THE MYTH ABOUT SO-CALLED EXPORTS

Contrary to popular belief - this LP was never EVER made for Export For some obscure reason that I simply can t understand - the UK s main Record Guide states this LP was ONLY ever made in STEREO for Export Only To be fair - I simply followed the line like many other people , and assumed that must be the case.... wrongly. Then one day I noticed on the reverse of The Kinks Kinksize Session EP, that this LP was advertised there And it is advertised for sale in MONO and indeed STEREO This made me curious and I checked out a few music adverts from the time, which also promote this LP in Mono AND Stereo from various dates So clearly there was NEVER an Export release for this LP AT ALL - as it was 100 definitely sold in STEREO in the UK Possibly this Export myth stemmed from the 3rd Kinks LP Kink Kontroversy - which is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find in Stereo. However, again this myth would be easy to dispel by looking at copies of music magazines from the period. And if that LP was advertised in Stereo - then that wasnt made for Export either. Of course, the biggest joke is Face To Face , which everyone knows WAS sold in the UK in Stereo from day 1 - and yet that too is listed as Export Only in Stereo - when it was blatantly NOT the case. All other labels - Columbia, Parlophone, and Decca for example, ALWAYS had completely DIFFERENT Catalogue numbers such as the CPCS series for Parlophone Beatles LPs - so it baffles me why this LP is still listed as an Export issue.... when it obviously isnt Of course, this wont be any news to true Kinks collectors, as they will have already worked this out for themselves - but others who dont know should be informed. So to be clear - this LP was NEVER made for Export, and was fully available and sold in the UK in STEREO from day 1 Of course - this LP is still very VERY rare indeed, as almost NO ONE bought Stereo copies in 1964 - with AT LEAST 95 being sold in common Mono So YES this LP is still very VERY rare indeed But it is definitely NOT and never has been made for Export

THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS 100 COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL STEREO STICKER ON THE COVER FRONT ALSO ITS ORIGINAL NSPL83021 STEREO STICKER ON THE COVER BACK USUALLY THE FRONT ONE IS MISSING NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL IN FACT, THE RECORD REALLY IS EXCEPTIONAL - AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN LIKE THIS NOW AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SIMPLY AMAZING - EVEN THE INNER TRACKS PLAY SUPERBLY, WITH NO DISTORTION AT ALL JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS PYE LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS GARROD LOFTHOUSE FLIPBACK LAMINATED PATENTS PENDING DOUBLE STICKERED STEREO COVER THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY This is the ORIGINAL Pye UK 1st Pressing from 1964 and is in BRILLIANT condition The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.

The record labels are in SUPERB condition see pictures with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT 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, only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL And because this record has BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL - the sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either The record must grade Very Good if not better BRILLIANT RECORD 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 which is in BRILLIANT condition The ORIGINAL 1st Press Garrod Lofthouse Flipback Laminated Patents Pending STEREO Stickered Cover is in GREAT condition It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, slight corner wear NOT through the colour , NO splits, only a few VERY light creases cover is VERY flat looking , NO rips, NO tears, some evidence of tipping in to the corners, shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, NO sticker tears, NO sticker marks, only 2 or 3 rubbing traces on the black printed K barely ANY elsewhere AT ALL , NO yellowing, and NO writing There is also a number erasure trace on the white part of the cover - though this is very VERY minor indeed, and very VERY hard to notice The NSPL 83021 STEREO Sticker on the reverse of the cover AND the STEREO Sticker on the front of the cover - are both in SUPERB condition, and have clearly NEVER been picked at since they were put on the cover at the factory back in 1964 The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed if not better - and is still a very VERY decent cover indeed THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE STEREO - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY

MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS I always undercharge on postage :- Due to UK Royal Mail s obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100 guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package please check it when you recieve it . I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100 POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I ll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask
