Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Kinks called "The Kinks" and is an ORIGINAL 1964 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Pye label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE KINKS ALL TIME RAREST LPS EVER (LIKE THIS!) - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1964 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (IN STEREO!), AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE STEREO!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  BACK IN 1964 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - MONOS ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED THE UK RECORD MARKET AND STEREOS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS!!!!  IN FACT, DEMAND FOR STEREOs WAS SO VERY TINY - THAT MOST SHOPS ONLY MADE THEM AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER ONLY' AND NEVER KEPT THEM IN STOCK AT ALL!!!!  AS A RESULT, FINDING AN ULTRA RARE UK 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IN MEGA RARE STEREO - IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!!

THE MYTH ABOUT 'SO-CALLED' EXPORTS!!!!

Contrary to popular belief - this LP was never EVER made for Export!!!!  For some obscure reason that I simply can't understand - the UK's main Record Guide states this LP was ONLY ever made in STEREO for Export Only!!!!  To be fair - I simply followed the line (like many other people), and assumed that must be the case....  wrongly.  Then one day I noticed on the reverse of The Kinks 'Kinksize Session' EP, that this LP was advertised there!!!!  And it is advertised for sale in MONO and indeed STEREO!!!!  This made me curious and I checked out a few music adverts from the time, which also promote this LP in Mono AND Stereo (from various dates)!!!!  So clearly there was NEVER an 'Export' release for this LP AT ALL - as it was 100% definitely sold in STEREO in the UK!!!!  Possibly this Export myth stemmed from the 3rd Kinks LP 'Kink Kontroversy' - which is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find in Stereo.  However, again this myth would be easy to dispel by looking at copies of music magazines from the period.  And if that LP was advertised in Stereo - then that wasnt made for Export either.  Of course, the biggest joke is 'Face To Face', which everyone knows WAS sold in the UK in Stereo from 'day 1' - and yet that too is listed as 'Export Only' in Stereo - when it was blatantly NOT the case.  All other labels - Columbia, Parlophone, and Decca for example, ALWAYS had completely DIFFERENT Catalogue numbers (such as the CPCS series for Parlophone Beatles LPs) - so it baffles me why this LP is still listed as an Export issue....  when it obviously isnt!!!!  Of course, this wont be any news to true Kinks collectors, as they will have already worked this out for themselves - but others who dont know should be informed.  So to be clear - this LP was NEVER made for Export, and was fully available and sold in the UK in STEREO from 'day 1'!!!!  Of course - this LP is still very VERY rare indeed, as almost NO ONE bought Stereo copies in 1964 - with AT LEAST 95% being sold in common Mono!!!!  So YES this LP is still very VERY rare indeed!!!!  But is definitely NOT and never has been made for Export!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND IS A VERY VERY DECENT EXAMPLE INDEED!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS PYE LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' 'STICKERED' STEREO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Pye UK 1st Pressing from 1964 and is in GREAT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is NSPL 83021 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Pye label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK STEREO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only a few TINY hairlines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light scufflines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent record indeed!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!   The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' STEREO 'Stickered' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, only VERY slight rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The 'NSPL 83021 STEREO' Sticker on the reverse of the cover AND the 'STEREO' Sticker on the front of the cover - are both in SUPERB condition, and have clearly NEVER been 'picked at' since they were put on the cover at the factory back in 1964!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE STEREO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

 HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!  It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!  THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1964 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF "THE KINKS'" BY THE KINKS, IN GREAT CONDITION!!!!  Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs and contact me with any queries you may have.  Postal discounts for multiple buys are always available - and I guarantee to ALWAYS undercharge on postage!  Paypal, Bank Transfers, Cheques, International Money Orders, and Postal Orders accepted.
