This is a very rare The Who LP from the 1970 s. Especially still complete with its original shrinkwrap I have another rare collectible 1970 s The Who LP. So please see my other listings.
Sleeve: Superb As stated, it still comes with its original shrinkwrap which has been neatly opened at the sleeve opening area. This has preserved the sleeve remarkably well. There is just a very light or very minor thin strip of fading at the sleeve opening edge on both sides of the sleeve see photo . It is not too noticeable. Otherwise, next to no wear. The spine is in fantastic condition. EXCELLENT condition. Very close to being in Near Mint condition You would be hard pushed to find a better copy than this
Vinyl: There are a few light, mild, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. There is an extremely small light 1 cm hairline surface rub mark on Side 2. This hardly really notices. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, mild, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. They are mainly on the play-out dead wax areas. These can only be seen under a strong light. Overall, NEAR EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Very Good condition. There is a small 4 cm sticker stain on Side 1 s label see photo . The stain is in the form of a thin strip. It has also caused a very slight 1 cm tear at the outer area of Side 1 s label too. It is not too noticeable. Otherwise, next to no spindle wear. The original company paper sleeve is in Very Good condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear fading. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety it plays Very Good to Near Excellent overall, Excellent in some places. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle noticeable in some quieter places. There are about 4 mild or very mild clicks on the track Water . Obviously the quality of the recordings is not to the highest audio standard. However, as is the case with most TMOQ LP s, the quality is extremely good to excellent.

Please note that these prices include packaging costs too
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7 Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders 3-6 LPs . All parcels will be marked Fragile and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP s .
I consider my postage packaging costs to be very transparent very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between 0.80 to 1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
