A very rare very first press of The Who's classic Quadrophenia in excellent + condition , Plays through perfectly with a rich dynamic sound that you only get with vinyl
The vinyl and labels are ex+ / nr mint
The cover is ex+ with just one little tear ( see pics )
The attached book is near mint
The spine is near mint with perfectly readable type
Completely original anti static inners ex+
You can be assured that it is an absolutely
guaranteed first pressing not one of the early second pressings
Alll 4 matrix marks are delta marked no slashes at all and on side 2 it is marked
S2-MCA 362 only the very first presses were marked like this as a reference to the American version . The matrix numbers are listed below , please note I do not have a delta mark ( upside down triangle ) on my keyboard so where there is one I've used ^ as my delta mark , no slashes at all , track records would keep numbers low and change delta marks to slashes instead of changing numbers to indicate subsequent pressings
Some people might think my start price is high , but believe me it is not , an excellent plus copy sold on eBay last week for £ 477 pounds and the only difference between my copy and there's is the slight tear to my cover ( see pics ) if any thing my runout numbers are lower than his , if they mean anything . All in all a rare first press classic that's only going to accumulate in value , there can't be many left in this sort of condition , the only reason I'm selling is because I have two and I thought I would share my good fortune .
Matrix numbers
Side one 2406110 A^1 111
Side two 2406110 B^1 111 S2-MCA 362
Side three 2406111 A^1 14
Side four 2406111 B^2 111
( please remember that ^ equals a delta mark ( upside down triangle )
