Welcome back to Psych & Pstuff for another round of Exc condition super rare LPs. Also I am sorry for the short hiatus. I will be posting today through Thursday. Now that the Holidays are fast approaching I know we are all looking for just the right LP for our music collectors. We will get to some psych this week, but first I have decided to put my early Kinks collection up for sale. I have 7 of 8 of The Kinks earliest LPs all in EX-MN condition except 1 which is a VG+. but still quite enjoyable. All are Reprise 1st editions on the Steamboat label.  Please look below for all Kinks titles for sale.

Tomorrow I will start with the Psych LPs, but today it's all about The Kinks. My grading is listed as LP/Cover.

So let's start with the Kinks 1st LP, The Kinks - You Really Got Me. This is an original Mono recording. The LP contains the track You Really Got Me, which chunky guitar sound would define the Kinks music for years to come. Only a couple of Ray Davies originals on this LP but it was the beginning of the 60s punk scene. This LP has to rate EX/EX. There some small hairlines and sleeve marks but the LP plays with Excellent sound quality and very light static between track. The cover is stunning with almost no wear, though there is a small sig as you can see in the photos. There are no split seams, the spine is perfect and all corners are clean. The labels are beautiful showing only a few light spindle marks. All that said this is an EX copy of this original Mono LP.

 These LPs are guaranteed to be a original. I will also guarantee that all items will arrive before Christmas in the US. Even if I have to upgrade shipping myself to priority service. But still there is plenty of time.

Please ask any questions and check my seller feedback. Prices are derived from past sales on Ebay, via Ebay, Popsike and Collector frenzy.  I also wanted to mention that my VG+ ratings are still nice playable LPs. There may be a few ticks or static between songs but still a very nice listen. The cover may also show a bit more wear or have a small seam opening, but still looks nice and clean. Since record grading is so subjectible to the sellers opinion, I wanted to give you my VG+ grading and what goes into calling it VG+. Thank you.

My grading system is M(only used on sealed LPs), NM, EX, VG+, VG, VG- and Good. LPs rated good will only be sold if they are very rare. I have been collecting and grading LPs for nearly 5 decades. I was a seller of guitars for many years on Ebay and now decided to put some of my LP collection up for sale. I have many Psych, Hard Rock, Blues, Jazz, Prog and more from the 1960s and 1970s. Many are still sealed. I will offer auction style and Buy It Now listings.

Shipping - I will ship media mail to anywhere in the US for $5.00 I will also offer Priority shipping for $12.00. I ship in LP mailers with the LPs outside of the sleeve to avoid seam splits. Sealed LPs will not be opened. I will also ship to Europe and Japan via USPS international First Class mail for $25 for the first LP. I will combine shipping. I will ship within 3 business days of receiving cleared payment.

Payment - I accept Paypal payments only and items must be paid within 3 days of listing's close. Please pay on time.

Thank you all and come back often. Please ask any questions you may have and check that feedback.
