The Kinks - Face to Face MONO - Vinyl LP - German PRT 70's reissue

For sale is an excellent copy of The Kinks - Face to Face MONO on PRT Records (Germany). Cover is in excellent condition with a sticker in the upper left corner. The vinyl is visually stunning under normal light and looks excellent. However, in direct sunlight hairline scratches are revealed and i would have grade this VG (Goldmine standard). There is some surface noise present in between songs and on quieter parts. Visually the record looks excellent but play graded i'd give it a solid VG on my turntable. It's still very enjoyable to listen to.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I conservatively grade my records and try to disclose anything that might be a showstopper. I try to adhere to goldmine standard as much as possible. I understand that grading records can be somewhat subjective. That said, I'm astounded by what some sellers would consider NEAR MINT and i try to avoid that same disappointment in my grading. I typically visually grade the vinyl and give it a quick play test to grade surface noise, clicks/pops. I've been collecting vinyl for decades and regardless of what people might tell you there is no such thing as a perfect record. So, keep that in mind.. Some might be extremely quiet but there will still be the odd defect if you listen closely. Most record have a bit of noise but shouldn't detract from listening to them whatsoever. Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this and would be listening to CDs and MP3's. Also, some records are just pressed so poorly that they just will never sound good. End of rant..
I usually ship the day after i receive payment and expect that same courtesy after the end of the auction. I will gladly combine shipping but please make arrangements beforehand and wait to be invoiced.
I ship using USPS Media mail (slowwwwwww) unless you ask for Priority Mail (recommended). If you want upgraded shipping please ask before payment and i will invoice you the cost. Honestly, media mail is terrible and makes sellers look bad as the USPS is not required to scan for tracking only delivery confirmation. Not to mention is also very VERY slow..
