KINKS - SOMETHING ELSE BY THE KINKS 1967 USA REPRISE LP R 6279 WHITE LABEL PROMO ONLY . VG- CONDITION.
CERTAINLY A CANDIDATE FOR THE RAREST USA KINKS RELEASE, THIS WAS THE FINAL ALBUM TO BE RELEASED STATESIDE IN A MONAURAL VERSION, AND IN THIS INSTANCE, ONLY AS A RADIO / REVIEW PROMOTIONAL COPY. WHEREAS OTHER LATE 60'S LP'S BY OTHER GROUPS CAN BE FOUND IN THEIR MONAURAL INCARNATIONS, THIS FINAL MONO USA PRESSED KINKS LP IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. THE CONDITION OF THIS COPY REFLECTS THE FACT THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY PLAYED ON THE RADIO, AS INTENDED. THE VINYL DEFINITELY CRACKLES IN SPOTS, AND THE SLEEVE SHOWS EVIDENCE OF HAVING BEEN HANDLED A BIT. THE PROMOSTICKER ON THE FRONT COVER IS PARTIALLY PEELED OF, AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE PICTURES.THERE IS A BIT OF TAPE ALONG THE BOTTOM AND SPINE EDGES OF THE SLEEVE, BUT IT IS CLEAN AND UNTORN. IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A GOOD TAPING JOB ON A RECORD, (which of course there isn't) THIS WOULD BE IT. BUT NOW ON TO THE GOOD NEWS! THE LABEL ON SIDE ONE IS NICE & CLEAN, UNMARKED & UNWRITTEN UPON. SIDE TWO LABEL HAS A BIT OF STAINING, SEE THE ACCOMPANYING PICTURE FOR EVIDENCE OF THIS.THESE ARE VERY INTERESTING LABELS, UNIQUE IN THAT THE PUBLISHING CREDITS ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN A SEPARATE SECTION OF THE LABEL. THE VINYL LOOKS GREAT, ASIDE FROM A FEW SURFACE SCUFFS. THERE IS LOTS OF GLOSS & SHINE, IT DEFINITELY LOOKS TO BE IN THE VG/VG+ RANGE VISUALLY. BUT, AS NOTED, IT DOES PLAY WITH A BIT OF CRACKLE. NOT SKIPS, JUST A BIT OF BACKGROUND NOISE IN PLACES. IT LOOKS BETTER THAN IT PLAYS , THIS IF FOR CERTAIN. IT IS THE BEST CONDITION COPY OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE OF SOMETHING ELSE THAT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED, & I'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE OPEN FOR OVER 35 YEARS. THIS RECORD SIMPLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE , & ON THE RARE INSTANCES WHERE IT MAY BE OFFERED, CONDITION IS ALWAYS THE STUMBLING BLOCK. THIS IS A REASONABLE CONDITION COPY, FOR ANY KINKS COLLECTOR LOOKING TO FILL A HOLE IN THE COLLECTION DURING THE LONG INTERVALS BETWEEN THIS BEING OFFERED FOR SALE, THIS COPY SHOULD SERVE WELL. SEEING AS THIS IS CERTAINLY ON OF THE HALF DOZEN RAREST KINKS LP'S EVER PRODUCED, MUCH SCARCER THAN ANY OF THE FRENCH, GERMAN, SCANDINAVIAN OR UK RELEASES, THIS OFFERING CAN BE VIEWED AS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD AN EXTREMELY RARE ISSUE OF AN ALBUM THAT IS A CANDIDATE FOR THE BANDS FINEST. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE ON A RARITY LEVEL WITH SCARCEST WORLDWIDE KINKS LP'S , SUCH AS THE GREEK "FACE TO FACE", THE ITALIAN & NEW ZEALAND "VGPS", CERTAIN ORIGINAL JAPANESE & MEXICAN ISSUES AND PERHAPS THE DUTCH BOOK CLUB EDITION OF "ARTHUR". The disc will be extremely well packaged for shipping. If sent overseas, outside of the USA, it must be sent by international express mail service, which offers tracking & delivery signature confirmation. This is neccesary to conform to ebay's & paypal's requirements for confirmation of delivery. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK. Shipping rates & information can be found at this address WWW.USPS.COM.
