Since eBay is now charging for shipping costs, I have decided to now offer free shipping within the US for all purchases made beginning on 4/24/11.  Please note that I still must charge for international shipping -- please see the note below. 

This item is a Japanese-import pressing – complete with OBI-strip and lyric sheet – of the classic Kink Kontroversy vinyl LP by the Kinks.  The Kinks are not my favorite band ever but, I can say that they are in the top two.  Were it not for the Beatles, my collection would primarily consist of Kinks records.  In any event, this classic album features twelve tracks and includes two of the greatest Ray Davies compositions – Till the End of the Day and Where Have All the Good Times Gone.  It is extraordinary to consider that by the time this album was released, Ray Davies – by then only 21 years old – had written a number of all-time rock and roll classics (not to mention that Dave was only 17…).  Also, there are some hysterical notes on the back cover about the vocal duties on each of the tracks, with the listing for I Am Free noting that “Dave moans on his own”).  A great album and a really nice addition to any Kinks kollection.

Both the vinyl and the cover are in solid, pristine near-mint condition, as shown in the photo.                

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE US:  Pursuant to Paypal Seller Protection Policy sections 11.3 and 11.4, EVERY item paid for by Paypal MUST be sent via PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL.  If you do not fully understand and agree, PLEASE DO NOT BID.  The fact that other sellers may send items by First Class International -- and put themselves at risk for claims -- is immaterial.  In addition, the USPS just increased their rates.  To Canada, the cost for 1 single LP is $22.75USD.  To Europe, the cost for 1 single LP is $30.75USD.  Other countries will be about the same as to Europe.  Combining multiple albums saves money, and I can send you the shipping costs upon request BEFORE YOU BID.  I recognize that this results in very high shipping costs, but it is of no benefit to me because the money is paid to the USPS for postage.  If you think this policy is unfair, contact Paypal -- I'm only following their rules.  If you have any questions about my shipping policy or costs, please send me an e-mail via My eBay.

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty-plus years.  I am selling my collection little by little to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time. 

NOTE:  Sealed items are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value. 

NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation,  ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75. 

International Buyers – Please Note:

·         Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·         These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·         We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

I will always combine items, so that shipping costs will be more manageable.  Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.  

Should you have any questions at all about postage, the payment method or for details about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me.
