Feel free to send wants lists for Iranian records / Iranian pressings, I might be able to help.

Clearing a good part of my Iranian collection. As you probably know, records from Iran are extremely rare, specially after many of those records were destroyed following the 1979 islamic revolution. More than 40 years later, not many copies have survived, and not many in good condition. The records we are going to list are seldomly offered for sale, specially in this condition: most in VG+ to EX condition, with rare Picture Sleeves that back then were usually mostly seen as a plain "wrapping" and were just thrown away.

All records have been cleaned in a professional Loricraft PRC-4 record cleaning machine -- this doesn't make miracles (ie fix scratches) but it gives you the best sonic experience by removing dust and dirt stored in the grooves for the last couple of decades.

Bear in mind that even in Near-Mint records the quality of the iranian pressings is sound-wise not Mint most of the times. This is mostly due to the quality of the vinyl used back in the day, dubious sources used for the audio production, and also the fact that they tended to squeeze quite a lot of music on every side (long songs, sometimes over 4.5 minutes, by Persian artists, or EP editions for foreign artists).

Good luck when bidding!

Artist(s): THE KINKS

Side A: TILL THE END OF THE DAY / GOTTA MOVE (badly misspelled!)
Side B: ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT / DANDY

Label/Reference: B-B / 1010

Condition COVER: VG+, a bit of creasing and storage wear, nothing serious. SEE PICS.

Condition VINYL: VG+. Side A has a "depression", a pressing defect that looks like a little "bump", which causes a low "pop" on most of Track 1 -- not too disturbing. Shah stamp on label. Otherwise a quite clean VG+ without any further issues. Side B also VG+, superficial marks but nothing serious. Label side B has a little tear (see pics) .

FURTHER COMMENTS: Very rare Iranian press by The Kinks (best band in rock's history!?). Don't let the song titles on the back cover distract you, those are from another release... the songs on the record are by the Kinks!
