The Who QUADROPHENIA, 2-LP, 44-Page Book, Gatefold, Track/MCA PROMO (1973)

$

30

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

• This is a First Pressing of the original 1973 release.
• The records have never been played but there is a blemish on Side C, Tracks 2 & 3.
• A  44-page, 12x12 book is included.
• The gatefold cover has a matte finish that attracts moisture and as a result there are a couple seam splits along the upper right opening edge.
• The drill hole on the lower right edge indicates this was a from-stock Promo.
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from the MCA rep in his record store in 1973. It has been in storage for 47 years.
