THE WHO

Live At Leeds

1970 UK TRACK RECORDS STEREO FIRST PRESS  WITH BLACK PRINT.

(A 'HOLY GRAIL' FOR WHO COLLECTORS)

On offer is an extremely hard to find first press of the seminal Who  Lp 'Live At Leeds'.

This is offered complete with all 12 inserts, including the POSTER, all in superb condition. (most posters ended up cellotaped or pinned to walls in the days before blutack). The poster in this package is in pristine condition and has never been near a wall.

This is the original flimsy gatefold sleeve with the ultra~rare BLACK TYPE FACE (The first 1000 or so only, and possibly only review copies, then the much commoner blue or red print).

This has the A1~B1 matrix numbers and the original white and blue labels with 'Made In Great Britain' text.

This looks a near EX as far as visual grading goes and this Lp plays superbly throughout and is  undoubtedly the best vinyl I have seen of this  Lp in along while.

A couple of factors to take in to account when bidding are a name written on side 2 of the label (see scan 4) and a bottom right corner crease and some other covers creases as shown in the last 2 scans~~BUT please remember the sleeve has no tears and has the original staples and was probably not meant to last as well as proper hard card sleeves.

PLEASE BID ACCORDINGLY ON THIS RARE WHO ITEM~THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN THE ORIGINAL BLACK TYPE SLEEVE.

GRADING : I grade records firstly visually and sample aurally for overall sound quality. Should you feel I have misgraded please remember that I offer a full NO QUIBBLE refund or agreed price reduction if I am off the mark.

NEAR MINT (NM)~~a top copy~audio listening and visual grading has not revealed any imperfections. Lp is guaranteed to sound superb and shows very little sign of playing.

NEAR EXCELLENT (EX- or EX or EX+)~~careful visual inspection audio sampling has not revealed any major imperfections such as clicks or skips~~the LP should sound superb and it will be hard to find a better copy. Sleeve and any inserts/inners are in excellent shape. You will not be disappointed.

VG++ ~~you will not be disappointed with this LP~may have some light surface hairlines under bright light but will sound true without distortion or any major flaw. Sleeve will be in good order.

VG+~~ audio listening has revealed some limited surface noise (especially at run~in groove and towards start of each side and the run~out groove) or the odd crackle here and there. Visually the Lp may have light scuffs but nothing major though has obviously been played a few times. There should be no skips or repeats and play without distortion.

Sleeve might have light creases or minor ringwear or spine wear but nothing too serious.

Overall the Lp and sleeve are still quite acceptable and a better copy may never come along!

STILL PERFECTLY PLAYABLE AND STILL A VERY ACCEPTABLE SOUND!!

VG~~not great and may have surface noise throughout but I will flag up this grading rarely.

The sleeve will have seen better days.

 Probably worth it for rarity value.

All orders guaranteed professionally packed.
