Labels: VG+.

General appearance is excellent – no stains or writing and the spindle holes are tight and undamaged.  Please note there are numerous spindle marks on both sides – they are light marks but are clearly visible when angled under light.  

Vinyl:  EX+

Under normal lighting looks nearly flawless.  In strong direct lighting can see some typical light sleeve removal marks and a few light hairlines. 

Sound:  EX+

Sounds terrific, strong and clear.  No skips or pops, only light static in quietest parts.  Silent or near silent run ins and between tracks. 

Cover: EX+

No writing, tears or other wear, staples in great shape.  Light ageing only.  Will be very difficult to find a better black text original cover. 

Inserts:  VG+ - EX. 

All 12 inserts, all original, only light ageing. Poster is in great condition.  

1) The Small 'NOTICE' Insert:- It is made on CORRECT 'thinner' paper (later ones are thicker), the print is in Navy Blue (later ones are bright blue), and the writing is in BLACK ink.  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). 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)!!!!

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:- 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). The 'handwritten text' on the reverse is crisp and printed in black.

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).
