A 1ST EDITION WHICH IS RARE TO FIND 42 YEARS LATER IN SUCH SUPERB,NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION AS HERE AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY KINKS OR 1960s BEAT COLLECTION!

NOT ONE OF THE BAND'S BIGGEST SELLERS BUT ONE OF THE BEST WITH TYPICALLY BRITISH SONGWRITING WAY ABOVE THE AVERAGE STANDARD OF THE TIME! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS SEEN A FEW PLAYS WITH A FEW MINOR SHORT LIVED FAINT CLICKS,A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AND IS STILL IN MAGNIFICENT ORDER!

 FOR MANY DEALERS AND BUYERS IT WOULD PASS FOR EXCELLENT AS THE SURFACES GLEAM AND I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE BUT THE STRICTNESS THAT I GRADE ALLOWING FOR THE OVERALL VISUAL LOOK OF THE VINYL IN STRONG LIGHT AND COVER CREASES(NOTHING MAJOR) PLUS THE COUPLE OF SHORT LIVED CLICKS,TO USE VG+ WOULD BE UNDERGRADING BUT I WOULD NOT BE HAPPY TO JUST STATE EXCELLENT SO NEAR EXCELLENT IS THE RIGHT GRADING-SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!!!!!!!

ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I HAVE SEEN!

ONE OF THE FEW COPIES I HAVE SEEN! 

MOST DEALERS WOULD FAIL TO MENTION MINOR SOUND FAULTS BUT GIVEN MY REPUTATION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS RARE LP FOR YOUR POTENTIAL COLLECTION ADDITION-I FEEL IT MUST BE MENTIONED!!!!!!

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD 1960s BEAT EXPERTS/DEALERS.

************************************************** 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR,FAINT AND SMALL SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT  BUT THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

MOST WOULD STATE EXCELLENT! 

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO CLICKS A COUPLE OF SHORT LIVED ONES MENTIONED ABOVE!/NO SWISHES!  

Copies of this album were being sold in MODERATE 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 STEREO mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

BY 1968,FAR FEWER MONO VERSIONS WERE BEING MADE AND SOLD! 

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.

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

GREAT BASS 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 HARDLY ANY spindle wear!!!

THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS! 

THE COVER HAS SOME MINOR CREASES AND A LITTLE EDGE WEAR, BUT NO WRITING,NO RIPS,SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS ETC.

SPINE DETAILS-CLEAR,SHARP AND EASY TO READ. 

 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 NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
