Description
THE WHO - MEATY BEATY BIG AND BOUNCY.
CRASH RECORDS USA.
HERE'S A STRANGE ONE - A USA ISSUE OF THE WHO'S COMPILATION ALBUM "MEATY BEATY".
THE NORMAL ISSUE OF THIS ALBUM IS A BASIC REQUIREMENT FOR ALL WHO FANS. THIS COPY IS SO UNUSUAL THAT I CANT FIND ANY INFORMATION AT ALL ON THE WEB.
THERE IS ANOTHER VERSION OF "MEATY BEATY", WITH ARTWORK SIMILAR TO AN R.CRUMB ILLUSTRATION, SHOWING A RATHER LARGE LADY BENDING OVER THROUGH A ROUND WINDOW. VERY LITTLE INFORMATION EXISTS ON THIS COPY, AND NOBODY IS SURE IF IT IS ACTUALLY A 'BOOT' OR AN AUTHORISED COPY. A PICTURE OF IT APPEARS IN THE WHO'S 2000 TOUR BOOK, ADDING FURTHER MYSTERY TO IT'S ORIGINS. I HAVE A COPY OF THIS, WHICH I WILL BE LISTING SOON.
THIS VERSION HAS THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER ON THE MATRICES - R198, P215 / 6. STAMPED 1A AND 1B, SO ITS POSSIBLY FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AS THE ABOVE MENTIONED VERSION.
THE BACK SLEEVE MAKES A DETERMINED POINT OF STATING THAT IT PAYS COPYRIGHT ROYALTIES (SEE PICTURES) AND SHOWS PICTURES OF JAMES BROWN ABOVE THE 'SOUL' HEADING, JOHN LENNON ABOVE THE 'ROCK' HEADING, AND OTHERS WHICH I'M NOT SURE ABOUT. POSSIBLY THE ALLMAN BROTHERS ABOVE THE HARD ROCK HEADING ? (ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED) THIS SAME PICTURE APPEARS ON THE FRONT COVER IN COLOUR. THERE IS A HEADING FOR 'EASY LISTENING', WHICH USUALLY MEANS IT ISN'T, AND A COUNTRY AND WESTERN ALSO.
THE TRACK LISTING IS THE SAME AS THE STANDARD VERSION, WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES.
THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, GLOSSY FLAT AND UNMARKED. THERE IS ONE FAINT SPINDLE MARK ON ONE LABEL, ONLY SEEN IF ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT. THE LABELS LOOK LIKE NEW OTHER THAN THIS.
THE OUTER SLEEVE IS A THICK CARD TYPE, ALSO CLEAN, FLAT AND AGAIN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ONE SMALL LIGHT CREASE ON BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THE INNER SLEEVE IS A PLAIN WHITE PAPER TYPE.
I HAVE BEEN A DEDICATED WHO FAN AND COLLECTOR FOR OVER 20 YEARS, WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE ON THEIR RELEASES, BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THIS ONE HAS ME STUMPED ! ANY INFORMATION FROM ANYBODY WOULD BE WELCOMED. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT'S THE ONLY ONE I'VE EVER SEEN, AND THERE ISN'T A SINGLE MENTION OF IT WITH A GOOGLE SEARCH.
I HAVE MORE RARE AND FIRST PRESS WHO ALBUMS ON AUCTION, SO TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER LISTINGS. MANY MORE TO COME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
