condition.
Disc inside separate anti-static sleeve to protect both the Vinyl and the original Inner.

___________________________________________________

Beginning to unfold an utterly vast melded record collection, ferreting out the duplicates and passing them on.
My life-long best friend, who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s -  has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine. Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets, plus posters and other memorabilia - most of which will all become available as I move through the collection.
.
Always collecting everything he could - with strong tastes in rare Psych, worldwide Prog, Electronic, Space Rock, Classic '60s Rock, innovative Hard Rock, UK Blues Rock, Glam, Odd sounds, all things Tolkien and Disney, Hawaiian Slack Key and more - and of course, both our faves: THE KINKS and SMALL FACES.
.
We had very similar tastes - so numerous prime duplicates will be listed. Many PROMOS, IMPORTS and 1st PRESSINGS will be included - indeed some still sealed.
.
after thousands of miles, many days spent gathering it all and several thousand dollars spent flying out to California and trucking it all back to my new home, the tip of the iceberg now emerges
a few choice pieces off the top, listed at set price to recoup some expenses now.
I'm not yet near ready for the full-scale auctions that are planned to begin soon
.
Following soon, I will begin listing the LP's first, mostly at auction, with low opening bids - starting with the Prog, Electronic and Space Rock, then the Psych and on from there. You WON'T want to miss those!! (it may take me several weeks (months?) to list them all... still only part-way through all the LP boxes - checking Pressing, Edition and condition (most so far are VG++ to NM). It's all coming soon... .
.
Following the LP's will be either the CDs or the 45's next - and then ultimately the posters and other paper.
Truly a great (and enormous) collection!
.
...so many boxes, the process continues. It may be a while until I can organize
my 1st auction series of at least 100 LP auctions at one time,
but mark/save this listing/eBay ID and check back.

Diligent collectors WILL be rewarded!
