THE KINKS - MUSWELL HILLBILLES b/w HAVE A CUPPA TEA 1972 ANGOLA RCA  30 053 MONO 45. 

ULTRA RARE  1972 MONO 45 WITH UNIQUE  ANGOLAN ONLY PICTURE SLEEVE .

THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB MINT -  CONDITION.  VERY CLOSE TO PERFECT & WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE FLAWS ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE, WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF A TINY MARK ON DAVE DAVIES TROUSER LEG.  THEN AGAIN, THIS MIGHT BE A FACTORY PRINTING ERROR?   THE REAR OF THE PS REVEALS EVIDENCE OF A NAME HAVING BEEN ERASED, SEE THE PHOTO FOR EVIDENCE OF THIS. THE CORNERS OF THE SLEEVE ARE SQUARE, THE SEAMS ARE PERFECT.  THE VINYL GRADES VISUALLY AT MINIMALLY  VG+,  POTENTIALLY  BETTER.  SEE THE BELOW DESCRIPTION FOR MORE PRECISE DETAILS.

THIS 1972 RELEASE IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE  RAREST & MORE OBSCURE WORLDWIDE RELEASES  BY A MAJOR BRITISH SIXTIES BAND, WITH THE MARVELOUS, & ENTIRELY UNIQUE SLEEVE DESIGN BEING A KEY ASPECT OF IT'S APPEAL.   THE ABSOLUTE SCARCITY OF THIS ISSUE, WHICH WAS THE SECOND &  LAST 45 TO BE RELEASED IN ANGOLA, PAIRED WITH THE ESSENTIALLY  PERFECT,  AS NEW CONDITION OF THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE, MAKES THIS A RARITY AMONGST RARITIES.

THE VINYL IS IN  BRIGHT GLOSSY CONDITION, VIEWED IN DAYLIGHT OR INDIRECT HOUSEHOLD LIGHT IT APPEARS  AS VG+ OR BETTER.  NO SCRATCHES OR MARKS ARE EVIDENT.  IT IS ONLY WHEN VIEWED DIRECTLY UNDER A HIGH INTENSITY HALOGEN OR 150 WATT BULB THAT LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES CAN BE SEEN.  THESE ARE ONLY EVIDENT WHEN THE DISC IS VIEWED DIRECTLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. IT PLAYS WITH A MINIMUM OF SURFACE NOISE, LIGHT CRACKLING CAN BE HEARD IN THE RUN IN GROOVE, ONCE THE MUSIC KICKS IN THIS IS EFFECTIVELY INAUDIBLE.  THERE IS A SKIP AT THE VERY END OF SIDE 1 OF THE DISC, THAT DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THE RECORD WAS PLAYED AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER TRACKING FORCE, APPROX. 2.5 GRAMS. 

 THE  LABEL IS CLEAN & UNMARKED, SEE THE SCANS FOR EVIDENCE OF THIS.

 MOST LIKELY THIS 45 WAS ONLY EVER PRODUCED IN A RUN OF FEWER THAN SEVERAL HUNDRED COPIES, FEW OF WHICH EVIDENTLY SOLD, AND THIS RELEASE DID NOT CHART OR SELL IN ANY NUMBERS AT ALL.   THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE SCARCEST KINKS PICTURE SLEEVE 45 IN THE WORLD, ALONG WITH THE ARGENTINIAN "ALL DAY & ALL OF THE NIGHT" , THE US "YOU REALLY GOT ME" ONE SIDED WLP WITH PROMOTIONAL INSERT & THE ALTERNATE (WITHDRAWN) SWEDISH "TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOU" EP SLEEVE.


I guarantee this record to be 100% as described.  Any further questions, just ask, I will be happy to answer any & all.
