Description
THIS IS A COPY OF THE 1975 POLYDOR ALBUM THE WHO BY NUMBERS, THE RECORD IS A U.K. REGULAR STOCK COPY (CAT. NO. 2490-129).
THE SLEEVE ARTWORK HOWEVER IS UNUSUAL IT IS HAND DRAWN IN BLACK INK AND SIGNED JOHN ENTWISTLE (AS PER THE ORIGINAL BUT THIS IS NOT PRINTED), EVERYTHING IS HAND DRAWN OR WRITTEN EVEN THE TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE (BLACK OUTLINE WITH GREEN INK INNER) THE OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE IN COMPARISON WITH THE ORIGINAL PRINTED SLEEVE IS THAT THE LEGS, ARMS AND GUITARS ON THIS VERSION ARE ALL DRAWN IN WITH NO DOT TO DOTS APART FROM DALTREY'S LONG COAT WHICH DOES HAVE IT'S NUMBERS. THERE IS ALSO A DESIGN ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SLEEVE THAT WE CAN'T MAKE OUT. I CAN'T SAY IF IT'S A PROMO ITEM, PROOF COPY OR ACTUALLY DONE BY JOHN ENTWISTLE, IT DOES APPEAR VERY PROFESSIONAL HOWEVER (IT MOST DEFINITELY HASN'T BEEN TRACED OR COPIED) AND ALONG WITH THIS RECORD WE ALSO BOUGHT A COPY OF 'LIVE AT LEEDS' IN A SIMILAR CUSTOM SLEEVE (BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT AS ELABORATE AS THIS).
THE TRACK LISTING IS ALSO HANWRITTEN ON THE REAR (PLEASE SEE PHOTO) SLIP KID, HOWEVER MUCH I BOOZE, SQUEEZE BOX, DREAMING FROM THE WAIST, IMAGINE A MAN, SUCCESS STORY, THEY ARE ALL IN LOVE, BLUE, RED AND GREY, HOW MANY FRIENDS, IN A HAND OR A FACE.
CONDITION WISE THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (A BIT AGED WITH SOME MINOR RING WEAR) / THE RECORD IS ALSO EXCELLENT).
