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.
