The Who Quadrophenia LP **GENUINE UK 1st Press** TOP AUDIO [Ex+/Ex-]

Description

An original 1st press of QUAD on the UK Track label. Matrix A1/B2-A1/B2. Make sure you're getting a true first pressing... The labels should be Matt and flat...i.e. not shiny..and not ridged. Why is this a big deal? Because the 1st copies are that bit nearer the original masters and they were pressed heavier. The net result - much better sound! The vinyl comes housed in an original soft card cover - these are the genuine 1st issue. Due to the way they were manufactured it is hellishly difficult to find an even ok looking copy. We also have both 'plastic bag warning' inner sleeves. So, we're 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) A very sparingly played copy - it has been well cared for. Under close inspection I could only make out, perhaps, one light mark per side. Nothing remotely troublesome - nothing that's gonna get anywhere near this precious audio. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with one slight deviation. I've had a couple of copies before like this one - and let me tell you 'they are a revelation'. The audio is to die for - everything is there in the audio. Detail, depth, energy and a lovely quiet background. All the ingredients for a mind-blowing rendition. Give a cheaper non-1st copy a go if you like. But I can assure you - if you care about your audio - money would be far better invested here. This baby plays clean into all areas - those slow builds are all lovely and clean. I'm struggling to pick out much background at all. I'll do the usual caveat - maybe you'll pick out a few isolated crackles in a couple of spots per side. A couple of isolated minor ticks in 'HAIR CUT'.
Cover (Ex-) Truly very difficult to find this soft-card outer original cover looking anywhere near this smart. There is minimal wear front and rear - which is unusual. Edge wear is light for this title. The spine is in really good order with just light wear at the ends - all text perfectly legible. The interior is in excellent order - much much better than you typically find. That heavy internal booklet typically falls out - but on this example it has just about stayed in place. One staple section is secure - the other is coming loose  [so it is 50/50 in place]. The pages are all intact and have not been heavily thumbed. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A very impressive example which would be hard to equal let alone better.
Inner (Vg+) Light ageing. No splits.
