NOW, LET'S GO TO EXPLAIN ALL THESE INCREDIBLE DETAILS THAT MAKES THIS COPY ONE OF THE
EARLIEST STEREO COPY EVER MADE.

THE TRAIL-OFF

AS YOU WELL KNOW, VERY FIRST UK PRESSING SHOWS A WRITING ON TRAIL OFF.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE RAREST DETAILS TO FIND IN A FIRST PRESSING BECAUSE ONLY AN HANDFUL
OF COPIES HAS THIS INFAMOUS WRITING. I'M 50 YEARS OLDER AND I STARTED TO COLLECT RECORDS WHEN I WAS 14, SO
LONG TIME AGO, BUT SO FAR I'VE FOUND ONLY TWO COPIES WITH THIS WRITING, SO THIS ONE IS THE THIRD.
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE WHO'S GREATEST RARITY.
TO BE MORE PRECISE, VERY FIRST UK PRESSING SHOWS THE FOLLOWING INFAMOUS WRITING ON THE TRAIL-OFF SIDE TWO
"LET'S PEE ON THE NEXT WALL".
THIS WRITING IS CARVED ON TRAIL-OFF, PROBABLY WITH A GRAVER, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND WAS CARVED
ONLY ON THE VERY VERY FIRST PRESSING.
A MUST!

THE COVER.

THIS COPY HAS THE FIRST PRESSING UK COVER EVER MADE, IN PARTICULAR IT HAS "SLEEVE PRINTED AND MADE BY MACNEILL PRESS LTD,
LONDON, S.E.1" ON BACK COVER PLUS THE ULTRA-RARE "POLYDOR CREDIT" ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER.
I WISH TO SPECIFY THAT NOWADAYS IT'S ABSOLUTELY RARE TO FIND A MACNEILL COVER AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITIONS.
BESIDES THIS COPY SHOWS THE INCREDIBLE AND UNDOCUMENTED "INVISIBLE" CATALOGUE NUMBER, ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE
TO FIND AND PRESENTS ONLY IN THE FIRST FIRST PRESSING COPIES.
I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN YOU,
ORIGINAL FIRST "MACNEILL" PRESSING COVERS HAD AN "INVISIBLE" CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE FRONT COVER TOP LEFT HAND SIDE CORNER.
IF YOU CHECK CLOSELY THE FRONT COVER, INSIDE THE CLOUDS NEAR THE TOP OF THE SPINE AT THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER
THERE IS A CAMOUFLAGED NUMBER PRE-FACED BY TWO LETTERS.
THEY SEEM COMPUTER HIDDEN DIGITS AND LETTERS, THE CATALOGUE NUMBER "DL 33789" IS EMBEDDED INTO THE PRINT
LOCATING THE COVER BETWEEN 1971 AND 1974, THIS CATALOGUE NUMBER IS OFETN HARD TO SEE, IN PARTICULAR
IF THE COVER IS NOT IN GREAT CONDITIONS.
HOWEVER THIS COPY HAS A COVER IN EXCELLENT+++ OR BETTER CONDITIONS AND IF YOU CHECK CLOSELY YOU CAN FIND
THE HIDDEN CATALOGUE NUMBER.
A MUST!

INNER SLEEVE.

THIS COPY HAS THE "IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND" HEAD-HUNTERS INNER SLEEVE, USUALLY MISSING AND PRESENT ONLY

 VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

I'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF QUESTIONS REGARDING WHAT IN TRAIL OFF AND DETAILS ABOUT FIRST OR SECOND OR THIRD PRESSING ETC., WELL I'LL EXPLAIN YOU THE MAIN DIFFERENCES.
FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT A GENUINE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING HAS A1/B2 MATRIX ENDING, THAT'S THE POINT!
WHATEVER ELSE NUMBER MATRIX AFTER A1/B2 IS NOT THE VERY VERY FIRST PRESSING.
BESIDES VERY FIRST UK PRESSING  USUALLY SHOWS "MG 12888" CARVED (PRECISELLY HAND CARVED) ON SIDE 1.
THESE TWO DETAILS MUST BE PRESENT TO STATE A COPY IS A GENUINE FIRST UK PRESSING (PLUS OBVIOUSLY MCNEILL COVER AND HEAD HUNTERS INNER SLEEVE)

AFTER THESE TWO ESSENTIAL DETAILS, THERE ARE A LOTS OF VARIATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE DURING MY 36 YEARS OF RECORD COLLECTING I'VE SEEN COPIES WITH "MG 12 888" ON BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT "MG 12888" BUT WITH CORRECT MATRIX ENDING, ETC BUT THE RAREST VARIATION IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THE ONE WITH THE WRITING "LET'S PEE ON THE NEXT WALL".
IN MY LIFE I'VE SEEN ONLY OTHER TWICE THIS VARIATION COPY AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE NOWADAYS
THE ABOVE-SAID WRITING IS CARVED (PRECISELLY HAND VARVED) ON TRAIL-OFF SIDE TWO, AND BEING CONSIDERED VERY OFFENSIVE AT THE TIME, WAS MADE ONLY ON A VERY VERY TINY AMMOUNT OF COPIES, THAT'S THE REASON WHY THIS VARIATION OF A GENUINE FIRST UK PRESSING IS ABSOLUTELY THE RAREST ONE!

SOME EBAY MEMBERS ASKED ME ALSO ABOUT DIFFERENCE WITH ANOTHER VERY FAMOUS VARIATION THE ONE WITH "BILBO" ON TRAIL OFF, BUT
THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY BECAUSE THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. "BILBO" VARIATIONS REGARDING ESCLUSIVELY ALL THOSE
COPIES WITH A1/B3 MATRIX ENDING, SO WITH A CHANGE OF MATRIX VIRTUALLY A LATER MATRIX, THIS COPY IS THE VERY FIRST ONE WITH A1/B2 MATRIX ENDING.

TO CONCLUDE AND TO BE MORE PRECISE HERE IT IS WHAT IN TRAIL OFF OF THIS WONDERFULL UK FIRST PRESSING COPY OF "WHO'S NEXT"

SIDE 1
2408 102 A/1 (MACHINE STAMPED) PLUS "MG 12 888" (HAND CARVED)

SIDE 2
2408 102 B/2 (MACHINE STAMPED) PLUS "LET'S PEE ON THE NEXT WALL" (HAND CARVED)
