THERE IS JUST ONE SOUND FAULT/MARK TO BE AWARE OF BUT IF NOT FOR THIS IT WOULD PASS FOR VERY NEAR MINT AS THE SURFACES GLEAM AND I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE!!!!!!!!!
ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN!
So the all important FAULT-PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!!!
THIS IS AN HONEST GRADING!
At the very end AFTER THE FADE OUT of the track,"Most exclusive residence..."there is groove mark where(I assume)a pickup has been placed down heavily causing a "fftt"type 1 second loud"pop"followed by four clicks BEFORE THE NEXT TRACK STARTS-SO NO CLICKS AT ALL DURING THE MUSIC!!!!!!!
MOST DEALERS WOULD FAIL TO MENTION THIS BUT GIVEN MY REPUTATION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS RARE LP FOR YOUR POTENTIAL COLLECTION ADDITION-I FEEL IT MUST BE MENTIONED!!!!!!
THIS REALLY IS THE ONLY FAULT!!

**************************************************
MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN EXCELLENT++++ CONDITION WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT AND TINYSURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT BUT THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!
MOST WOULD STATE NEAR MINT!
NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY CLICKS EXCEPT THE ONE MENTIONED ABOVE!/NO SWISHES!
Copies of this album were being sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!
In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP LPs were carefully considered and saved for items.
The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.
THE MONO MIXES WERE THOSE THAT THE BAND OVERLOOKED AND HAD TOTAL INVOLVEMENT WITH!
Those that were sticking with mono were usually using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds.
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.
I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.
There is NO spindle wear!!!
THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!!
NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!
PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS!
THE COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK, BUT NO WRITING,NO RIPS,SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS ETC.
SPINE DETAILS-CLEAR,SHARP AND NOT SQUASHED DOWN OR WORN.
Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other 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 EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
ORIGINAL PYE INNER SLEEVE.
THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!
REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
