The Kinks-"Arthur and the Rise and Fall of the British Empire"--180 gram reissue on the Earmark label out of Italy, released in 2000. We made a great find! AUSTRALIA! The vinyl has been rarely played. We play tested the record here in the Iconikrock basement using an Audio Technica ATLP120XUSB turntable and it played great on both sides. (see pictures). We cleaned the record anyway, using a Spin Clean MK2 record cleaner with distilled water and Spin Clean secret formula cleaner! The gatefold cover is in excellent condition with vibrant colors featuring the fat kangaroo! (we will call out small wrinkle on the front cover lower right not visible in the pictures). We don't just rate our records under a bright light. We clean them, play test them so we know what you are getting, we clean the cover and if needed we put the record in a new inner sleeve. After cleaning and listening to this record we fell is fairly rated a minimum of VG+ or better. No noise, no skips. If you buy this record play it as often as possible, enjoy it and pass it on. Thanks for reading our post.
