Description
The Who Tommy - Classic Records 200gm SEALED and MINT. But wait, there's more: This pressing is guaranteed to come from the FIRST STAMPER! I pre-ordered this copy from The Music.Com (Classic Records' distribution arm at the time) which guaranteed that this copy was one of the first 75 pressed. That puts this record as close as you're likely to get to the master tape (and probably second only to 45 RPM test pressings in that respect).
The LP comes with the First Stamper Card guaranteeing its authenticity. I will also include a copy of my email purchase confirmation from September 2006 for additional provenance. This is a must have for Who fans!
Now’s your chance to get this out of print collectible at a fair market price!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS REISSUE
Here's a quote from Michael Fremer's review on Analogue Planet (he gave this reissue a 10/10 for Music/Sound at the time):
"Let’s get one thing straight here first. No reissue label and mean none goes to the trouble Classic does to get the packaging right. Get your hands on this Tommy reissue and compare it to the original UK Track edition and you will see that Classic has gone the extra 3000 miles to give you as close a facsimile of the original British pressing as is humanely possible.
That means the triple gatefold outer jacket is shiny-laminated while the inner paper showing the sconces (or whatever you call the wall hanging lights) is a soft muted textured paper. If I knew more about paper I could describe it better but I don’t. Getting the reissue correct means that the two LPs slide into the third pane of the jacket one LP from either side, and never the twain shall meet. What’s more, the paper of that particular pane has to have a certain soft, opaque texture and grain. To maintain authenticity the libretto needs to be of a certain paper stock and opacity as well.
Classic got all of this spot-on, including the cover’s deep blue color. Those used to the American Decca will find it hyper-toned, but take my word for it, it perfectly duplicates the Track original, but not later Track pressings, which were muted in color and not laminated."
"This Classic Records reissue is one of the label’s finest efforts physically and sonically and is one you will not regret buying, if just for what it reveals about Daltrey’s exceptionally nuanced performance. Kudos to all involved!"
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!
