Description
Record 1
Artist; The Who
Title; The Who By Numbers
Label; Polydor
Catalogue Number; 2490 129 Matrix; 1y1 / 2y1
Year; 1975
Vinyl; EX. The record has clearly not been played much. It retains its bright and shiny look with no scratches or marks at all. It looks as good as new, and plays really well. No spindle marks.
Cover; EX. Individually numbered 104777. The top edges and spine are all clean and straight with no shelf wear, but there is a tiny bit of wear to the opening edge. The 'join-the-dots' sleeve has NOT been inked in, which is rare, but there are two red crosses on the rear next to the tracks 'success story' and 'in a hand or a face'. There are a few minor marks around the cover, but the sleeves on this album were not laminated so it is susceptible to discolouration and grubbiness. This copy is in excellent shape. White paper inner sleeve.
The main auction is for the above mentioned album Who By Numbers but as a bonus I am including a very early press of their classic album Who's Next, please see details below.
Record 2 Artist; The Who
Title; Who's Next
Label; Track Records
Cat. No; 2408 102 Matrix; A1 / B2
Year; 1971 Vinyl; VG. The record has been affected by an inner sleeve that has left a sheen on the vinyl, so it plays with some surface noise, which is especially evident in between tracks and in the quieter moments. Fortunately there are not many of these on this album, which deserves to be played loud anyway! I played it all the way through and mainly noticed it during the intro's to songs. Cover; VG. Edges are all nice and straight, writing on spine intact and readable. It has some shelf wear, a little ring wear to the back, a little corner wear. Small mark on top right probably from price sticker removal. It comes with the Headhunters inner sleeve, but I have removed the offending plastic inner part and replaced it with a new poly lined sleeve.
Please see photos for more detail.
This lot comes from my own personal collection and has been stored vertically on a shelf in a smoke free environment, away from extremes in temperature and humidity.
