HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' WEDNESDAY NIGHT AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE WEDNESDAY 19TH MARCH!)!!!!

As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights (and these will still continue!)!!!!  However as I had quite a few extra items of UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week (they really are TOP QUALITY, and NOT cheap overstock!) and completely ran out of time to list them last Sunday - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Wednesday auctions ending on Wednesday 19th March!!!!  So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Wednesday 19th March (and NOT Sunday!) - though of course, I will be putting more auctions on during the week for next Sundays auctions!!!!  And please don’t forget take a look at my other auctions, as there really is some AMAZING items listed!!!!  Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-


On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Kinks called "Preservation Act One" and is an ORIGINAL 1973 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press RCA label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE KINKS RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1973 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'PROMOTIONAL ONLY' RADIO STATION COPY - SENT OUT TO THE RADIO STATION WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  THIS LP WAS SENT OUT TO A RADIO STATION WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE BY RCA - IN THE HOPE THAT IT WOULD USED FOR PLAYING & PROMOTING THE LP!!!!  AND AS EXPECTED - IT WAS MARKED & CATALOGUED BY THE RADIO STATION, USING NUMBER STICKERS & ALSO MARKED 'LCR' ON THE COVER & LABELS!!!!  MOST IMPORTANTLY IT ALSO CAME WITH A VERY INTERESTING 'PRESS ONLY' INSERT - THAT WAS NEVER USED FOR GENERAL RELEASE!!!!  THE 'KINKS INFORMATION DESK' PROMOTIONAL INSERT GIVES IMFORMATION ABOUT THE BAND, THE CONTACT DETAILS, THE LP ITSELF - AND MOST INTERESTINGLY HOW THIS LP FOLLOWS ON FROM THE KINKS GROUNDBREAKING LP 'VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY' IN 1968!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET, WITH ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF COPIES EVER BEING MADE LIKE THIS!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1973 UK 'EARLIEST' PRE-RELEASE 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS RCA LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1E/1E MATRIX ENDINGS, ULTRA RARE 'PROMOTIONAL ONLY' PRESS INFORMATION SHEET, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'LYRIC' INSERT, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'CLOUT & BAKER' 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 RCA UK 1st Pressing from 1973 and is in GREAT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is SF 8392 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press RCA label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing (apart from the clearly mentioned 'LCR' radio station marking & number sticker!), and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has only 2 TINY surface marks, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays almost as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, barely ANY clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound in places!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must visually grade Very Good++++ if not better - with the playing grade only VERY slightly less (for the reason detailed above!)!!!!  BRILLIANT RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in what looks to be its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  THE ORIGINAL 'PICTURE/LYRIC' INSERT &  ULTRA RARE 'KINKS INFORMATION DESK' PROMOTIONAL ONLY INSERT ARE BOTH IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Clout & Baker' Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO splits, NO edge wear (apart from some almost INVISIBLE 'touching in' traces!), NO spinal wear (PERFECT side words!), only VERY slight rubbing towards the VERY bottom (NONE elsewhere!), only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO sticker marks, and NO writing (apart from a TINY 'Radio Station' number in the top right corner & 'LCR' Radio Station marking - as stated above!)!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, some typical ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good(Minus) if not Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) - and is still a VERY solid & presentable cover indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.   PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
