Over the next few weeks I will be offering a wonderful selection of rare mostly UK late 50's & 60's 1st pressing LP's and EP's. Obtained from and English gentleman who originally lived in Manchester and saw many of the great acts of the day in their prime. His enthusiasm and knowledge of this period of music and the amount of artists he saw was quite staggering and included Rolling Stones, Beatles, Eric Burdon & Animals, Manfred Mann, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Small Faces, Kinks, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Roy Orbison, Sam Cooke, this list went on and on!  A fastidious collector his vinyl overall has been kept in fantastic condition especially considering some of the items are over 50 years old!  Many of the items would have been bought within weeks of their original release dates. We offer combined postage on all items purchased. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to list his 45's in the near future. Over 300 wonderful items from the same period.

Album review: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone. At the time of its release, it also had the most ferociously powerful guitars and drums yet captured on a rock record. Pete Townshend's exhilarating chord crunches and guitar distortions threaten to leap off the grooves on "My Generation" and "Out in the Street"; Keith Moon attacks the drums with a lightning, ruthless finesse throughout. Some "Maximum R&B" influence lingered in the two James Brown covers, but much of Townshend's original material fused Beatlesque hooks and power chords with anthemic mod lyrics, with "The Good's Gone," "Much Too Much," "La La La Lies," and especially "The Kids Are Alright" being highlights. "A Legal Matter" hinted at more ambitious lyrical concerns, and "The Ox" was instrumental mayhem that pushed the envelope of 1965 amplification with its guitar feedback and nonstop crashing drum rolls. While the execution was sometimes crude, and the songwriting not as sophisticated as it would shortly become, the Who never surpassed the pure energy level of this record.  

Tracks: Out in the street/ I don't mind/ The good's gone/ La-la-la-lies/ Much to much/ My generation/ The kids are alright/ Please please please/ It's not true/ I'm a man/ A legal matter/ The ox.

Record shows some sign of spindle marks on labels. There are a few light scuff marks over the vinyl. Plays beautifully, a revelation on how powerful this album must have been in the day,  and I have graded conservatively at Excellent condition. Cover has only very light ring wear and light marks on back. There are no tears or seams splits evident anywhere on the cover. Cover is in Excellent condition.  

We offer combined postage for multiple purchases. All records are sealed securely in a plastic sleeve and housed in a stiff cardboard mailer which is then wrapped in paper and sealed around edges with masking tape.
