The WHO
Who’s Next
Excellent aural delivery with very little to fault .
Black TRACK label format.
1971 Original release !!!
NOT a reissue and one of their very best album releases.
2408102 De Luxe with Double matrix MG 12888 to confirm THE very first pressing!!
A1 / B2 Additional stampers 1 / 1 / 3
1 / 1 / 2
THE very first issue single unlaminated , non flip back sleeve printed by MacNeill Press. This shows a true ,genuine, first issue/earliest sleeve . Hardly any feathering to opening edge!! NO rips. NO tears. NO graffiti of any kind!!! NO stickers just some spinal/edge wear visible. Outer faces are in wonderful condition with just a light crease visible. Very near impossible to locate like, this owing to the obvious fragility of the sleeve and the unlaminated surfaces. However this album cover is in very good +/excellent- condition and must be the better than most !!!
Rare Head hunters sleeve
Becoming extremely difficult to locate nowadays and a treasure to add to a serious vinyl collection . A mega scarce collectors’ item on offer here. Slight discoloration on top edge of one face otherwise nothing to report. Excellent++ condition . Advertises all the other Atlantic artists of that era and is a highly sought after collectors’ item. Normally very elusive , demanding a high priced bid to win this piece of vinyl history. No graffiti. NO seam splits ! ! NO tears. Black, white and grey inks project in sensational style with little fading detected. Awesome collector’s item!!
Vinyl
Surfaces appear glass like and hardly played ! ! Thicker pressing than later issues and a pleasure to hold and to view . Highly polished surfaces and virtually unmarked . Only two marks/hairlines visible under ordinary light on one side . A truly remarkable exhibit .
Labels
Black Track format. First issue as later label format was lighter, almost greyish in coloration. An extremely light spindle trace only observed from these black Track labels!!! NO mottling. NO peeling! No rips! No tears! No graffiti ! NO fading. Silver text projects prominently against the jet black of the label. Soft textured with NO damage to report. Beautiful examples of this earliest pressing!
Audio
EXCELLENT! Remarkable aural delivery conveying a mellow warmth with that extra loud cut punch!! Piano keys and guitar strings are delivered through excellent audio channels. Slight static occasional/at start on opening grooves but does little to affect aural presentation. Magnificent layered effect to which the individual instrumentation can be singled out, A R P Synthesiser, bass, brass, VCS 3 Organ, percussion and drums give a sensational effect. Awesome stereophonic delivery.
One of the best examples of this monumental rock classic!! Impossible to locate in this hardly played condition , complete with the rarest and most highly collectable inner Head hunters sleeve !!! All up for grabs…Good luck if you decide to bid..
