Description

 The Who - Live at Leeds Black Lettering 1st Edition Track Record – 2406 001
This is the first UK pressing (300 copies made), with the black stamp on cover (blue and red came later).
It contains a set of 11 inserts + MARQUEE POSTER (see below*) Housed in the original gatefold "bootleg" style stapled sleeve with BLACK text on the front and is in EXCELLENT condition
From my own personal collection and was one of the very first LPs I ever bought and being a massive WHO fan has been well loved and cared for ever since.
Grading is always subjective especially on a disk more than 50 YEARS OLD but I will give as accurate description that I can. Disk is bright and shiny but has light non feelable scratches / scuff marks on both sides. When playing there is no skipping or jumping but there is some crackling across all the tracks due to age but does not deter from the music which still sounds fantastic. Using Goldmine grading system I have graded it as VERY GOOD PLUS*.
*Goldmine Grading- Very Good Plus  The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. Paper products like sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split.

  • Matrix / Runout (Variant 1, Side A runout stamped): 2406001 A//1 1 1
  • Matrix / Runout (Variant 1, Side B runout stamped): 2406001 B//1 1 1

Does not come with original grease proof bag. Inner sleeve is plain white and unmarked (see pics)
This is the first UK pressing (300 copies made), with the black stamp on cover (blue and red came later).
It contains a set of 11 inserts + a poster.
The set was originally stored in a greaseproof-bag, where the inserts were held inside the pocket into the gatefold cover (see pic).
The set was composed as follow:
01) The Large 'MARQUEE' Poster (the "LIVE AT LEEDS" one came later);
02) The 'KINGS AGENCY' insert ('hole punched' to the left, later ones aren’t);
03) The Small 'DELIVERY NOTE' insert (thin 'typewriter' paper, later ones are thicker normal paper);
04) The 'MY GENERATION LYRICS' typed insert (with handwritten annotations and THREE handwritten '*' - stars - two on the right & 1 on the left, later ones only have two);
05) The Small 'NOTICE' Insert ('hole punched' to the left, later ones aren’t);
06) The 'NEW ACTION LTD' insert (folded along the central line, later ones are NOT);
07) The 'HIGH NUMBERS' typed payment insert (made in the CORRECT Yellow Colour, later ones aren’t, and folded along the central line, later ones aren’t);
08) The 'PREMIER TALENT ASSOCIATES' Contract Insert (made in the CORRECT Yellow Colour, later ones aren’t);
09) The 'EMI RECORDS' correspondence insert (made on CORRECT thinner paper, later ones are thicker);
10) The 'MARQUEE CLUB' payments insert ('hole punched' to the left, later ones aren’t);
11) The Small 'PICTURE OF THE WHO' photograph insert (every face & eyes of EVERY Who member are FULLY visible and 100% clear, later ones were badly printed, much darker, and lack detail);
12) The 'GUITAR OVERHEAD' insert (with 'handwritten text' on the reverse. The writing is PERFECT in COLOUR & DETAIL and most importantly in the EXACT shade of 'biro blue' and looks absolutely EXACT. All later ones are obviously (& badly!) printed in black).
