The Kinks - 'Face To Face' (NPL18149) 1966 UK 1st Mono Press Pye (VG+ Overall)

	£		50
	$		66

This is a cracking UK 1st press copy of ‘Face To Face, the 1966 ‘Kinks classic LP on pink Pye labels.; often regarded as one of the better pop-rock albums out there.
Play-tested ‘Sunny Afternoon’ (B6) as a tester which was nice and clear, the record is visually VG+/EX with lots of faint hairlines under bright sunlight, but not obvious enough to photograph cleanly and certainly not feelable with a finger. The sleeve has a solid clean spine, some mild damage to the bottom-rear flipback, some small bubbles on the cover and a dedication in the rear-top left; I’d call VG+ overall from handling but study the pictures and come to your own decision before bidding.

2. EX: Record will have some minor scuffs and possible more noticeable marks preventing a NM grading; a record that was played very little and has been taken care of.
3. VG Plus: Record will have noticeable scuffs and light scratches from being handled and played, but nothing too deep as to affect playback. May have light background noise in quieter areas but still no major issues; a record that has been played and enjoyed but not abused.
4. VG: Record will have scuffs and scratches from being handled and played, causing noticeable background noise and some disturbances/pops but still enjoyable overall; still a good quality record that can be enjoyed with life left.
5. GOOD / FAIR / POOR: Record will have scuffs and major scratches. Can still be played but will have background noise and most likely major distractions such as sustained pops or skips. Records with this grade are used for rare albums or ones that would be best used only for display.
