IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so I would like to pass on these records to other people to share the enjoyment that I have had with the collection over the last 50 years.
For auction here is an original UK stereo copy of The Who's 2nd LP 'A Quick One' issued in 1971 on the Track label 2408 102. The runout numbers on the A  side are:- 2408102 A//1 1 2 MG 12888 and 2408192 B//2?420 1 2 2 7 on the B side. I think that this is their best ever LP with no bum tracks. They are all great (although some are greater than others!) This copy has the 'pinched' spine at either end and is printed by Macneill Press Ltd. It seems to match this copy in Discogs :- https://www.discogs.com/The-Who-Whos-Next/release/7633337 
The cover is in an OK condition. There are several laminate creases and some edge and spine wear. There is some very slight  ring wear on the back. As can be seen there are NO stickers, NO tears and no writing. 
The inner sleeve is the very collectible Headhunters version which, according to Discogs, came with very few copies. It's in a very nice condition with no tears but there are some creases.
Looking at the vinyl on both sides it looks marked and there are scratch marks visible. The labels are completely clean being free of stickers and writing. I can see several spindle marks but the spindle holes are quite acceptable.
Tracks:- Side 1 Baba O'Riley Bargain Love Ain't For Keeping Song Is Over
Side 2 Getting In Tune Going Mobile Behind Blue Eyes Won't Get Fooled Again.
I have played the vinyl through on both sides. There is some audible background crackle coming through at varying levels which mostly gets drowned-out by the music. There are some scratches but amazingly they don't cause too many problems. I have included a picture highlighting one scratch which goes across several tracks on side 2 It plays a lot better than it looks. It's look is why I have graded it as VG.
Audibly the music comes through very clearly and you should not be disappointed by the reproduction from that point of view.  Baba O'Riley belts out at the beginning of side 1 and does not disappoint closely followed by 'Bargain' (Fans of CSI will know these two songs along with Won't Get Fooled Again). We then slip back into the quieter Love Ain't For Keeping before bursting into John's piece de resistance 'My Wife' and then mellowing back to 'Song Is Over'. Side 2 starts off with three more mellow tunes partly giving a nod to Pete's spiritualistic side before bursting into the classic 'Won't Get Fooled Again' thundering along at 8 minutes 31 seconds of pure power pop.
For playback I use an Ortofon cartridge on a Technics SL1210MK2 through a Denon DRA 375RD amplifier to Wharfdale 3200 speakers.
I have started this off at £4.99 which is a fair start in my opinion.

Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do add + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.

RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
