Description
THE KINKS KONTROVERSY STEREO Reprise RS-6197 original 1st press 'steamboat' tri-colour label
This LP is in great condition. US LPs of this generation because of their type of manufacture - pasted slicks on thick card stock often did not wear well this copy this copy is an exception and is amazing condition for a near 60 year old LP. The LP includes the original. The Reprise 'steamboat' tri-colour original 1st press label copies are becoming increasingly hard to find.
The sleeve exhibits the very lightest of shelf wear along the edges and very minor ageing, there is a small neat metal punch in the top LH corner. Other than that sleeve exhibits no major defects and is graded Ex/VG++ The LP is compete with the Reprise inner bag advertising other artists on their roster - a neat touch with this original purchaser has written neatly in pencil the date of June, 15, 1966 on the inner bag which I assume is the original purchase date, how cool!
The LP has been graded visually under a strong light and retains a deep shine and lustre (which makes it hard to photograph - note: the lines you see are not defects, but are reflections) there are no spindle marks I can see as such and may have only been a few times if at all and has been carefully looked after and is as such graded Ex. Please study the pictures as they form part of the description. I also believe I grade conservatively and err on the side safety if in doubt. Note this LP has been in my collection for many decades and has been carefully stored.
Please note in addition to above wording, the pictures form part of the description - therefore I recommend they are studied carefully.

Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery is my default shipping method as it offers full insurances and tracking and as such protects the buyer and myself and is a speedy service. I will send by 'normal' 1st or 2nd class. However, the buyer must contact me and confirm they will take the associated risk of an untracked and uninsured item in the post. I always obtain proof of posting.
I do and will combine postage for multiple winning bids, However, as I'm not a business seller I have to do in a round about manner. In when you check out you will need to pay the defined/fixed postage as set in the individual auctions. I will then have to refund you the over payment, I have already done this with items already sold - I do this after I Have posted the records and have the precise cost. I can generally post up to three LPs for the £9 Royal next day Mail Special cost after which the price pro-ratas up. modestly Sorry its such a convoluted way, but its the only way I can do it.
- I have been on eBay as both a buyer and seller since 1998 with a 100% positive feedback.
Keep tuned as I will be listing other rare Kinks vinyl in the coming days.
