Howdy from the Record Sheriff! 

And welcome to my record auctions. I pride myself on listing only the finest items. Collectability and Quality are the keywords.

All records on sale have been fully playtested and are guaranteed to not have playback defects such as skips, sticks, excessive surface noise and/or serious degrading in audioquality (not part of the original pressing).

When available the original inner sleeve is included, but all records I sell come into a new quality innersleeve which will be put next to the sleeve into a plastic outer sleeve.

I do ship worldwide. Please read my note below the pics if you are in one of the excluded countries. I am shipping from the Netherlands, not the U.K. Thank you.

Please check my other Buy-It-Now offerings.

The Kinks – Village Green Preservation // Orig. Sweden 12-track PYE   

Label/Cat#:    PYE NSPL 18233

Matrix:   NSPL 18233A-1*T STEREO & NSPL 18233B-1*T STEREO

The Record:    EX-

This copy has had below average use. There are a couple non-sounding surface marks and some hairlines which can be detected in all-revealing halogen light. Clearly this LP has been well looked after and carefully played. Very good audio with not much surface noise.

The Labels:  VG  

The Sleeve:  G- 

The sleeve has suffered from water damage. Other than the discoloration, a few spots on the front were ripped off. Fragile but not falling apart. This condition is reflected in the asking price.

Note: 

This is the insanely rare withdrawn original 12-track (as opposed to 15) version which unintentionally found its way to the public in Sweden, Norway, France, Italy and New Zealand. As you can read on Wikipedia, there are striking differences between the two, most notably the two songs that were scrapped (Days and Songbird). To my knowledge, this Sweden pressing is the only one of the bunch that was pressed from British metal parts, and thus sourced directly from the masters. And you can tell by listening!

Please study the fully detailed pictures below.

I use the Record Collectors Grading system with just one + or – behind the grade. Mint minus is the highest grade I will use for *any* used item. Records are critically viewed under strong halogen light.  

Mint (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
