THE WHO - TOMMY
Original UK pressing on the black Track Label
Catalogue-No.: 613013
Stamper-Matrixes: Av1, B//3, B//2 Mely and B//2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A must have for any Rock collection. The additional engraving "Mely" identifies this one as being mastered by genius George Peckham (Porky/Pecko) and in fact it sounds fantastic. This 2nd UK issue is every bit as good as the utterly expensive 1st pressing.
I compare my pressings on top notch equipment, using the expensive BENZ MICRO SLR Gullwing MC-cartridge with the Micro Ridge cut diamond. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops.
The Vinyl: NEAR MINT
Held up into a very strong light I can hardly see any hairlines. The playback is fantastic throughout. Vinyl is clean and shiny. The sound is rich and full bodied with no distortion on any track. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.
The Labels: EXCELLENT+
Very clean, bright color and no unwanted writing. A very few spindle traces.
The Sleeve: VG++
Usually this Sleeve is really trashed. Although the one on auction has seen better days it is not bad at all. It has some slight edge rubbing and ring-wear on the back but no splits, rips or tears. Comes complete with booklet (see picture).
Original Inner Sleeves: VG++ to EXCELLENT
correct Sleeves with "plastic bags can be dangerous" warning, slight discoloration from age on top and bottom, no splits or tears.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee mentioned above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany. PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE BEFORE YOU PAY. Payment is required within 3 days after auction ended,
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
