PYE RECORDS, CAT NO: NPL 18131, MATRICES A1/B1
THIS IS A VERY GOOD+ FIRST PRESSING MONO COPY OF THE KINKS' 1965 ALBUM "KINKS KONTROVERSY" ON THE CRIMSON PYE LABEL. IT IS A RARE FIRST PRESS ORIGINAL ALBUM, HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FLIPBACK SLEEVE WHICH IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. TRACKS INCLUDE "TILL THE END OF THE DAY" ONE OF THEIR MANY TOP TEN HITS OF THE SIXTIES.
AMONGST THE SUPPORTING MUSICIANS IS AN UNCREDITED NICKY HOPKINS WHO CONTRIBUTES SOME EXCELLENT TRADE-MARK BOOGIE-WOOGIE PIANO TO A COUPLE OF TRACKS.
VINYL: VERY GOOD+ VERY HEAVY ORIGINAL THICK VINYL WHICH IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR POPS. THERE ARE ONE OR TWO LIGHT MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT, ONE OF WHICH CAUSES A LIGHT CLICK FOR THREE OR FOUR REVOLUTIONS AT THE START OF SIDE ONE, TRACK FIVE - BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE CLICKS ARE ON THE TRACK RUN-IN, NOT THE TRACK ITSELF. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND NOISE, EVEN ON RUN-INS, AND NO OTHER AUDIO FAULTS OF ANY KIND - OVERALL, APART FROM THE FAULT MENTIONED ABOVE, THE AUDIO IS EXCELLENT.
LABELS: VERY GOOD+ PYE CRIMSON LABELS STILL BRIGHT AND CLEAN, BUT WITH INITIALS WRITTEN IN INK ON SIDE TWO.
OUTER SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+ ORIGINAL FLIPBACK, FRONT-LAMINATED SLEEVE IS COMPLETELY INTACT WITH NO SEAM SPLITS, WRITING OR CREASING. IT HAS A RIGID AND FULLY READABLE SPINE WITH JUST MINOR GRUBBINESS TO THE UNLAMINATED WHITE BACK COVER.
INNER SLEEVE: PLAIN WHITE POLY-LINED PAPER (NEW).
REALLY GOOD ORIGINAL VINYL, VERY RARE IN THIS CONDITION.
