This is an auction for a 1966 first press of the Who’s A Quick One LP on Reaction.


This was rescued from my uncle’s collection - he was going to transfer it from his shed - where it’s sat for 40 years - to his skip!


Amazingly after a clean up it actually plays quite well. There are some surface marks but the important thing is I didn’t detect a jump/skip.


Matrices are stamped 593002 A//2 and B//2 suggesting this to be an early press, possibly first.


I played it on two separate turntables - a low end unforgiving Sony and a kinder Audio Technica. Occasional dead wax crackle but no major playback issues.


Sleeve has a vague woody odour but is in pretty decent shape with a couple of air bubbles - see pictures.


Overall a solid, playable copy of this LP. Given it’s 40 year residence in a shed it’s probably not for the fussier vinyl collector, but fine if you want a copy to listen to rather than look at.


Given all the above info, please do bid accordingly.
