1ST UK PRESSING

A1/B1 MATRICES

FOLD OUT MACNEILL PRESS SLEEVE WITH BLACK LETTERING

WITH 12 INSERTS THAT HAVE ALL THE TELL TALE SIGNS OF BEING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS INSERTS AND NOT THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN SWAPPED AND CHANGED. WITH HEAVY CARD TO KEEP SECURE STILL PRESENT

THE DETAILS ARE AS FOLLOWS (PLEASE SKIP IF YOU ALREADY HAVE BEDTIME READING)

1) The small 'NOTICE' Insert:- It is made on CORRECT 'thinner' paper (later ones are thicker) and is 'hole punched' to the left (later ones arent), the print is in Navy Blue (later ones are bright blue), and the writing is in VERY dark blue (later ones are dark black).  It is also worth noting that on the second written line it states 'Mr Lambert - Who' - whereas on many later pressings the word 'Who' is missing!!!!

2) The Small 'DELIVERY NOTE' insert:- It made on CORRECT thin 'typewriter' paper (later ones are thicker normal paper), and the 'typed' text looks EXACTLY as any typewriter would (later ones look obviously printed in dark black!). 

3) The 'MY GENERATION LYRICS' typed insert (with handwritten annotiations):- It is made on CORRECT thin 'typewriter' paper (later ones are thicker), has PERFECT typewriter text (later ones are darker and look terrible), the pencil handwritten annotations look EXACTLY like pencil (later ones look obviously printed!) and there are THREE handwritten '*' (stars) - two on the right & 1 on the left (later ones only have two!).

4) The 'KINGS AGENCY' insert:- It is made on CORRECT 'thinner' paper (later ones are thicker) and is 'hole punched' to the left (later ones arent!). The print is EXACT and the 'Barry Perkins' signature is the absolute PERFECT biro colour and detail (later ones arent!).

5) The 'NEW ACTION LTD' insert:- It is made on CORRECT 'thinner' paper (later ones are thicker), folded along the central line (later ones are NOT), The Action logo is in light grey (later ones arent), the 'New Action Ltd' is in the CORRECT and EXACT shade of Blue, and the handwritten Red Felt Tipped Pen looks EXACTLY correct in colour & detail (unlike later ones which are obviously printed!)

6) The 'HIGH NUMBERS' typed payment insert:- It is made in the CORRECT Yellow Colour (later ones arent!), is made with CORRECT thin 'typewriter' paper (later ones are on thicker normal paper), is folded along the central line (later ones arent), the typewriter text is EXACT (later ones look obviously printed!), and the bottom typewritten line finishes exactly 1 cm above the bottom of the paper (later ones are lower!).

7) The 'PREMIER TALENT ASSOCIATES' Contract Insert:- It is made in the CORRECT Yellow Colour (later ones arent!), is made on CORRECT thin 'typewriter' paper (later ones are on thicker normal paper), the 'Received' stamp at the bottom is PERFECT and COMPLETE (later ones are so badly printed that most of this is missing!), and BOTH signatures at the bottom are EXACTLY correct in colour & detail (later ones arent)!!!!

8) The 'EMI RECORDS' correspondence insert:- It is made on CORRECT thinner paper (later ones are thicker!), and the typeface, EMI Title Colour & 'John Burgess' signature are EXACTLY correct in colour and detail (later ones arent - and look obviously printed!).

9) The 'MARQUEE CLUB' payments insert:- It is made on CORRECT thinner paper (later ones are thicker), the handwritten details are EXACT in detail & blue colour, and the typeface is EXACT (later ones arent!)

10) The Small 'PICTURE OF THE WHO' photograph insert:- ALL faces & background are PERFECT in detail & colour (later ones arent), and IMPORTANTLY every face & eyes of EVERY Who member are FULLY visible and 100% clear (later ones were badly printed, much darker, and lack detail).

11) The 'GUITAR OVERHEAD' (with 'handwritten text' on the reverse) insert:- This has to be regarded as one of the most IMPORTANT inserts of all!!!!  It was changed soonest - and only a few hundred were ever made like this!!!!  As a GENIUNE 'Earliest' 1st Press insert - it is printed on thinner matt paper (later ones are thicker and have a different texture), and the picture is PERFECT in detail (later ones arent). HOWEVER MOST IMPORTANTLY is the 'handwritten text' on the reverse!!!!  It is PERFECT in COLOUR & DETAIL and most importantly in the EXACT shade of 'biro blue' and looks absolutely EXACT.  All later ones are obviously (& badly!) printed in black - or a terribly crude bright blue colour.  It is also worth noting that the crude 'handwritten picture' in the middle is COMPLETE (later ones have most of it missing) and this insert is folded down the central line (later ones ARENT).

12) The Large 'MARQUEE' Poster:- Is CORRECTLY printed with a VERY light 'semi-gloss' front (later ones were shiny!) and a HEAVILY textured reverse to the poster (later ones dont - and are either lightly textured - or even shiny).

AUDIO WISE THE RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. STUNNING AUDIO. ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL CRACKLE AND MINIMAL POPS/CLICKS. CONSIDERING THIS HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED IT'S ASTOUNDING AUDIO.

-----

ALL RECORDS LISTED THIS WEEK THAT HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED COME FROM A ONE OWNER COLLECTION. THE RECORDS HAD NOT BEEN PLAYED FOR AROUND 20 YEARS AND THE ROOM IN WHICH THEY WERE STORED HAD NOT EVEN BEEN USED SINCE THAT TIME. THE CONDITION OF THE RECORDS IS GENERALLY STUNNING AND THE PLAYBACK IS SIMILARLY STUNNING. I AM CERTAIN THAT WITH A CLEAN THESE RECORDS WOULD PLAY BETTER THAN THE NEAR MINT GRADING AND WILL BE AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU WILL FIND. SLEEVES ARE SIMILARLY IN GREAT CONDITION AS THEY HAD BEEN STORED APART IN RACKS SO THAT NONE OF THE EXCESSIVE RING WEAR THAT YOU USUALLY GET ON THE SLEEVES IS PRESENT.

 ---

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM OUTER SLEEVES BEFORE POSTING TO STOP ANY DAMAGE AND WRAPPED WITH STIFFENERS IN CUSTOM MAILERS. ALL ITEMS ARE PLAY GRADED ON A LINN TURNTABLE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.
