Description

I always thought The Kinks were ahead of their time.  Their sound was a little harder and the message a little edgier than most of the other British invasion era bands of the mid-60’s.  The ongoing popularity of much of their music, such as the hit singles “Sunny Afternoon” and “Dandy” found on this album, seems to support my feeling.  I continue to enjoy and appreciate all the albums they have produced over the years.  This was the group’s fourth album and their first to consist totally of compositions written by Ray Davies.  This album is also noteworthy as the very first concept rock album, with its overriding theme of social awareness.  This is a seminal piece of rock history.  This album was released on Reprise in 1966, number R 6228.  This is the original mono release of the album.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a few light surface scratches that do not significantly impact play.  It plays with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows some light ring wear and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, tight, sharp, and intact.  The original Reprise inner sleeve is included.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay.  I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I will do both a visual check and an audio check.  I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.  I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.   My promise is that I will never put up for auction any album that I would not be proud to play for others on my own turntable. 

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S.  In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost.  In fact, I welcome it!  Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. 

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $22 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred. 

Thank you   for looking and please contact me with any questions.
