Copies of the LP were sent to radio stations and reviewers, as well as being offered for sale directly to the public via advertisements in various national music magazines. Track B8 "Berkeley Mews" was unreleased at the time. Track B9 "Days" is an especially sloppy rough mix in stereo with all vocals in one channel opposite the Mellotron and mandolin in the other. Other mixes are also unique. Tracks A1, B1 to B4, B6, and B7 are abridged edits of the original recordings. The Track A1 medley was edited by Reprise Records, May-June 1969. A very limited number of Then Now And Inbetween LPs were included in the "God Save The Kinks" boxed edition [see Images]: a plain beige cardboard box with a circular tan sticker "GOD SAVE THE KINKS", brown and black. Boxes contain: • "God Save The Kinks" metal badge • A stapled plastic bag of grass with a sticker, "Official Souvenir From The Daviesland Village Green" • A small "waving" Union Jack flag mounted on a 2.5" pin * A facsimile sepia-tone "God Save The Kinks!" postcard • "God Save The Kinks" sticker (identical to the one on the box) • "A Consumer's Guide To The Kinks" (4"x14" on mustard-colored cardstock) • 12"x12" puzzle die-cut from the front panel of the gatefold sleeve for The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society • 2-page hype letter on W7 Warner Bros - Seven Arts stationery dated "Summer, 1969" 

This is the ORIGINAL 1969 U.S. PROMO box.

It contains ALL of the above mentioned items PLUS a "Just Released" insert promoting the "Arthur" LP! 

The inserts are in GREAT shape. The puzzle is complete. The sticker's backing paper is included, but loose, as the adhesive has dried up.

Vinyl is EX!

The cover is EX!

The box is intact, but the lid has one split at the bottom and some wear at the bottom left corner. It also has some brown spotting/foxing.

PLEASE NOTE: With 30 years of experience selling/collecting vinyl, we make every effort to detail sealed records to the best of our ability. We've sold thousands of sealed LP's over the years and our feedback on them is impeccable. However, we can NEVER be certain of the contents. Most people choose not to open sealed LP's. Sealed items CANNOT be returned if buyer opens them. If you are looking for a guaranteed mint play copy, PLEASE search for an open one.
Office Hours: Monday-Thursday       9:30AM - 4:00PM ET
If you email us at any other time, we will get back to you when we return to the office. 
   GRADING: Since vinyl collecting is a new hobby for some of you, and grading seems to vary greatly between dealers, here is an overview of our grading system:
We use a modified version of the Goldmine grading system. Our system adds a few additional grades for better precision.
Please note: unless otherwise stated, our products are VISUALLY graded. With thousands of items available we just don't have the time or staff to play grade everything. We grade VERY conservatively, which makes for thousands of happy customers all around the globe! All flaws worth noting to potential buyers (scratches, MINOR warps, cut out holes, saw marks, split cover seams, writing, etc.) WILL be listed in the item descriptions.
Still Sealed: When the item is still wrapped and unopened from the time it was originally manufactured. We do our best to ensure the items are not re-sealed before we acquire them for sale.
Mint: We NEVER grade any item "MINT"! Even brand new and untouched items, no matter how perfect they appear at first glance will have flaws. The flaws may be insignificant to most people, but a truly MINT item is absolutely perfect. This grade is THE MOST OVERUSED of all, primarily by sellers without much experience. If you see the word "MINT" used often, beware!
Near Mint (NM): Our highest grade. The item looks new/unused. With vinyl, it may have never seen a turntable. Covers are bright and crisp. NO splits or writing. Posters have NEVER been hung!
Near Mint Minus (NM-): An item that has VERY little (if any) use. The item looks NEARLY new. Vinyl may have LIGHT paper scuffing (light surface discoloration visible under the light caused by either contact with the paper inner sleeve or sometimes a minor pressing flaw; SCUFFS DON'T AFFECT PLAY). Covers may have a minor flaw such as a small wear spot or mark, but look otherwise NM. Usually these small imperfections will not bother anyone but the most discerning collector.
VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++): Also known as Excellent Plus (EX+): An item with a more noticeable flaw, such as a scuff line on vinyl (a LIGHT surface mark that can be seen, but NEVER heard) or MINOR ring wear on the cover. Again, flaws that are minor and perfectly acceptable to most collectors.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): Also known as Excellent (EX): Items that have been played, but cared for. Vinyl may have multiple scuffs or some LIGHT scratches that cannot be felt by lightly brushing with the fingernail. Vinyl should still play fine, usually with no noise. Covers may have light ring wear or edge wear. They may have minor writing or creasing. Still, flaws should not stop the collector from enjoying the item.   VERY GOOD (VG): Items show wear. Records may have light scratches. They should PLAY THROUGH with NO skips or repeats, but MAY have some popping, ticking or background noise. Covers may have heavy ring wear,  light staining, writing,etc., but will still be intact. VG records are good filler copies for collectors to fill a gap, or good copies for the less discerning record buyers. VG records are NOT trashed COPIES!
VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): These items usually look rough. The only items we list in this condition are rare titles that someone may want to own, regardless of condition.
