THE KINKS ( Rare UK 1st PRESS Complete with corret laminated gatefold cover )
ARTHUR OR THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
PYE STEREO CAT No NSPL 18317
COVER
This is the original 1st issued laminated outer matt inner Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold cover ! These type of cover were very flimsy with vulnerable spines , due to the disc being stored from the inside thus making it very unbalanced with alot of strain on the spine , hence the reason why it's so difficult to find an example with a crisp un-worn spine ( similar to the Beatles for sale ) and as you can see this one has not survived very well ! unfortunately this spine is torn at the bottom and the top with a piece missing ,the spine itself is very squashed the top panel (flimsy ) has some creasing ! the inside is very clean and apart from the spine / tears letting it down , it's still ok and would certainly be a great fill in ! ( see-pics) GOOD CONDITION !
VINYL
Thankfully both sides have survived alot better than the cover and still retain a lovely deep glossy shine with only a couple of light harmless marks.Both sides play through very well, clear and crisp audio with No pops, skips or repeats and only a hint of low background noise on the odd occassion ! looks and plays very well! a very nice example which is becoming difficult to find , both sides visualy and audibly EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION
LABELS Both labels are in clean shape with no writing , stickers etc but there are many spindle traces ! VERY GOOD+ CONDITION !
