THE WHO

My Generation

Original UK Mono LP released on Brunswick Records in 1965. Front-laminated sleeve.

MG-10256-1B   /   MG-10257-2B

An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone. At the time of its release, it also had the most ferociously powerful guitars and drums yet captured on a rock record. Pete Townshend's exhilarating chord crunches and guitar distortions threaten to leap off the grooves on "My Generation" and "Out in the Street"; Keith Moon attacks the drums with a lightning, ruthless finesse throughout. Some "Maximum R&B" influence lingered in the two James Brown covers, but much of Townshend's original material fused Beatlesque hooks and power chords with anthemic mod lyrics, with "The Good's Gone," "Much Too Much," and "La La La Lies," being highlights. "A Legal Matter" hinted at more ambitious lyrical concerns, and "The Ox" was instrumental mayhem that pushed the envelope of 1965 amplification with its guitar feedback and non-stop crashing drum rolls.

While the execution was sometimes crude, and the songwriting not as sophisticated as it would shortly become, the Who never surpassed the pure energy level of this record.

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity!!! Some light marks and a few scuffs that don't affect play. Overall very shiny and bright. Some crackle in the quiet bits but NO skips, jumps or pops. A lovely copy.

Sleeve :

Original UK 1st press 1965 Mono front laminated "Robert Stace" sleeve complete with original “patents applied for" inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO writing, NO graffiti, NO seam splits, NO really bad marks AT ALL, and still ultra strong and solid after all these years!!! This sleeve only has a few signs of usual aging on the front such as just a small amount of ultra light creases.

 the white unlaminated back has some ringwear and a bit of grubbing from fingermarks at the seam opening but otherwise is clean and unblemished no writing, graffiti or anything like that at all!!!), a touch of denting to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!!

Summary : A truly FANTASTIC example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic true day-of-release 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition. Bid now!!!
