The record is pressed on MEGA THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is NPL 18317 on the 1st Press Blue Pye label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Kinks at their best!!!! Any fan of The Kinks, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! THIS RECORD CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a very VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNING as the visual!!!! There is NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and NO crackle!!!!  There is NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent++++ if not MINT(Minus)!!!! WHAT A SUPERB RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve!!!! THE MEGA RARE INSERT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND HAS CLEARLY NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE COVER!!!! The Gatefold 1st Press Stereo Cover is in STUNNING condition - and is one of the best covers for this LP I have seen!!!! This cover is one of the thinnest and most fragile covers EVER made and it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find it in this sort of condition!!!!  The cover has NO edgewear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear, virtually NO creases AT ALL (apart from 1 crease in the top right hand corner of the front cover), AWESOME perfectly shiny and UNGLAZED laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in STUNNING condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, NO rubbing and NO yellowing!!!! The only downside to the cover is a small area of typical laminate lifting along the spinal edge on the front of the cover - though it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to ever find one of these covers without this!!!! The only other thing to mention is some darkening/staining to the tips of the spinal corners - though there is NO splits and NO fraying!!!!  Take a look at the pictures - this really is a SUPERB Cover for this LP and definitely one of the best you will see!!!!  It is outstanding 'fresh' and 'sharp' looking and I would say it has been in a plastic sleeve for most of its life!!!! The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) and is VERY hard to find in this condition!!!!  THIS IS A STUNNING CONDITIONED STEREO 1ST PRESSING WITH ITS MEGA RARE INSERT AND VERY RARE IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  DONT MISS OUT!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!
