The Kinks - Something Else By The Kinks (NSPL.18193)

Up for auction is an original and highly desirable 1967 UK pressing of The Kinks – Something Else By The Kinks on Pye Records.
?Vinyl Label: Pye Records – NSPL 18193 (Stereo 1st Pressing)
?Matrix / Runout: NSPL 18193 A-1 (Stamped)
?Sleeve: Original UK Flipback Sleeve – NPL 18193 (Mono)

?Condition
?Vinyl: VG
Visually shows surface scuffs and a visible diagonal scratch (pictured). However, it plays well and fully play-tested again today: produces fantastic, deep 60s stereo sound, no skips, and small amount of light surface noise occurs primarily in quiet parts.

?Sleeve: VG
Original paper/cardboard flipback sleeve showing light shelf wear, minor edge creasing, and age toning typical for a 1967 jacket.

?Note on Vinyl / Sleeve Pairing
?The vinyl itself is the desirable UK Stereo pressing (NSPL 18193), housed inside the UK Mono outer sleeve (NPL 18193). During the late 1960s stereo transition, record factories routinely utilized existing stock of mono sleeves for stereo pressings (often prior to adding stereo stickers or during early production batches), resulting in factory-issued hybrid pairings like this one.
