The Kinks / First Album
Japan Rare LP


Pye Records UPS – 563 - Y

Appendices: "Different Cover” & “Insert”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese copy ( released in 1973 ) of their 1st album, comin' with rare cover. The cover is completely different from UK copy on its front & back. The back cover is with “Japanese liner notes” and the insert is with “English lyrics”. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer edges. It’s lightly stained with minor spots on the surface of back side, while being lightly scraped in the middle of front. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A few tiny slight scuffs are on Side A. Though there’re slight marks on each side, they’re not flaw but just “misprint” which doesn’t affect the sound. There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A…clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: Missing.

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.
