CATALOGUE NUMBER 2406 001

MACNEILL PRESS TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

11 INSERTS ARE PRESENT - PLEASE READ AS THIS IS THE INCREDIBLY RARE 1ST PRESSING WITH ORIGINAL INSERTS. THE SMALL PHOTO IS MISSING. ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

1) The Small 'NOTICE' Insert:- It is made on CORRECT 'thinner' paper (later ones are thicker) and is 'hole punched' to the left (later ones arent), the print is in Navy Blue (later ones are bright blue), and the writing is in VERY dark blue (later ones are dark black).  It is also worth noting that 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) and is 'hole punched' to the left (later ones arent!). 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)!!!!

8) The 'EMI RECORDS' correspondence insert:- It is made on CORRECT thinner paper (later ones are thicker!), and the typeface, EMI Title Colour & 'John Burgess' signature are EXACTLY correct in colour and detail (later ones arent - and look obviously printed!).

9) The 'MARQUEE CLUB' payments insert:- It is made on CORRECT thinner paper (later ones are thicker), the handwritten details are EXACT in detail & blue colour, and the typeface is EXACT (later ones arent!)

10) The Small 'PICTURE OF THE WHO' photograph insert:- MISSING

11) The 'GUITAR OVERHEAD' (with 'handwritten text' on the reverse) insert:- This has to be regarded as one of the most IMPORTANT inserts of all!!!!  It was changed soonest - and only a few hundred were ever made like this!!!!  As a GENIUNE 'Earliest' 1st Press 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). HOWEVER MOST IMPORTANTLY (see pictures) is the 'handwritten text' on the reverse!!!!  It 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 - or a terribly crude bright blue colour.  It is also worth noting that the crude 'handwritten picture' in the middle is COMPLETE (later ones have most of it missing) and this insert is folded down the central line (later ones ARENT).

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).

UNTIL RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN LISTING QUITE A FEW RECORDS WEEKLY. I HAVE REALISED THAT SOMETIMES A VISUAL GRADING IS NOT ENOUGH AND FOR THAT REASON I WILL BE PLAYGRADING ONLY ONE OR TWO RECORDS EACH DAY AND  LISTING ON EITHER ON THURSDAY ON A TEN DAY LISTING OR ON SUNDAY ON A SEVEN DAY LISTING. RECORDS ARE GIVEN A WIPE AT MOST WITH A DRY CLOTH BUT THE MAJORITY I WILL LEAVE FOR THE BUYER TO CLEAN AS EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN METHOD. ALL RECORDS WILL BE POSTED WITH MULTIPLE STIFFENERS AND WITH THE RECORD REMOVED FROM SLEEVE AND PLACED IN A SEPARATE POLY BAG.

VINYL

THIS VINYL IS GRADED AS A STRONG EXCELLENT. THERE IS OCCASIONAL STATIC CRACKLE AND THE OCCASIONAL POP.  I THINK THOUGH THAT IT IS MEANT TO SOUND LIKE THIS AS THE LP WAS MARKETED TO LOOK LIKE A BOOTLEG AND THESE WOULD NORMALLY HAVE SOUND DEFECTS. THESE ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND IT SOUNDS SUPERB.VISUALLY THE VINYL GRADES STRONG EXCELLENT WITH MINOR MARKS.

SLEEVE

THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. BLACK TEXT AND A STICKER REMOVAL MARK TOP RIGHT. SOME MINOR STAINING.

NO RESERVE

HAPPY BIDDING!
