Title : The Who - My Generation

 

Label & year : Original Brunswick LAT 8616 LP , UK Mono 1965 IMPOSSIBLY RARE 1st Press!!!

 

Matrix's : Side A : MG-10256-1B , Side B : MG-10257-1B (EARLIEST EVER!!!)

 

AN AWESOME EXAMPLE OF THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE CLASSIC DEBUT LP!!! AND NOT ONLY THAT, THIS HAS THE EARLIEST EVER 1B 1B MATRIXES!!! A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN SUCH AN AWESOME DAY OF RELEASE EXAMPLE!!! 

 

 The LP :

Labels :

Classic UK 1st Press ridged Brunswick labels!!! Both sides are FANTASTIC with NO real signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn't had much play over the years at all!!! AWESOME for a 52 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good+++!!!

Record : Visual -

 

Spectacular Original 1965 UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks AWESOME with NO nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever!!! The only blemishes are just a few totally non-sounding mild cosmetic paper scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines (only visible in strong angled light) and only a few ULTRA light incredibly feint hairlines mostly from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes interfere with play AT ALL!!! MAGNIFICENT for a record of this age and rarity!!! You'll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

 

Record : Audio -

 

Thankfully, it plays BRILLIANTLY with fantastic  mono blast and clarity!!! It really sounds great with NO hops, hops, sticks, or skips!!! Only (like pretty much all records) has low level static in places such as on the run in grooves and a small amount of ultra light ticks here and there on rare occasions, and a bit of mild crackle and pop in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections, but it doesn't overshadow the music at all. A hugely enjoyable listen - The music is TRULY loud and clear with that depth, warmth, and bass you can only get from a 1st Press!!!overall audiably as Very Good+!!! 

 

Sleeve :

 

Original UK 1965 1st press front laminated Robert Stace sleeve complete with original unsplit inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks BRILLIANT, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO writing, NO graffiti, NO really bad marks AT ALL, and still ultra strong and solid after all these years!!! This sleeve only has a few signs of light ageing such as just a small amount of ultra light creases and a mere hint of a record imprint, a couple of tiny nicks near the top of the spine, only a tiny sticker mark to the bottom right and some incredibly minor age dulling to the still bright unlaminated back (NOTHING drastic - absolutely NO coffee cup rings, ugly stains, grubbiness, writing OR graffiti whatsoever!!!), a touch of denting to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! I tend to bring it down by emphasizing the negatives, but this remains a truly fantastic sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as beautifully presentable as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and 100% readable. Must grade overall at the least as Very Good++

Summary : A BRILLIANT example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic true 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but simply IMPOSSIBLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS UTTERLY AWESOME AS THIS!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!
