AN EARLY 1ST EDITION WHICH IS RARE TO FIND OVER 40+ YEARS LATER IN SUCH SUPERB,STRONG VG+++ CONDITION GRADING AS HERE AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY CLASSIC ROCK COLLECTION! THE OVERALL GRADING OF VERY GOOD++ IS ACTUALLY MUCH NEARER TO EXCELLENT AS THERE ARE NO NASTY CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS BUT THE COVER AND BOOKLET ARE INCLUDED IN THE OVERALL GRADING AND WHEN GRADING SERIOUSLY RARE SETS LIKE THIS,I WANT BIDDERS TO BID WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THEY ARE NOT GETTING TRASHED OR THRASHED OVER GRADED RUBBISH! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS SEEN A FEW PLAYS BUT IS STILL IN VERY NICE ORDER AND SOUNDS GREAT WITH SOME,MOSTLY VISUAL SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EXCEPT AT THE STARTS AND ENDS OF SOME OF THE TRACKS AT THE QUIET PARTS!

A LITTLE"DISTORTION"DUE TO GROOVE WEAR ON A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS BUT MUCH OF THE FOUR SIDES ARE VERY CLEAR AND SOUND NICE! 

BASED ON THE ACTUAL SOUND WHICH IS FREE OF LOUD CLICKS,MAJOR DISTORTION AND NO NASTY STICKS OR JUMPS BUT STILL HAVING MOSTLY VISUAL SURFACE MARKS PRODUCING MINIMAL CRACKLE HERE AND THERE, IT IS FAR BETTER THAN VG+++++ BUT AS SURFACE MARKS ARE STILL PART OF MY STRICT GRADING POLICY, NEAR EXCELLENT WOULD BE MOST DEALERS GRADING!!!!! 

IT IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST FIRST EDITIONS I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD IN YEARS! 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.    

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE!!! 

AN ORIGINAL STEREO ONLY 1ST EDITION FROM 1969 OF THE GROUPS WONDERFUL DOUBLE ALBUM ISSUED ON THE UK POLYDOR PRESSED TRACK BLACK LABELS .  

THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few years later-This ESSENTIAL DOUBLE LP pressed within the first few MONTHS of issue from 1969 when THE WHO were one of the biggest bands in the world and this DOUBLE LP was the one of the most exciting projects of it's time, AND STILL IS TODAY.

ONE OF THE BAND'S BEST, SONGS THAT WOULD INFLUENCE MILLIONS OF OTHER MUSICIANS AND WOULD LEAD TO A FILM AND STAGE SHOW!

AN INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 40+ YEARS ON! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS SET IS STRICTLY GRADED IN VERY GOOD+++ CONDITION WITH SOME SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!  

Copies of this DOUBLE album were being sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!

Just to explain, in 1969,the majority of fans were using poor equipment.  

THIS SET HAS BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES BUT STILL SOUNDING GREAT! 

The mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE WHO and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT THREE TIMES TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is MINOR spindle wear!!!

EACH LABEL HAS THE NAME"ROGERS"IN BIRO PEN IN THE "T"OF THE TRACK LOGO

NO OTHER WRITING ON THE LABELS/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

The surface marks are MINIMAL!

There is A LITTLE surface crackle, but it is MINIMAL.

NO DEEP MARKS!

NO NASTY BIG SCUFFS!

THE COVER HAS SOME MAJOR EDGE/SPINE WEAR + A FEW  CREASES,MAINLY AT THE CORNERS AND EDGES BUT NO STAINING,NO NASTY RIPS,NO STAPLES, NO HOLE CUTS ETC.

A STRIP OF SELLOTAPE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM ONE EDGE LEAVING BEHIND SOME STAINING THAT MAY BE REMOVABLE WITH CAREFUL CLEANING.

VERY FEW SURVIVE WITHOUT THIS FAULT.

IN SMALL BIRO INSIDE THE TOP LEFT CORNER"ROGERS TOMMY THE WHO".

"ROGERS"IN TINY BIRO AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE LYRIC BOOKLET WHICH HAS SOME STAINING AND CREASES BUT NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND IS COMPLETE! 

 Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults AND WITHOUT THE NUMBERED LYRIC BOOKLET.
