Excellent Gift for the Vinyl Collector!!!! |
Have confidence, I'm selling my own personal vinyl collection. Most of my LP's remain unplayed, I used to collect vinyl as I worked in a record shop and have hundreds of rare records.
Please read the vinyl and sleeve grading below.
Here we have my own original, First Pressing and much sought after copy of The Kinks - Preservation Act One. It is a 12" LP, 33 ⅓ rpm with a solid centre. Published 1973 on the RCA Victor Record Label, Cat No SP 8392. Ref Discogs info, on the runout of side 1 is etched SF 8392-A-1E A3I, and on side 2 is SF 8392-B-1E A3C making this a first UK pressing! If you think this LP is not a first pressing, do not buy!
The vinyl has the usual fine hairline surface blemishes associated with vinyl of this age. I have test played both sides and the play through without issues on my system. I have graded the vinyl as Very Good+. The inner lyric sheet has some minor corner creases so have graded it as Very Good+. The inner sleeve is original, has yellowed slightly and has the usual corner creases. I have graded this as Very Good+ and the original Picture Sleeve has minor shelf wear, disc impression to the rear and minor creasing see pics and is graded as Very Good+.
Please read the grading system below!
See pic's for playlist.
This has been stored in my own LP Library!

EXCELLENT (EX): Minor scuffs which are visible. There may be more than a few scuffs.
It should play without any problem!

but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause minor surface noise.
GOOD (G) Record has visible scratches / scuffs but plays without jumping / skipping.
FAIR (F) Record may jump or skip but worth having in the collection.
Cover & Sleeve Grade - Please Read.

but no ink wear! Some creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye.
