MONO NPL 18233
Released in 1968 THE very first UK pressing!! 15 TRACK version.
IMPOSSIBLE ULTRA RARE MATRIX ERRORS! Just a handful released in this way.
MEGA RARE ! Thickly pressed vinyl with a mirror like sheen!!! Superb aural delivery ! Rare matrix error on run off ! NOT to be missed !!!
Original 1st issue ,opening, laminated front/rear gatefold sleeve. Wear on spinal column and some moderate wear to one lateral edge. The top/lower extremities of the inner /outer spine have been worn down where vinyl is housed . Good + condition with a glossy lamination . Laminate remains tight with a lovely sheen and feel. Centrefold excellent, apart from lower edge suffering a minor colour loss , with internal flip backs undamaged. A very delicate sleeve and considering this gatefold is 43 years old , a lovely example of this hard to find masterpiece . Certainly better than many and still displays title admirably well.
Rare BLUE PYE label format,1st issue MONO variant !
Several spindle lines are visible but no mottling, no graffiti, no peeling, nor lifting of any kind. Wonderful examples of a very scarce, first issue ,MONO press.
Vinyl
Errors in run offs! A-1 3<>W DELETED
Corrected with A- 3<>W inscribed
The other matrix reads B-3<>W and these are the earliest possible matrices for this release!IMPOSSIBLE to locate with these very scarce errors!
Additional stampers H and M respectively !One of the earliest UK pressings to roll off the factory press!
Didn’t quite get this one right , did they ?
Thickly pressed and an excellent sheen. Heavyweight giant and gives a buzz when held! Not heavily played !!!A few light surface marks visible . These surface marks disappear beneath a staggering sheen. Ex visual and is the best I have viewed for a very long time .
Audio
Very scarce monotone recording, almost impossible to locate nowadays . Limited number produced, as stereo recordings initiated at the time of release, so monos were being phased out hence, its very high value. At least a very good/ excellent audio and considerably better in some parts! Distant static detected between tracks and during playback, very occasionally, but tones rise far above any surface disturbance and convey an incredible aural delivery! Dips 2-3 times to very good owing to a few faint ticks but does little to affect music presentation . There is still dust lifting from these wider grooves and one should expect further improvement with play over time/and more cleaning. Nothing major blips on sound at all . No skips, nor jumps in fact , a delightful audio !
A fantastic example of this MEGA rare first MONO pressing !!!Each guitar string and percussion beat are delivered with a razor sharp edge and a pinpoint precision. Absolutely superb!
A sensational album release . Impossible to find mono recording, valued very high Original PYE 1st Press ! Superb collector’s item!!
Highly valued in the collectors’ world and this album would stand proud in any serious collection ! Kinks at their very, very best! DO NOT MISS!!!
