Description

Here is a chance to get this rare classic UK MONO LP by the superb KINKS.
ARTIST: The Kinks

TITLE: Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

 

VINYL CONDITION (VISUAL): EX lovely shiny vinyl that retains a nice sheen. There are light wispy sleeve removal marks/ hairlines only visible under extreme light all superficial and nothing that affected the audio

   

VINYL CONDITION (PLAY GRADE):  EX(+)  I have played the entire record and the MONO sound is FANTASTIC loud and clear.NO issues. Play graded on a Rega P3-24 deck. Denon amp.

 

SLEEVE CONDITION: VG(+) The original flimsy laminated front and back gatefold "MONO" sleeve is notoriously difficult to find in top condition. This one is not too bad. Has laminate pooling along the spine. Corner wear on the spine. Otherwise not the worst. If you'd like to see more photos please contact me. 


INSERT CONDITION: EX  The ‘Queen Victoria’ lyric insert is excellent with just a small creases on the pull tab (see photo).


LABEL: PYE NPL 18371 MONO


MATRIX: NSPL 18371A-1 * T / NSPL 18371B-2 * T STEREO

 

NOTES: This is rare, remember by 1969, the mono format had declined as the stereo mode had largely taken over. Most new titles were not even issued in mono, and if they were, they were almost all ‘special orders’. So finding a 1st pressing mono copy of this classic album is quite the find.
