The Who SELL OUT 1967 UK LP 1st Press Track STEREO MINT AUDIO No Poster

	£		333
	$		441

I have come across a collection of records that defy time.

They belonged to a collector who was buying in the mid to late 60's through the 70's and 80's

However his family have said that he didn't own a record player until the mid 80's.

Very strange I know, but what it means is that the early records have in most cases never been played or at the most one play.

Naturally people's tastes in music change and that's why the 80's albums have had more play than the 60's

There are some incredible records in this collection

I aim to release one per day and will list them at 8pm UK time so that they don't get confused with my other listings

I will also be playing each record and recording . My very very careful test play will go undetected however

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO BEFORE DECIDING IF THIS IS FOR YOU.I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS LP PERFORMS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED ON A TOP HI-FI SYSTEM WITH A VERY CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WAS UNWORN AS WELL

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH , AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT 

CLEAR AND CRISP VOCALS, THIS DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.

THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS  OR POPS EITHER.

ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THE RECORD PLAY WITH A LOUD CLARITY THAT ONLY FIRST PRESSES CAN GENERATE AND THIS ALBUM WILL NOT DISAPPOINT

IF I HAVE TO BE VERY PICKY, THEN I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES. 

STILL DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

FOR ME THIS ALBUM PERFORMS AT A MINT  GRADE
