WHO LIVE AT LEEDS - CLASSIC RECORDS OUT OF PRINT 150 GRAM LIMITED EDITION WITH ORIGINAL BROWN PAPER BAG PACKAGING -
"The best live rock album ever made." – The New York Times, 1970
That line just about sums up the universal opinion of the first official live recording release by The Who. After repeated failed attempts on their '69-'70 UK Tommy tour, the hall on the campus of Leeds University was intentionally scheduled for the main purpose of recording a live album. The results, although only six selections from a much longer performance were used, were a triumph. Riding the crest of the Tommy album and their monumental appearance at the Woodstock Festival, the original quartet of Townshend, Daltrey, Entwhistle and Moon deliver a perfect mix. This Classic Records reissue includes all of the original artwork and packaging. Cut from the original two-track master tapes at Bernie Grundman Mastering by Chris Bellman on Classic's all-tube cutting system.
TOMMY CLASSIC RECORDS MASTERPIECE
The Who's defining, breakthrough concept album — a full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind boy that launched the band to international superstardom — originally was released in May 1969. The Who were at a career crossroads, known mainly as a singles band, but this project launched them as a serious ‘albums band' and it has now sold more than 20 million copies as well as regularly turning up in lists of the most influential albums of all time.
Originally banned by the BBC and by some U.S. radio stations, the underlying child abuse and molestation theme in the tale of the "deaf, dumb and blind" Tommy Walker was a startling, darker side to the former mod-rockers from Shepherds Bush. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard chart. Townshend proved to himself and the world he could still attempt such libretto and still rock. It spawned such Who staples as "Pinball Wizard," "The Acid Queen," "I'm Free" and "We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me, Feel Me."

QUADROPHENIA - CLASSIC RECORDS RARE HEAVY VINYL 150 GRAM PRESSING TREMENDOUSLY RARE AND LIMITED PRESSING
After the worldwide success of Tommy, Pete Townshend decided to take a second stab at "rock opera" and 1973's Quadrophenia was the result. Its premise is rooted in a teenage perspective in 1964-'65, and the friction between "mods and rockers" in the London and Brighton regions of the UK. The four-way split personality of the central figure "Jimmy" has been admitted by Townshend as also being based on the distinct personalities of the four band members. The legendary Glyn Johns' production is both powerful and stunning with the writing and arrangements, featuring maybe the most tasteful use of both sound effects and synthesizers in rock recording, brilliant. This LP was mastered and cut from the original ¼" analog master tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering using Classic's all-tube analog cutting system. Gatefold artwork including tipped-in 44-page booklet are given the usual Classic authenticity treatment down to the paper stock being original. Track Listings 1. I Am The Sea 2. The Real Me 3.

THE WHO - WHO ARE YOU 140 GRAM LIMITED EDITION CLASSIC RECORDS LP
Sadly burdened with the trivia of being the last studio recording to feature drummer Keith Moon and thus closing the chapter on the band's original line-up, this 1978 release was also a major progression, not unlike what The Beatles and The Beach Boys undertook as they matured from their simple, rudimentary but still great early years.
In the three years since the release of Who By The Numbers, The Who foursome had undertaken solo projects and other individual interests. Finally reuniting after such an unusually long hiatus, they recorded Who Are You between late 1977 and early '78, in a variety of London-area studios. Without a doubt, everyone in the world would have welcomed recycled Who akin to their first decade of hits. But simple, catchy rock riffs were to be superceded in more complex subjects and daring arrangements. Pete Townshend's observations of moving on and saying farewell (Sister Disco), the creative process (Guitar and Pen), FM radio and its banal recycled music (Music Must Change) and battles with alcohol (Who Are You) are some of his most poignant writings. Bassist John Entwistle contributes three songs, the most in any one Who album. 905, Had Enough and Trick Of The Light reflect some of his finest, often-overlooked, work.
The album peaked at No. 2 on the Pop chart in the U.S., most likely prevented from going No. 1 by to the Grease soundtrack. The lone single released, the title song Who Are You would become a concert staple, often expanded into a jam for Townshend's guitaristics, and then be licensed out in 2000 for the opening theme to the hit television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigations.
This venerable Classic was re-mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood from the original analog master tapes provided by The Who.
This may be the definitive version of this recording on LP.

THE WHO'S NEXT - 150 GRAM CLASSIC RECORDS PRESSING.
At the beginning of the 70s, the impact of Tommy weighed heavily on Pete Townshend's shoulders. How on earth would he and
the Who top such a successful and important album?
The guitarist-songwriter felt he had to take his music and its conceptual strains one step further. The guitarist-
songwriter felt he had to take his music and its conceptual strains one step further. He began writing a futuristic fable
that would transcend itself beyond the usual
conventions of modern music.
Intended to be a film, a play, a concert, a mega multimedia and cerebral experience – Townshend called his new project
Lifehouse. And although Lifehouse would stay frozen
on the blocks for another 30 years, its seeds sprouted
the Who's most cohesive and consistent effort, Who's
Next. How Townshend's ambitious follow-up ended up as
Who's Next isn't easy to discern.
After several false starts and a break with Who manager/mentor, Kit Lambert, the record was eventually rescued and shaped by producer/engineer, Glyn Johns. Much of Townshend's
vision was contained within his extensive demos --
bits and pieces of a loosely constructed storyline set
against experimental melodies and basic backbeats.
The album's opening track, "Baba O'Riley,"
was originally an elongated cycle of synthesizer loops. What it became was an anthem, highlighted by a tumultuous build, Dave Arbus' rambling violin and Roger Daltrey's acclamation of a
"Teenage Wasteland." The thunder is sustained by the contagious "Bargain" now, like so much of the Who's music, a
commercial jingle. "Love Ain't For Keeping" chugs away
against a fierce acoustic rhythm while John Entwistle's sole contribution of "My Wife" remains one of his most
electrifying songs. "This Song Is Over" features Nicky
Hopkins' incomparable piano work and ends with a chorus pulled from "Pure And Easy," the central number of Lifehouse that
failed to make the final cut, but would resurface three
years later on the Odds And Sods compilation.
The theme is maintained on "Getting In Tune,"
reintroduced during the Who's most recent
tour, and "Going Mobile," a track with Townshend on lead vocals that recounts a couple of Lifehouse's characters cruising
the streets in a Cadillac. It's the album's two singles that set up the grand finale. "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" are adrenaline-filled powder kegs that capture the Who in
their most primal state. Keith Moon's drumming is as
wild as ever, yet enduringly steady. Entwistle's
sturdy bass and Townshend's barking guitar rise and
shift as Daltrey's signature scream radiates with
emotion and authority during the climax.
This is arguably one of the Who's greatest triumphs ever put on record. And indisputably one of the most definitive
moments in all of rock and roll. -
Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman mastering
from the original two track 1/4" analog master
tapes, cut on the Classic "All Tube" cutting system, and pressed on Classic's proprietary 200g Quiex Super Vinyl Profile.
This release also features original Track labels and artwork.
Arguably one of Rock's greatest recordings -

1. Baba O'Riley
2. Bargain
3. Love Ain't For Keeping
4. My Wife
5. Song Is Over
6. Getting In Tune
7. Going Mobile
8. Behind Blue Eyes
9. Won't Get Fooled Again
A QUICK ONE - CLASSIC RECORDS ORIGINAL 150 GRAM ISSUE WITH THE OMPLETE SEAL
The group's second album is a less impressive outing than their debut, primarily because, at the urging of their managers, all four members penned original material (though Pete Townshend wrote more than anyone else). The pure adrenaline of My Generation also subsided somewhat as the band began to grapple with more complex melodic and lyrical themes, especially on the erratic mini-opera, 'A Quick One While He's Away.' Still, there's some great madness on Keith Moon's instrumental 'Cobwebs and Strange,' and Townshend delivered some solid mop pop with 'Run Run Run' and 'So Sad About Us.' John Entwistle was also revealed to be a writer of considerable talent (and a morbid bent) on 'Whisky Man' and 'Boris the Spider.'" – All Music Guide
Track Listings 1. Run Run Run 2. Boris The Spider 3. I Need You 4. Whiskey Man 5. Heat Wave 6. Cobwebes And Strange 7. Don't Look Away 8. See My Way 9. So Sad About Us 10. A Quick One, While He's Away
DIRECT HITS - ORIGINAL MONO PRESSING 150 GRAM CLASSIC RECORDS
Originally released in 1968 by fledgling UK indie label Track Records for the European market only, this compilation of five single sides plus various album cuts became an instant hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Utilizing the original monaural mixes throughout, Classic's recreated one of the most sought after collector's items in classic rock. Rare mono masters of hits such as "I Can See For Miles," "Substitute," "Happy Jack," "I'm A Boy" and "Pictures of Lily" never sounded so good. Cut from the original full-track Mono takes on Classic's all-tube Mono cutting system.
