ATTENTION THE WHO AND 1960s BEAT COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS!
HERE IS A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE WHO's 2ND ALBUM:"A QUICK ONE" FROM 1966. WHILST THE BAND'S DEBUT "MY GENERATION" IS A CLASSIC,BY THE TIME THIS ALBUM CAME OUT,THEY DEVELOPED THE MORE "DEEPER" AND MORE CONFIDENT SOUND WITH FAR MORE ORIGINAL SONGS THAN THE FIRST ALBUM!
A RARELY SEEN LP ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION DIRECT FROM THE ARCHIVE OF A VERY CAREFUL COLLECTOR WHO ONLY PLAYED THIS LP A HANDFUL OF TIMES ON HIGH QUALITY EQUIPMENT,RECORDED IT ON TAPE FOR MORE CONVENIENT LISTENING DUE TO BEING AWAY FROM HOME FOR MONTHS AT A TIME,FILED IT AWAY ON STURDY SHELVES AWAY FROM STRONG LIGHT AND HEAT FOR NEARLY 48 YEARS FOLLOWED BY MY RECENT ONE PLAY TO CHECK IT'S AMAZING SOUND QUALITY WHICH IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE EVEN BY MY HIGH STANDARDS!
THIS LP SOLD WELL IN THE UK (A RATHER POOR #67 IN THE USA BUT JUST ABOUT EVERY COPY WAS PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN USUALLY AT MOD PARTIES ON POOR EQUIPMENT.HARDLY ANYONE CONSIDERED LONG TERM INVESTMENT! YOU'LL WAIT YEARS TO FIND ONE IN AS AMAZING CONDITION AS THIS ONE DESPITE CLAIMS OF OTHER SELLERS COPIES THAT ARE OFTEN OVERGRADED OR ATTRACT DUBIOUS BIDDING! POLYDOR REACTION 593 002 WITH THE EARLIEST "ROUGH TEXTURED" EFFECT LABELS-LATER REPRINTS HAVING "SMOOTH" LABELS AS WITH A//2+B//2 MATRIXES.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" AND "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED! VERY THICK-100% FLAT VINYL. STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES-THAT STUNNING "JUST OFF THE PRESSES" LOOK WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT,WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT! I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! JUST TRY AND FIND ONE AS GOOD AS THIS SIMPLY FANTASTIC UPGRADER!
NO DISTORTION,SWISHES,CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.WARM MONO SOUND WITH LOTS OF BASS! THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER HAS A FEW CREASES,A LITTLE LAMINATION "STRETCHING"AT THE FRONT AND SOME RING WEAR.NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. NATURALLY IF YOU HAVE A SIMPLY STUNNING COVER BUT A LESS THAN MAGNIFICENT RECORD,THIS COULD BE A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO UPGRADE!
THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR,NO WRITING,TEARS OR STAINING! LOVELY LABELS! PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS!
A LOW REALISTIC £40 STARTING PRICE FOR A TRUE UPGRADER EXAMPLE THAT IS JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPROVE UPON,48 YEARS ON. PROBABLY YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET THIS LP IN SUCH STUNNING CONDITION SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!
I NEVER USE THE TERM MINT AS IT DOES NOT APPLY UNLESS IT IS SEALED,UNPLAYED SO BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE ON MY GRADINGS!
THERE HAS TO BE SPECIAL DELIVERY UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR FOR NON-UK. THERE HAVE BEEN INCREASES YET AGAIN IN THE UK AND AS SUCH I HAVE TO REFLECT THIS BUT AFTER MY SOLID PACKING,MOST CUSTOMERS PAY LESS THAN MY ACTUAL COSTS.THANKYOU!
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many ollectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
