HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' WEDNESDAY NIGHT AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE WEDNESDAY 12TH NOVEMBER!)!!!!

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Who called "The Who Sell Out" and is an ORIGINAL 1967 UK STEREO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Track label!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS THE WHO'S RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE TRACK LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - AND STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL AMAZING 'PSYCHEDELIC'  POSTER (WHICH IS 100% GENIUNE - AND NOT A RE-PRO!) & 'FREE PSYCHEDELIC POSTER INSIDE' COVER STICKER!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  BACK IN 1967 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, ONLY THE FIRST 500 STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - EVER CAME WITH A POSTER, AND MAKE THIS THE RAREST WHO LP EVER MADE!!!!  JUST HOW MANY OF THE ORIGINAL 500 STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS (WITH POSTER!) STILL EXIST TODAY IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW FOR SURE - THOUGH IT IS CERTAIN TO BE VERY VERY FEW INDEED!!!!  MOST OF THE POSTERS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST OR USED OVER THE YEARS - NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL, THAT BARELY ANY OF THE ORIGINAL 500 STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS WHICH DID ORIGINALLY COME WITH A POSTER - CAN POSSIBLY EXIST WITH THEIR ORIGINAL POSTER TODAY!!!!  

BUT THERE IS 1 EVEN MORE IMPORTANT REASON THIS LP IS THE RAREST VERSION OF THIS LP EVER MADE (WITH POSTER!)!!!!  AND THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE STEREO!!!!  THIS LP WAS THE FIRST LP ON THE TRACK LABEL TO EVER BE MADE AVAILABLE IN STEREO - AND BACK IN 1967 DEMAND FOR STEREOs WAS ABSOLUTELY TINY!!!!  MOST SHOPS ONLY HAD STEREO AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY - AND 99% OF 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE SOLD IN COMMON MONO!!!!  AS A RESULT - FINDING A 100% GENIUNE UK 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IN MEGA RARE STEREO IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!!!  AND PEOPLE MIGHT SAY - "WELL WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH THE POSTER?"  "SURELY AS BOTH 500 POSTERS CAME WITH MONOs & 500 POSTERS CAME WITH STEREOs - BOTH WOULD BE EQUALLY AS RARE?"  WELL SADLY THE ANSWER IS NO!!!!  JUST LOOKING AT THE AUCTION HISTORY FOR THIS LP OVER THE YEARS (WITH POSTERS) SHOWS YOU THAT 80% OF COPIES (WITH POSTERS) HAVE BEEN SOLD IN MONO LPs - WITH BARELY ANY IN STEREO AT ALL!!!!  AND THE REASON WHY?  BECAUSE SO MANY OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF STEREO LPs AND PUT INTO MONO LPs BY PEOPLE WHO WRONGLY THOUGHT THAT THIS LP WAS 'RARER' IN MONO (AND SOUGHT TO INCREASE THE VALUE)!!!!  WHEN ACTUALLY NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!!!!  AS I CLEARLY MENTIONED ABOVE - THIS LP WAS RELEASED AT A TIME WHEN MONOs COMPLETELY RULED THE UK RECORD BUYING MARKET - WITH MONO SALES OUTSTRIPPING STEREOs BY 20 TO 1.  AND AS THIS LP WAS DELETED IN LATE 1968 (BEFORE THE END OF MONO PRODUCTION IN THE UK) - IT IS A STONE COLD FACT, THAT EVEN INCLUDING THE LATER COPIES OF THIS LP IN 1968 - STEREOs ONLY ACCOUNTED FOR AROUND 20% OF ALL 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP!!!!  AND THIS IS SIMPLY BECAUSE, UNLIKE BEATLES LPs (FOR EXAMPLE) WHO HAD THEIR LPs CONTINUOUSLY RE-PRESSED (MAKING LATER BEATLES STEREOs QUITE COMMON) - THIS LP WAS DELETED QUITE QUICKLY, AND NOT RE-ISSUED UNTIL MANY YEARS LATER!!!!  ONLY NOW - ARE PEOPLE STARTING TO REALISE JUST HOW HARD IT REALLY IS TO FIND A STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH ITS ORIGINAL POSTER, AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WITH THEIR ORIGINAL POSTER - ARE FAR FAR MORE SOUGHT AFTER THAN THEIR MONO COUNTERPARTS - BECAUSE BARELY ANY EXIST TODAY!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT FINDING A UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING STILL CONTAINING ITS ORIGINAL POSTER - IS THE RAREST VERSION OF THIS LP EVER MADE, AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - WITH A STUNNING RECORD, MINT 'FREE PSYCHEDELIC POSTER INSIDE' COVER STICKER, BRILLIANT COVER, AND A VERY DECENT POSTER INDEED!!!!  AND THE RECORD CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL - AND PLAYS WITH STUNNING SOUND QUALITY!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!   I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASSURE ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER THAT EVERY PART OF THIS LP IS 100% GENIUNE AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL FROM THE 'DAY OF RELEASE'!!!!  AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS - THAT NO PART OF THE THIS LP HAS BEEN 'SWOPPED' OR 'CHANGED' IN ANY WAY!!!!  AND DESPITE THE VARIOUS 'COPIES' AND 'RE-PRODUCTIONS' OF THE POSTER, THE ONE IDENTIFYING FACTOR THAT SO FAR NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO 'COPY' IS THAT THIS 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESS POSTER HAS A 'LIGHTLY TEXTURED' MATT BACK AND A SMOOTH 'GLOSSY' FRONT - WHICH ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEES THE POSTER AS A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESSING, AND NOT A COPY!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT EVERY PART OF THIS LP IS 100% GENIUNE IN EVERY WAY, IS ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL FROM THE 'DAY OF RELEASE', IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION, AND EASILY THE RAREST WHO LP EVER MADE!!!!

ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL TO MENTION - IS THAT ALL ORIGINAL 'DAY OF RELEASE' STEREO 1ST PRESS COVERS HAVE THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'PATENTS PENDING' TEXT ON THE COVER BACK (ALL LATER ONES NEVER DID!)!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1967 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS TRACK LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'PSYCHEDELIC' POSTER, AND 1ST PRESS 'E.J.DAY' FULLY LAMINATED 'STICKERED' STEREO 'PATENTS PENDING' COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Track UK 1st Pressing from 1967 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is 613 002 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Track Label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK STEREO 1st Pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 1 ULTRA light scuffline trace (only visible under EXTREME light ONLY!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'PSYCHEDELIC' POSTER IS IN VERY DECENT ORDER INDEED - AND STILL LOOKS BRILLIANT!!!!  And as you can see from my pictures - it still looks BRILLIANT and is EXACTLY as pictured!!!!  However the one previous owner did hang it on a wall at some point, and there are 3 or 4 very VERY well done repairs to the corners on the reverse of the cover.  However there is NO tape AT ALL and these are very VERY well done indeed.  There are also a couple of VERY small bleed over marks on the back (from a couple of TINY touching in traces), and a few brown 'age spots'. However ALL of these are on the BACK of the poster - and who looks at the back of the poster anyway?  AND THE FRONT OF THE POSTER LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT - AND IS EXACTLY AS PICTURED!!!!  EVEN THE FACTORY CREASES ON THE POSTER ARE 100% SOLID AND COMPLETELY UNSPLIT!!!!  THIS IS CERTAINLY STILL A VERY DECENT POSTER INDEED (AS MY PICTURES CLEARLY SHOW!) AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN AS A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESS POSTER NOW!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'E.J.Day' FULLY Laminated 'Stickered' STEREO 'Patents Pending' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  And the 'Free Psychedelic Poster Inside' Sticker - is in absolutely STUNNING condition - and has NEVER been touched AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS POSTER & STICKER!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
