Description
DESCRIPTION
ARTIST: THE KINKS
TITLE: “SOMETHING ELSE”
PRESSING: 1968 Original “FIRST” Pressing STERO LP
CATALOG #: REPRISE RS-6279
LABELS: Super clean Tri-color “Pink, Gold, and Green” labels with large “Steamboat” in the upper left corner with “REPRISE” in white along the right side of the label.
CONDITION ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)
COVER: Very Strong VG+
Comments: Extremely clean textured “pastedown” cover displays sharp, vivid colors with No marks or writing, No creases, No seam splits, and No cut out marks, discount holes or bar codes. Light ring wear, along with light corner/edge wear (see photographs) are the only flaws, and mentioned for accuracy. Overall, this is a relatively clean cover for this particular release.
VINYL: Strong NrMT-
Comments: Extremely clean, full original gloss “Rigid” vinyl with only a few insignificant faint hairlines (No scratches) seen under bright light from sliding in and out of the original inner sleeve. There is one very tiny needle trail on Side 1 that absolutely does Not affect play. The vinyl has been play tested and plays beautifully throughout the entire recording!
INNER SLEEVE: Original and correct late-sixties REPRISE paper inner sleeve advertising other artists and selections from their catalog, which was used during the time period of the release of this classic album. The inner sleeve is in beautiful NrMT condition with absolutely No seam splits, which is amazing for a nearly 50 year-old paper sleeve to this classic album.
Comments: Extremely SCARCE LP to locate with the “Tri-color Steamboat” First Pressing labels. LP features many classic Kinks songs including “David Watts”, “No Return”, “Death of a Clown”, and “Afternoon Tea”!!
I have listed additional pristine First pressing Kinks albums from the “sixties” this week, so please check out my other auctions!
