"THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY"

(1968 PYE RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST STEREO PRESSING!)

THIS IS A RARE UK STEREO FIRST PRESSING OF THIS WONDROUS ALBUM BY THE KINKS  ON THE PYE LABEL.  THIS ALBUM SOLD VERY POORLY ON RELEASE AND THIS IS A HARD RECORD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. THIS COPY IS STUNNING AND YOU WILL BE HARD PUSHED TO FIND A BETTER COPY.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS PYE NSPL 18233

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: NSPL 18233A-3 * T / NSPL 18233B-4 * T 

THE STUNNING LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THE STEREO STICKER THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE MONO CATALOGUE NUMBER IS MISSING BUT THERE IS STILL SOME RESIDUE OF THE ADHESIVE. OTHERWISE THERE IS JUST SOME SLIGHT BRUISING TO THE CORNERS OF THE SOINE AND A TINY SCUFF TO THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE LAMIANTION IS JUST BEGINNING TO BUBBLE VERY SLIGHTLY. THE WIDE SPINE IS 100% INTACT & FULLY READABLE. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE TWO FLIPBACKS AND THE FANTASTIC PSYCHEDELIC PORTRAIT OF THE KINKS IS PERFECT. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN MINT CONDITION. I HARDLY EVER DESCRIBE USED VINYL AS BEING MINT BUT IN THIS CASE IT IS FULLY JUSTIFIED. THERE ARE NOT EVEN ANY HAIRLINE MARKS. THIS RECORD IS IN UNBELIEVABLE CONDITION AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS STUNNING. 

THE LABELS

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC
