The forth variation of The Kinks debute LP I'm posting here. For more check the UK mono https://monolover.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-kinks-npl-18096-64-uk-mono.html , the UK domestic stereo https://monolover.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-kinks-gsgl-10357-66-uk-stereo.html , or the Australian release https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/06/kinks-plp-1128-64-australia.html . This is the UK export stereo, not first issued in UK as the demand for two-channel among the expected buyers was low there 1964. Though it was released nationally on budget label Golden Guinea around fifteen months later, as shown by the link above. With exception of "You Really Got Me" (which comes in mono) this is true stereo and it's a good one. Considering the equipment and instrumentation it comes out surprisingly natural with fine balance. There is panning, but also some overlapping, and no overuse of reverb. I especially like that the vocals on some tracks are split between the channels, so you don't get that "voices on one side and most of the music on the other" - a stereo mode too common back then. I do enjoy the mono, but this is certainly up there and can offer new insight to the music. It came with label as shown here in a laminated flip/back mono cover with stereo stickers.
