Description
THE WHO - MODS AND ROCKERS 2 LP SET.
LIMITED EDITION COLOURED VINYL. STEREO.
MADE IN GERMANY BY RUTHLESS RHYMES LTD.
NO INDEX NUMBER, DEAD WAX HAS THE STAMPERS "GLC 414 A THROUGH TO GLC 414 D" TO THE 4 SIDES.
HERE'S ONE THAT YOU DONT SEE OFTEN, A 2 LP SET FULL OF HISTORY.
THE CENTRE HOLE COVER LISTS THE DATE AS 1971, YET THE BULK OF THE ALBUM WAS FROM THE SPECTRUM, PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 4TH 1973. AT THE BOTTOM, UNDER THE TRACK LISTING IT STATES "LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY 1973", AND "LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO 1974, WHEN AN AUDIENCE MEMBER REPLACED AILING KEITH MOON." THIS IS WRONG, AS KEITH PASSED OUT AT THE COW PALACE, SAN FRANCISCO, NOVEMBER 20TH 1973, WHERE HE WAS REPLACED BY A 19 YEAR OLD AUDIENCE MEMBER BY THE NAME OF SCOTT HALPIN. SCOTT WAS LATER AWARDED THE ROLLING STONE MAGAZINES "PICK-UP PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD." WHEN KEITH PASSED OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME THAT NIGHT, PETE CALLED OUT "CAN ANYBODY PLAY THE DRUMS ?", SCOTT COULD, AND DID, ACHEIVING SOMETHING THAT MOST ROCK FANS CAN ONLY DREAM ABOUT ! HE SADLY PASSED AWAY IN 2008, BUT WILL BE REMEMBERED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE WHO'S MANIC HISTORY. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL ROCK AND ROLL !!
THE COVER ALSO STATES SIDE 4, TRACKS 1 TO 4 AS BEING FROM SAN FRANCISCO, 1974. IN FACT, THE WHO DID NOT PLAY THE WEST COAST IN 1974, SO I ASSUME THAT THESE TRACKS ARE ALSO FROM 1973. IT DOES HOWEVER STATE "ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MINUTES OF PURE ROCK AND ROLL", WHICH I WONT ARGUE WITH.
THE ALBUM SLEEVE IS A GENERIC PLAIN WHITE CARD, WITH A LIGHT GREEN PAPER INSERT STAMPED "COLLECTORS EDITION COLOURED VINYL." IT SHOWS THE BAND AS CARTOON CHARACTERS FROM THE MARVEL COMICS GROUP. I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE GAP TOOTHED KEITH MOON PICTURE. THE INSERT IS NOW APPROACHING PARCHMENT STATUS, AND HAS A SMALL PIECE MISSING IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. THE OUTER SLEEVE STILL HAS ABOUT 70 PERCENT OF ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP REMAINING. THE TWO STICKERS YOU SEE ON THE SPINE ARE NOT TO HOLD IT TOGETHER, THEY ARE ON THE SHRINK, WHERE A PREVIOUS OWNER USED THEM FOR INDEXING. THERE IS SOME WEAR TO THE PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE, BOTTOM LEFT AND SOME CORNER DINGS ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OPENING EDGE. NOT TOO IMPORTANT AS ITS A GENERIC SLEEVE, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO SWAP IT AS ITS THE ONE THE ALBUM ORIGINALLY CAME IN, AND STILL HAS A LOT OF SHRINK WRAP ON IT.
THE RECORDS THEMSELVES ARE IN A LOVELY CONDITION. CLEAN AND SHINY, VERY FEW FAINT HAIRLINES WHEN HELD UNDER LIGHT.THE RED VINYL DISC HAS A ROUGH PART ON THE OUTER DEAD WAX. (SEE THE LAST PICTURE) IT'S FROM FACTORY, YOU KNOW HOW THESE "MANUFACTURERS" CAN BE! THE LABELS, WHICH BEAR A PICTURE PERHAPS NOT TOO POLITICALLY CORRECT, ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR, SOME SLIGHT AGE SPOTTING ON SIDE 1 OF THE YELLOW VINYL, VERY MINOR. THE INNERS ARE PLAIN WHITE PAPER.
SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT. A RARE, QUIRKY ALBUM FULL OF HISTORY. SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE RARE AND FIRST PRESSING WHO LP'S. MANY MORE TO COME IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
