Description


The Who :  "Happy Jack"    LP    (the prized MONO pressing !!!)

Original US pressing (1967)

Decca DL 4892


The wax plays "like new".  (See details below.)

Includes original company Decca inner paper sleeve, in excellent condition.        


This iconic Who release features all original compositions, including the title track, "Boris The Spider", "Whiskey Man'" and the epic Pete Townshend medley "A Quick One While He's Away", a harbinger of his iconic rock opera to come: "Tommy".


Wonderful sound quality on this well recorded album.


Matrix numbers etched in the dead wax read:

Side 1:  MG10922T1

Side 2:  MG10923T2




Vinyl:  NM  (Plays LIKE NEW)


Super clean wax !!!  Exceptionally high gloss. 

Wax plays "like new" and suffers only from a few very light superficial hairlines (seen under bright light but not under normal light), which have no impact on sound quality.                    

Superb sound on this well recorded album, in the original glorious MONO !!!

Labels are essentially flawless, look like new.      (SEE PHOTOS)



Jacket:  VG


Jacket front color photo is rich and sharp, with nice gloss.  A trace of ring wear is evident.

Jacket back B&W photos and text are clear and sharp.  Modest ring wear is present.

Spine shows significant damage (rub wear & 1 inch split).  Spine print only partially legible.

Seams show modest rub wear ... but no splits are present on either the top or bottom seam.                                                             

                                                                                                  (SEE PHOTOS)

                                                                                                                                                           

Here find the classic early Who release "Happy Jack" as an original US pressing on Decca ... in MONO !!!  The wax here is primo.  You will be "hard pressed" to find another opened copy of this gem whose wax is in better condition.  Hoping this wonderful collectible goes to a good home.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

My Profile / Policies:

Note:  I've qualified for the "Top Rated Plus" seal from eBay, awarded to sellers who consistently deliver outstanding customer service.

Music is my passion.  I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.  

All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

All are play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.

As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.

All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.

International customers pay shipping costs and duties per the eBay Global Shipping Program guidelines. 

Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
