Description
THE KINKS MUSWELL HILLBILLIES RCA SF 8243 / LSP-4644 DYNAFLEX VINYL DISC
IN 1969 RCA DEVELOPED THE DYNAFLEX VINYL DISC ,A THIN VINYL DISC AS THE BLURB ON THE INNER SLEEVE STATES WHICH IS SUPERIOR TO CURRENT VINYL AND IS FREE FROM ANY IMPERFECTIONS AND HAS A LONGER LIFE THAN CONVENTIONAL RECORDS .THEY CONTINUED WITH DYNAFLEX UP TO THE END OF THE 1970'S AND THEN IT WAS SLOWLY PHASED OUT
THIS COPY HAS THE STANDARD UK GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE CORRECT RCA SF 8243 CATALOGUE NUMBER PRINTED ON IT AND MANUFACTURED BY HOWARDS PRINTERS IN SLOUGH
WHEN THE ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY PRESSED YOU COULD HAVE THE NORMAL VINYL DISC WITH THE CORRECT RCA SF 8243 ON THE LABEL OR A DYNAFLEX PRESSING WHICH THIS COPY IS
THE SLEEVE THE BEAUTIFULLY DEEP GLOSSY DISC THE PRISTINE LABELS AND THE INNER SLEEVE (APART FROM A BIT OF CREASING) ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION
DYNAFLEX DISC IS VERY FLEXIBLE AND THIN AND SITS PERFECTLY FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE ,I FOUND THE AUDIO WAS EXCELLENT WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES AND WAS SUPERB TO LISTEN TO. THE REVIEWS AT THE TIME OF INTRODUCTION WERE QUITE FAVOURABLE APART FROM THE CLASSICAL BUFFS WHO PREFFERED THE STANDARD 180GM VINYL ,ITS ALL A MATTER OF TASTE I SUPPOSE .
I THINK EVENTUALLY IT WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE EXPENSIVE FOR RCA TO RUN TWO PRESSING SYSTEMS SIDE BY SIDE AND ONE HAD TO GIVE WAY SALES AT THE TIME WOULD HAVE DICTATED WHICH ONE
