THE WHO   -    'The Who By Numbers'      LP     UK      1975        (cat#   Polydor (De Luxe)  2490 129)

Early pressing with numbered textured sleeve.

Matrix numbers:  2490129  A//1  ML   /   2490129  B//2  ML

CONDITION:        I strive to provide an accurate and honest appraisal of condition.  It’s in my best interests to do so.  I WANT YOU TO COME BACK!    All records are checked in good light and play tested at a loud volume (unless described as sealed, brand new or stated otherwise).       STRICT   U.K. MAGAZINE  'RECORD COLLECTOR'  GRADING SYSTEM USED.  See below for the full definitions as provided by Record Collector magazine. 

SUPERB PLAYING CONDITION!   Record is as close to MINT as is possible for a previously owned record to be!    Previous owner played it just the once to record onto cassette.   I have only played it through once to test.   Record has been extremely well looked after.   Just a very occasional (hardly any), very light background pop.   Quiet parts sound clear with virtual silence in between tracks.    HARD TO FIND IN THIS PLAYING CONDITION.      Buyer will not be disappointed.   NO crackle,   NO distortion,   NO repetitive pops/clicks,   NO jumps,   NO sticking.    STUNNING.

Visually the vinyl is in NrMINT condition.   Just a light surface scuff mark on the first track on side2.   Does not have any impact on play.   Vinyl looks nice and clean and retains its original sheen.   Looks and plays virtually as good as new! 

Labels are MINT.   NO obviously visible spindle marks.    NO writing.   NO tears.   NO stickers.

Sleeve is NrMINT.    It is as close to MINT as is possible for a used record to be!    Just the tiniest bit of corner wear to the bottom right hand corner stops me from grading as full MINT.    NO edge wear.     Front and back still lovely and clean.  Spine is perfect with all text clearly readable.   Opening edge looks very straight.     NO seam splits.  NO creases.   NO tears.   NO writing.  NO stickers.

Record has been incredibly well cared for.   One of the best examples of this album I have ever seen.   Virtually like going back to 1975 and buying a brand new one!

I am intending to list more superb condition 70s LPs from the same collection over the forthcoming months – stay tuned!

Record Collector Magazine Grading System  - VINYL

MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint

EXCELLENT (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG) The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and or deface

POOR (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

BAD (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler
