This is a 1st Pressing of a great album and has the Matrix Nos:-  A1/B1/A1/B1  and the etched "MELY + BOB" on all four sides.

This gatefold cover has the attached booklet on the inside and as you can see from the photos, this is in excellent condition throughout.  The only real blemish is on the spine above “THE WHO” where there is a small piece of wear (I have shown this in the photo).  

The full condition of the album is as follows:

Gatefold Sleeve – Ex (The cover has a great look to it and hardly shows any signs of age or wear - the spine is the only real blemish as mentioned and photographed, but even then this is still clear and strong)

The booklet stapled inside -  Ex+ (no rips of creases, could almost be N/Mint). 

Inner sleeves - Ex+ & Ex+ (Original Inners with no creases or splits, could also be N/Mint)

Vinyls – N/Mint & N/Mint (Amazing condition with no marks or wear.  They both look as though they have never been played.  I would grade as mint but as this is not brand new it cannot be considered mint).

Grab this fantastic album at an equally fantastic price! I also consider all reasonable best offers put forward.

I do have a few other The Who albums listed, all of which are 1st/Original pressings and are in excellent condition, so if you are a fan of The Who and want to increase your collection, I am open to combining the albums at reasonable prices and also minimise the postage costs.

Thank you for looking, and please feel free to ask any questions.
