Description
Hi All, the thinning out of my collection continues and I’ve sorted out a few more choice cuts in the collection for your consideration as well as a few ‘vinyl staples’ for the discerning new entrant to collecting. For your consideration we have:
Title: KINKS by THE KINKS
Cat No: NPL 18096 – MONO
Issue: Original 1964 issue on the PINK PYE Label
Vinyl Condition visual: Visually, the vinyl grades as VG; it has retained some of its gloss and a little of its sheen. The surfaces to both sides are in VG condition with a few light marks and a few light scratches, however these are non-feelable and pretty superficial and do not affect play at all.
Vinyl Condition Playback: The vinyl grades as G+; audible static, clicks and pops are present during the playback. More obvious at the run-in/out to both sides and between tracks, however, some static can be heard during the music. This is more evident when wearing headphones and less so when listening through speakers. . There are no skips or jumps and the vinyl lays flat on the turntable.
Label Condition: EX; fine examples, aside from some light spindle marks there is no other damage, writing or unwanted blemishes to the labels at all. The text is clear and legible on these lovely flat-matt labels.
Cover Front: The front of this laminated sleeve grades as VG. Ageing gracefully - good lamination cover a few very mild folds and a few dings at the open edge. The only real issue is that there is an area of wear at the bottom edge, about 2 inches – it has not worn through, however, there is a loss of laminate. Had it not been for this I would have graded the front EX. No other damage at all. Despite the few mentioned points, I’ve not seen too many better to be honest.
Cover Back: VG+; the unlaminated back is in VG+ condition overall and very nearly EX. Just age related, and very slight browning to the mainly white back, all of which being age related and commensurate with grade. All the flip-backs are in good solid condition, the lower right corner is knocked and there are a few dings at the opening edge but that’s about it. Again I think I’m being too cautious; the back is fab for 47 yrs old!
Spine: EX; the spine is intact and has VG+ lamination; all the text is legible. Its retained an Ex square shape.
Corners: VG; some very mild knocks to all corners.
Postage: With regard to postage, all records will be posted in 12” Defenda- corrugated mailers so they should arrive as they left me. Finally, I offer a no nonsense refund if you’re not delighted with your purchase, less postage of course, which hopefully provides you with sufficient confidence to take a shot, and if you do, good luck.
Payment: Most unusually I have had a few non-payers recently; therefore, please only bid if you intend paying for the item in 7 day’s. Much appreciated.
