Description
Welcome to Heart of Wax - Vinyl online record shop. I shall endeavour to post up as many exciting records up here that I find. Usually all from private collections which I've sourced. I'm happy to post out records to all you lovely people of the United Kingdom. Generally each record is secondhand and has been played. All have been cleaned and listened to by myself. And if there are any faults or defects, I will provide them in an honest description below.

THE KINKS - ARE THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY
Original UK press from 1968. Super rare to get hold of.
Only The Kinks could write a concept album lamenting on the passing of old-fashioned English traditions. Ray Davies builds the perfect storybook of nuanced sketches, character profiles and a picturesque England. That in fact never really was. Because you see the clever part - and I mean clever like 'God, that's brilliant' is that there's an undercurrent of regret throughout. On one part Davies draws the listener into a warm, sweet, hazy dream but at the same time he's holding up a mirror to how Britain yearns for these sensibilities. It's outstanding. Beautiful melodies, chord progressions and and endless layers of innovation. I don't really know how to comment more on this record other than it never did very well in the charts. Proper mad that.
CONDITION
Sleeve - G-VG - some scuffs to sleeve due to storage issues (probably)
LP - VG - some minor marks due to age and play. Nothing which affects play.

POSTAGE
Due to price the postage of this record is FREE
OR
Local collection via my house or my record stall (when available) - FREE
I package each record using the 'cardboard and bubble wrap sandwich method.' Sleeve and LP are kept separate within the postage sleeve. It will arrive to your house looking very tasty but please don't attempt to eat it for your dinner. I only recommend popping it on your record player.
INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE
I have offered European and international postage to people on other records which I sell. However one particular continental customer has sent through some horrible feedback and been rather abusive - so I'd prefer to now only ship to somewhere in the UK from here on in. Shame really that we all can't get along. But that's the modern world for you.
It doesn't mean I won't ship abroad but you'll have to send me a message so I can figure out a postage price and whether or not I'm happy to ship this, or any item out to you. Everyone deserves a second chance.
All the best.
