Description

The Who Live at Leeds - Classic Records Test Pressing 4LP 45 RPM Edition SEALED and MINT. This is number 8 of only 20 copies ever made. Classic planned on releasing The Who catalogue on single-sided, 45 RPM sets but it didn't happen, making this one of the rarest editions of this LP on the planet. 
In the audiophile world, common wisdom is that 45 rpm pressings are as close as you can get to the master tape. I haven't heard any master tapes, but I do have a lot of 45 rpm reissues and, YEAH, they sound phenomenal. And test pressings are also commonly considered to be MUCH closer to the master tape than standard releases. This release is probably as close as you'll ever get to the master tape!   And for what it's worth, in my opinion, Leeds is simply the greatest live album ever. Townshend is a genius composer, of course, but I'd also argue this is the best evidence that he's the greatest rhythm guitarist in rock history. 
This is a MUST HAVE for any Who fans!
Also, I'll be offering other incredibly rare test pressings in the coming weeks (Led Zep, Santana, Miles Davis, Dylan and more), so please keep an eye on my auctions.
About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm not going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment. 


Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (including Buy-It-Now, high quality titles at bargain prices), and good luck! 


PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
