THE WHO - WHOS NEXT 1971 1ST PRESSING 2408 102
COMPLETE WITH RARE 'HEADHUNTERS' INNER SLEEVE.
HERE IS AN EXTREMELY NICE EXAMPLE OF A VERY COLLECTIBLE ALBUM.
ARGUABLY THE WHOS FINEST ALBUM, WHOS NEXT WAS ISSUED IN 1971. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO DETERMINE A FIRST PRESSING OF THIS FINE ALBUM, SUCH AS THE MACNEILL SLEEVE WITH A 'PINCHED' SPINE, AND THE AMERICAN SALES CODE HIDDEN AWAY IN THE CLOUDS ON THE ALBUM COVER,AND THE VERY IMPORTANT INNER SLEEVE.
THIS HAS ALL OF THESE, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY IT HAS THE CORRECT MATRICES THAT TRUE FIRST PRESSINGS HAD.
SIDE 1 - 2408 102 A1 11 33
SIDE 2 - 2408 102 B2 420 11 36
SIDE 1 HAS 'MG 12888 ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX AROUND THE LABEL - THE EARLIEST.
THE RECORD IS IN AN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS A MARK ON 1 TRACK ON SIDE 2 (NOT A SCRATCH) WHICH MAY CLEAN OUT WITH A RECORD CLEANER. OTHER THAN THAT, ITS SUPERB. THE MATT BLACK, SLIGHTLY RAISED LABELS (ANOTHER TELL TALE SIGN OF A FIRST PRESSING) ARE EXCELLENT, WITH THE FAINTEST COUPLE OF SPINDLE MARKS. THE VINYL EDGES ARE FLAT, AS FIRST PRESSINGS SHOULD BE.
THE SLEEVE IS SOLID, WITH SOME VERY LIGHT CREASING ON THE REAR. THE OPENING EDGE IS CRISP, SLIGHTEST HINT OF FEATHERING IF YOU STARE HARD ENOUGH. THE SPINE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, JUST A HINT OF SCUFFING NEAR THE LETTERING. (SEE PHOTOS). IT HAS THE TELL TALE 'DL73109' CODE HIDDEN AWAY IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER.
THE POLY LINED INNER, WHICH IS COLLCTABLE ON ITS OWN, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE FACES ARE CLEAR AND IDENTIFIABLE.
THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO PURCHASE A PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY, IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. SEE MY OTHER ITEMS FOR MORE WHO FIRST PRESSINGS AND RARITIES. I WILL BE LISTING MANY MORE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. ANY QUESTIONS WELCOME.
