THE WHO - WHO'S NEXT
- CATALOGUE:2804 102
- MATRIX: 2408102 A-1 / B-2
THIS IS THE VERY SOUGHT AFTER FIRST PRESS WHO'S NEXT WITH THE MEGARARE HEADHUNTERS INNER SLEEVE. ONLY ISSUED WITH FIRST PRESSES, AND THEN NOT ALL OF THEM
THE LP IS IN A HIGH COLLECTIBLE CONDITION AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SLEEVE, WHICH IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. USUALLY VERY SHABBY DUE TO THE THIN CARD USED, AND SUFFERES BADLY FROM CREASING AND SHELF WEAR USUALLY.
THIS ONE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO CREASES TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE. EVEN THE USUAL LINES NEAR THE SPINE ARE NON EXISTANT. THIS IS A GREAT FRONT SURFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES REMARKABLY HAVE NO SHELF WEAR EITHER, AND THE SPINE FLAT AND CLEAN WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL LINES ACCROSS IT IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND ACURATELY DEPICTS HOW LITTLE THE ALBUM HAS BEEN OUTSIDE THE COVER. CERTAINLY REMOVAL FROM THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN VERY EXACT. THE REAR ESURFACE IS ALMOST AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, HOWEVER THERE IS JUST A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF COLOUR LOSS THE THE MATT BLACK SURFACE, AND THIS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE MIDDLE TOP TO THE RIGHT CORNER. VERY SMALL BUT THERE NON THE LESS.
THEREFORE THE SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
THE RARE HEADHUNTERS POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. ABSOLUTELY NO SPLITS WHAT SO EVER. AND THE SURFACE IS CREASE FREE. I HAVEN'T SEEN MANY OF THESE EVER, BUT THIS ONE IS BY FAR IN THE BEST CONDITION OF ALL OF THOSE THAT I HAVE COME ACCROSS. I WOULD SAY NEAR MINT IN FACT.
THE RECORD
THE LABELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. NO LOSS TO THE MATT BLACK SURFACE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THE SPIDER LINES ARE LIMITED TO HALF A DOZEN, INDICATING JUST HOW FEW TIMES THIS USUALLY MUCH PLAYED ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS MARK AND BLEMISH FREE. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW LIGHT NON SOUNDING WISPS TO BE SEEN. THE PROOF OF COURSE WILL BE IN THE PLAYING
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS TO SIDE ONE, THERE IS TOTAL SILENCE IN THE RUN IN WAX. THIS IS A GREAT SIGN OF THINGS TO COME. THE FIRST THING TO REPORT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WICH TELLS ME THAT THE LP HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO A TOO HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS.
IN FACT THE MUSIC IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE STEREO MIX IS EXCELLENT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER, NOR IS THERE ANY STATIC OR EVEN THE ODD LIGHT POP.
EACH LINKING GROOVE DISPLAYS THE SAME SILENCE AS THE RUN IN GROOVE, AND EACH TRACK CONFIRMS THAT THE SOUND IS 100% UNSPOILED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISE / CRACKLE.
THIS IS A GREAT ROCK ALBUM PROBABLY THE WHO'S BEST EFFORT, AND TO FIND THE FIRST PRESS IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION IS PRETTY SCARCE.
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL AS MINT MINUS, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WILL EVER NEED UPGRADING
A TRUE TOP GRADE COLLECTIBLE COPY
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
