The Who ?"Direct Hits" Track Record ? 613 006
Mono Vinyl Compilation LP, released in 1968.
The vinyl sheen has to be sen to be believed. There are no scuffs, scratches, or marks and overall is in superb condition. The sleeve shows minimal signs of wear apart from some minor ring marks (see photo's) and is also in great shape.

This has to be one of the finest condition albums in my private collection which sadly I am having to reduce drastically due to downsizing.

"Direct Hits" is the Who's first UK compilation album and their fourth UK LP release . It collects singles, B-sides, and album tracks originally recorded for Reaction Records and Track Records between 1966 and 1968. Original UK issues of this album were released in both stereo and mono versions. The album was not a strong seller and was deleted in the early 1970s.
Earlier Who recordings from 1965, such as "My Generation", were released in the UK by Brunswick Records and were not available for this release due to licensing issues. This limitation makes the collection rather unrepresentative of The Who's work up to 1968.
"Direct Hits" shares a few songs with the earlier U.S. compilation album "Magic Bus: The Who on Tour", but is otherwise unrelated to that release. Strangely, it does not include the song "Magic Bus", which had reached #26 on the U.K. singles chart during the summer of 1968. Until the early 1980s this was the only album to include a few Who rarities such as "In the City", "Dogs", and The Rolling Stones' song "The Last Time."

Don't miss out.........they don't come as good as this too often!
