Muswell Hillbillies - Original 1971 US RCA Victor label 12-track LP

Original 1971 US RCA Victor Records 12-track vinyl LP - Kinks 9th album themed on 'tensions and frustrations of modern life'*, described as '...a blend of American and British roots music, veering from rowdy blues to boozy vaudeville.' and labelled 'one of the best Kinks' albums by Allmusics Stephen .T. Erlewine.

Vinyl has the generic yellow 'Dynaflex' company labels with vertical outline RCA logo to the left of centre hole and solid thin horizontal Victor logo to the right of centre hole.

Vinyl is held in a generic die cut 'Dynaflex' text inner sleeve - ultimately in an inner pasted picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is in extremely close to mint condition and has a single or two hardly noticeable sleeve marks - labels are mint - a, exceptionally close to clean copy.

Cover has almost perfect front and back centres... just a touch of the very faintest superficial ringwear. Cover has a little seam rubbing mostly centered to spine edges and in lower and upper corner regions - along with very marginal corner dents.
Cover is very nice and overall at least within the close to near mint/excellent grading limit.
