| | Hi @thewillismon - apparently 16 speed records came in a variety of sizes - they were used for music but as you can imagine 16 rpm is not going to provide hi-fi quality. The only ones that I have seen were in a tip in Tasmania when I was a kid, they actually looked larger than 12" and according to the labels were used for radio ads for radio station 7BU. Anyway this could be a whole forum topic and not particularly relevant to this Kinks release. |

| | I had an old record player that had provisions for 16 records, but I've never seen one, and can't ever remember any old timers talking about them...Looked around on this site some, didn't see anything. I'm thinking they're 10" records? |

| | Late 50's/early 60's there were many changers that played 45s, 33s, 78s and even 16s. They didn't work too well with 78's due to the weight of the records. You could manually guide the record down the spindle and manipulate it onto the platter to play not using the changer functionality. |

| | @thewillismon: The 78 era was well before my time too. Good practical point about 78s, agree completely about 50s and 60s 45s - over-engineered (LPs too) which is no bad thing for their survival. |

| | @Scratchy45 The 78 era was before my time, and as brittle as 78s are Id be afraid an automatic changer would break em! I guess when 45s became popular in the 50s the automatic changer really took off, but alot of those 50s and 60s 45s were real durable and took some heavy handed abuse, by both people and machines! |

| | It's not just 12" LPs: look at the evolution of the "album" and you will find complete albums or mini-collection issued in autoplayer-sequenced 45rpm collections almost as soon as the 45rpm format appeared. These were carrying on from the 78rpm album - going off at a tangent somewhat, were there 78rpm autochangers too or was the autochanger added to the newer form of turntable to sell more of the new vinyl products? |

| | I guess the logic of pressing sides 1/4 on one disc and 2/3 on the other is to have two sides of "continuous" music playing in sequence. Most of the record players sold in the 60s and very early 70s had the tall spindle and changer arm for stacking LPs (yikes) which many people did till that practice fell out of favor in the 70s |

| | Added cleaner back cover image and sticker from front of original issue LP. I was going to add a cleaner front cover, but my copy keep getting flaring off the shrink wrap (it is still sealed). |

BEATLEJOHN 11th Jun 2015
| | Added original unused cover design..(don't make lead image)...inner gatefold spread same as standard issue...I think Allen Klein objected to the illegible title; "Kink nikles" when sitting in an album bin. A few hundred? were manufactured into covers, and a few hundred more slicks were making their way around, you don't see these very much nowadays....John |
