ORIGINAL MONO MIX 1964 1ST PRESSING OF THE KINKS DEBUT LP

AN R & B/BEAT STORMER!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE MONO COPY-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU! 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

FROM MY OWN COLLECTION!

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY AND INDEED  BEFORE ELSEWHERE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED 1960s MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.

AN ORIGINAL MONO 1ST EDITION FROM 1964 OF THE BAND'S 14 TRACK  1ST ALBUM ISSUED ON THE PYE LABEL .

NPL 18096-SUPER THICK VINYL! 

MATRIXES:

NN 1096-A2T NN 1096-B2T

This is a THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few months later-This ESSENTIAL LP pressed within the first few months of issue from 1964 when THE KINKS were just starting to have hits and a big part of the British beat music scene!

Raw vocal versions of R&B gems similar to the Rolling Stones such as:
"LONG TALL SHORTY"

"TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS"

"CADILLAC"

"I'M A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER"

etc etc

AS WELL AS SOME KINKS/RAY DAVIES SONGS(6 INFACT):

"YOU REALLY GOT ME"

"STOP YOUR SOBBING"

"SO MYSTIFYING"

"I TOOK MY BABY HOME"

"JUST CAN'T GO TO SLEEP"

and

"REVENGE" 

A PRESSING FROM 44 YEARS AGO!!! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS A VERY GOOD CONDITION DISC WITH SOME MORE MARKS THAT ARE MOSTLY VISUAL.

A FEW SHORT LIVED CLICKS + SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT IT PLAYS GREAT! 

Copies of this album were still being sold in huge quantities but how many were ruined at mod parties or used on terrible equipment??!!!!!!

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

THE SO CALLED STEREO EXPORT WAS INFACT"ELECTRONIC STEREO"ALTHOUGH THE ODD TRACK HAS TURNED UP IN GENUINE STEREO ON CD. 

The MONO mixes are far punchier but is rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE KINKS and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is some slight spindle wear.

PYE PRESSINGS WERE QUITE SUPERB AND CUT LOUD AND TOOK A LOT OF ABUSE BUT THIS IS BETTER THAN MOST THAT TURN UP!

TO UPGRADE THIS YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY HIGH! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see dozens of copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG, VERY GOOD+++++++++++++ CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EXCELLENT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

NO LONG LASTING CLICKS AND BUMPS! THE GLOSSY FRONT COVER HAS SOME CREASES MOSTLY AT THE EDGES AND SOME STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO RIPS/MAJOR DAMAGE etc

A CROSSED OUT NAME AND ADDRESS IN BIRO AND A DIFFERENT NAME ADDED AT THE BOTTOM.

A COUPLE OF SMALL SELLOTAPE REMOVAL STAINS AT THE BACK TOP CORNERS.

ORIGINAL PYE ADVERT LPs INNER SLEEVE-USUALLY MISSING! 

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS!  

THICK SPINE WITH EASY TO READ DETAILS.NOT WORN AWAY!!  

MOST THAT TURN UP HAVE THE FAULTS MENTIONED ABOVE-BUTU MOST SELLERS OVERLOOK TO BE HONEST-THE COVER FAULTS ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR AN ALBUM OF THIS VINTAGE-REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY!  

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic LOW £10 STARTING price with no annoying reserve.
