This is the original UK STEREO 1st pressing from 1965 and is in GREAT condition (with a BRILLIANT cover)!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is NSPL 18131 (see picture) and is a UK Stereo EXPORT 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Kinks at their best!!!! Any fan of The Kinks, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, a few small hairlines (mostly only visible under EXTREME light), and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! The only other thing to mention - is that the record has a strange 'shine' ONLY when viewed under EXTREME light - though I dont know what could have caused this?  Maybe storage?  Or maybe the record has been cleaned at some point? I honestly dont know - but in any case it doesnt affect the look of this GREAT looking record (except under absolute EXTREME light) - and I doubt whether anyone else would have bothered to mention it!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! It plays with NO nasty loud pops, only a few light clicks/pops in a few places (NO nasty loud 'snaps' or loud 'pops'), NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and only some slight crackle in places (though this is always low level)!!!!  Importantly though - this record has NO nasty heavy distortion and still plays well and it is VERY hard to find an EXPORT Stereo 1st Pressing with NO distortion (most were played on the wrong needle and often have terrible distortion).  There is NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (maybe+) if not better (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed)!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!! The Flipback 'Patents Pending' 1st Press EXPORT STEREO 'Stickered' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The cover has NO edgewear, NO spinal wear, NO staining, only slight corner wear, only a few light creases, VERY shiny laminate and NO writing!!!! VERY importantly on this cover - the cover is VERY white looking indeed with NO yellowing!!!!  The MEGA RARE Stereo Stickers are in PERFECT 'unpicked' condition!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, and NO yellowing!!!!  The cover MUST grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME BEFORE YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO OWN ANOTHER COPY OF THIS INCREDIBLY RARE EXPORT STEREO 1ST PRESSING AGAIN!!!!  SO  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
