 1ST PRESS RED STAMP COVER / BLACK INSIDE PRINT

MATRIX 2406 001 A//1 - B//1

The UK Record Collector article about The Who Live At Leeds  correctly states that the 1st issue sleeve was issued in either black,red or blue. However all colour variations for this sleeve had black printing details on the inside of the sleeve and this the red front/black inside print is by far the hardest to find.

Also genuine A//1  B//1  first pressings are pressed on much thicker vinyl, with a darker blue print used for the label text. Soon after release Polydor/ Track changed the sleeve to have the inside print colour match whatever was used on the outside. 

‘black print used on the very first records’ is something cooked up by SOME sellers to gain higher prices with incorrect information.

1ST STAMPERS AND PARTS FOR THE BEST SOUND

1ST STAMPER AND MOTHERS - BEST SOUND FROM ORIGINAL PARTS - 

NOT THE RE-RELEASE 

T LABEL STATES "CRACKLING NOISES OK. DO NOT CORRECT" THIS IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A MIKE CABLE LOOSE DURING THE RECORDING AND THIS CAUSED SOME CLICKS THROUGHOUT THE RECORDING. IT WAS DECIDED TO LEAVE THEM IN FOR AUTHENTICITY.

How I Grade Condition Of Discs

Mint

This means I have owned it from new or purchased from a distributors warehouse, basically it means absolutely new shape, never been played or out of its dust cover. In the case of LP's, a North American album will have to be factory sealed (anyone can reseal an album!) Take Note: European and Japaneses albums were never shrink wrapped!

Note: Being mint does not guarantee it's free of pops and clicks, many pressings especially from the US were made with very poor vinyl and in a hurry which means often there are imperfections in the pressing. As a former importer, we were often given back brand new albums due to clicks heard in the playback.

Mint Minus - No such thing, it's either mint or not.

Excellent - A disc is super clean, with no visible marks

 Excellent Plus, means it's probably mint but can't be proven by me.

Excellent minus, is a disc that is excellent except it may have some markings that do not show up in the playing

VG - A disc that is STILL in good shape, WILL have some scuffs or scratches, not in excellent shape but well worth owning. VG + and ++,a disc that is that much better than VG.

VG minus, just a smidgen below VG

Good - A disc that can be played, has obvious ware but is worth owning, a DJ copy of a rare early Motown for instance or a rare Doo-Wop or Northern Soul which could still be worth a fortune, Good Minus & Good Plus is a step above or below Good. In most cases I will not offer a disc in this condition unless it's rare and hard to find.

LABELS

Labels do not alter the grading of vinyl; many records are Excellent, looked after by the previous owner but still have their initials or markings on the label. A DJ copy will often have markings to show which side to be plugged, or the length of the intro. Many labels and covers in the US have been punched, that was done by the record company to show the disc was deleted and shipped out to mass retailers to sell cheap and could not be returned for a credit, this does not impede the value, many records eg Swan and VJ Beatles were done like that, also many promo lp’s were punched or slit to show they were provided as promotion and not charged to the client and no royalties paid to the artist
