COLLECTORS NOTE ON THE 180 GRAM CLASSIC RECORDS 1ST EDITION TITLES: Classic Records has proven to be an Audiophile Company second to none in the new millennium. But Classic Records, unlike other top Audiophile Companies, does not place Limited Edition numbers on their LP jackets.

10 years ago, Classic Records changed their vinyl weight from 180 gram to 200 gram. 

What this change did for Collectors of the finest vinyl pressings was establish a First Edition element to Classic Records Audiophile pressings. All Classic Records 180 Gram pressings are LONG Out of Print and Very Limited Edition Collector's First Edition Pressings.

These First Editions have become some of the rarest pressings in the Audiophile Collector's Market. Just try to find them at any Audiophile Retailer. You might still find some limited inventory of MFSL or DCC pressings but I will bet my bottom dollar that you won't be able to find any of these 180 gram Classic Records First Editions. They are simply gone from the market and Mymusicfix has seen these First Editions sell for over $300.

In the long term, First Editions will be what Collectors seek. This 180 Gram pressing was tremendously limited before Classic Records shifted their vinyl weight to 200 Grams. When you take that into consideration, what will this First Edition Audiophile Pressing be worth in the years ahead? It could be one of the most collectible pressings ever in this 180 Gram First Edition.

How rare and valuable are each one of these 180gram sets now still Factory Sealed? Priceless!

Mymusicfix is giving you one of the last chances to collect one of these 180 Gram First Editions. Mymusicfix has a very limited amount of these Rare Factory Sealed pressings. We're sure you may not have known about some of these titles existed. Have fun collecting these Masterpieces!

These are tremendous titles and artists that Mymusicfix still has in these 180 Gram First Editions but we have very few pieces left of each title and prices will
continue to rise as inventory continues to dwindle.

ADDITIONAL COLLECTORS NOTE ON 200 GRAM ORIGINAL RELEASE TITLES: THE TWO TITLES THAT ARE 200 GRAM FROM CLASSIC RECORDS - ARE 200 GRAM AUDIOPHILE FIRST EDITION ORIGINAL SEALED LP'S - TREMENDOUSLY RARE OUT OF PRINT VERY LIMITED EDITION PRESSING RUN  - WITH THE COMPLETE PLASTIC WRAP SEALING THE ITEM NOT THE SECOND GENERATION WITH THE 3/4 SEAL AND THE STICKER ON TOP AS THE SEAL.

 You should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.

ROUGH MIX, 180 GRAM 1ST EDITION -  Pete Townshend’s 1977 collaboration with former Small Faces songwriter and bass player Ronnie Lane combines the loose rollicking folk-rock of Lane’s former band, Slim Chance, with touches of country, folk, and New Orleans rock and roll along with Townshend’s own trademark style. Lane’s tunes, especially the beautiful ANNIE possess an understated charm, while Townshend with songs such as MISUNDERSTOOD, THE Meher Baba-inspired KEEP ME TURNING, and the strange love song MY BABY GIVES IT away, delivers some of the best material of his solo career. Guests on this recording include Eric Clapton, John Entwistle and Charlie Watts.

2. Nowhere to Run          

3. Rough Mix     

4. Annie

11. Till the Rivers All Run Dry

SCOOP - 200 GRAM ORIGINAL RELEASE -  Pete Townshend's demos had grown legendary among Who collectors well before the official release of the double-album Scoop in 1983. On each demo, Townshend worked out full arrangements, which the Who would often follow exactly. He also recorded a wealth of songs and instrumental pieces that never made it to record. Over the course of two albums, Scoop features 25 of these demos, including both classic Who songs ("So Sad About Us," "Bargain," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Magic Bus," "Love Reign O'er Me") and unreleased gems ("Politician," "Melancholia," "To Barney Kessell," "Mary").

Occasionally, the songs sound better in their demo versions, particularly on latter-day Who songs, which were over-wrought in their official incarnations. But what makes Scoop so fascinating is its revelation of the depth and detail of Townshend's imagination, and how he refined his ideas. But even casual fans will find the sheer musicality of the record worthwhile it's one of the most focused and impressive albums he has ever released.

  1. So Sad About Us - Brr

2. Squeezebox

3. Zelda

4. Politician

ANOTHER SCOOP - 180 GRAM 1ST EDITION

A second collected volume of demo versions of songs destined to be considered for recording by The Who, this 1987 release on Atco Records is as an even stronger collection than it's 1983 predecessor. It (again) contains rough, acoustic workups of many Who standards in their infant form such as You Better You Bet, Pinball Wizard, Happy Jack, Substitute, Pictures of Lily and The Kids Are Alright among others. The curiosity lies solely in the head-arrangements on songs that were to become associated with time and enveloped within, Roger Daltry's vocal gymnastics.

Here, sung by Townshend himself, one can sense the writer's distinct persona. . The comparison to eventual "more famous" versions is fascinating in most cases. The exposure of these workups reveals how great these songs really are, stripped down.

LP1
1. You Better You Bet
2. Girl In A Suitcase
3. Brooklyn Kids

SCOOP THREE - 180 GRAM 1ST EDITION

In a world of trendy popsters, the "King of Rock Royalty" emerges solo with a new masterpiece. Scoop 3 is a continuation of Townshend's infamous "Scoop" projects, proving that carefully orchestrated lullabys, such as I Think I Like It the Way It Is, can co-exist with the cutting, raw power of bedroom style recording in Dirty Water. Townshend miraculously brings to life a notebook of his art in a fashion that may seem a bit unorthodox to some, but fully realized to devoted music lovers of all ages. This three LP set offers many moods to travel through, only to realize that Townshend is still a sure bet when it comes to pleasure, beauty, and intensity.

PETE TOWNSHEND'S WHO CAME FIRST - 200 GRAM ORIGINAL RELEASE -

Pete Townshend's first solo album is a homespun, charming forum for low-key, personal songs that weren't deemed suitable for The Who, as well as spiritual paeans (direct and indirect) to his spiritual guru Meher Baba. Who fans will be immediately attracted by the presence of a couple of songs from the aborted Who concept album Lifehouse (much of which ended up on Who's Next), "Pure & Easy" and "Let's See Action." The Who did eventually release their own versions of both those songs.

This record shows a folkier and gentler side to The Who's chief muse. "Sheraton Gibson" is a neat tune about rock & roll road life, and "Time Is Passing" takes very subtle inspiration from Baba. Most of the rest of the album contains some of the most unusual pieces Townshend has released: his acoustic cover of Jim Reeves' "There's A Heartache Following Me" (recorded because it was one of Baba's favorite tunes), "Evolution" (which is actually pretty much a solo track by his buddy Ronnie Lane of The Faces), "Parvardigar" (adapted from Baba's Universal Prayer), and "Content" (a philosophical poem by Maud Kennedy that Townshend put to music). Transferred from the two track 1/4 analog masters on the Bernie Grundman all tube cutting system and pressed on Classic s 200g Quiex Super Vinyl Profile.

Selections:
1. Pure & Easy
2. Evolution
3. Forever's No Time At All
4. Let's See Action
5. Time Is Passing
6. Heartache
7. Sheraton Gibson
8. Content
9. Parvardigar

PLUS THE JAPANESE 180 GRAM NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION OF PETE TOWNSHEND'S EMPTY GLASS - his first solo album since Who Came First, a vanity project released to little notice around Who's Next (so limited in its distribution that Empty Glass seemed like his solo debut). Some of the songs on Empty Glass would have worked as Who songs, yet this is clearly a singer/songwriter album, the work of a writer determined to lay his emotions bare…Empty Glass remains one of the highlights of Townshend's catalog and is one of the most revealing records he cut, next to his other breakdown album

Reimagined Classic Rock Opera on Limited Edition Heavyweight 180g Vinyl! 
Features Pete Townshend, Billy Idol, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, & More!

A leading icon of the British music revolution of the 1960s, Pete Townshend made his name by creating the power chord, smashing guitars on stage, and penning anthems of teenage rebellion like My Generation. Now, approaching 70 and half a century after he penned the archetypal rock lyric “Hope I die before I get old,” Townshend has created a “classical” version of one of The Who’s landmark albums – Quadrophenia – for a symphony orchestra, opera singer and choir.

The new “symphonized” version of Quadrophenia, an album originally released by The Who in 1973, was orchestrated by Rachel Fuller, a professional composer, orchestrator and singer-songwriter in her own right – and also the partner of Pete Townshend.

Classic Quadrophenia is released by Deutsche Grammophon/Universal Music Classics on 180g Double LP. The Classic Quadrophenia recording features Alfie Boe as Jimmy, Pete Townshend as The Godfather, Billy Idol as Ace Face/Bell Boy and Phil Daniels (the star who played Jimmy in the original movie version of Quadrophenia) as Dad. Also featured on the recording are the London Oriana Choir with Choirmaster Dominic Peckham, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Robert Ziegler and orchestrations by Rachel Fuller.
