THE WHO
MY GENERATION
MONO THEY DO NOT GET MUCH RARER THAN THE WHO'S DEBUT ALBUM. NOT ONLY IS IT A UK FIRST PRESS, IT IS ALSO THE EARLIEST WITH 'FABULOUS/ESSEX MUSIC' , 'LOIS MUSIC', AND 'JEWEL MUSIC' ON THE LABELS. ALSO HAS 'M/T' ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LABEL, MAKING IT THIS THE FIRST LABEL SO EARLIEST PRESS !!! THIS IS FROM MY TREASURED VINYL COLLECTION, AND MORE GREAT NEWS IS THAT THE AUDIO PLAYS FANTASTIC, WITH NO ISSUES, WHICH IS ALSO VERY RARE FOR THIS ALBUM !!!!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 UK EARLIEST 1ST PRESS :: MG- 10256-1B  ::  MG-10257-1B .
EARLIEST MOTHERS AND STAMPERS :: 1 B  ::  1 B .
ON THE 1ST BLACK AND SILVER BRUSWICK LABEL :: LAT-8616 .
'FABULOUS/ESSEX MUSIC' , 'LOIS MUSIC', AND 'JEWEL MUSIC' AND M/T ON THE LABELS !!!!

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. OR ebay.com, AND IF THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME, WHICH WILL BE OF GREAT HELP. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER ::  ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED WITH 'BRUNSWICK' TOP RIGHT AND 'MONO LAT 8616' TOP LEFT, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO RUB OR SPLITS, JUST A COUPLE OF WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES. THE LAMINATE HAS NO LAMINATE LIFT, WITH SOME TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND SOME LAMINATE CREASING TOWARDS THE OPENING EDGE. THE BACK DOES HAVE SOME HANDLING MARKS AND SOME LIGHT RING WEAR. THE BEST DESCRIPTION IS TO VISUALLY LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, AS THIS WILL GIVE YOU A MUCH BETTER DESCRIPTION. THIS IS A NICE SOLID PRESENTABLE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS COVER, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE :: VG/VG+ . DUE TO THE BACK ONLY !!

VINYL :: THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT IT PLAYS AMAZING, WITH NO SERIOUS OR EVEN MODERATE AUDIO ISSUES. VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY WITH NOTHING SHOWING, AND ONLY WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT CAN YOU SEE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND SOME FINE COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND TWO TINY MARKS, ONE AT THE START OF TRACK 4 AND THE OTHER AT THE START OF 5, ON SIDE 2, WHICH ARE SLIGHTLY FEELABLE, BUT THEY HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO AS THEY ARE ONLY LIGHT. THIS REALLY DOES PLAY VERY WELL AND ALL I HEARD WAS A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 :: WHILE ON SIDE 2 JUST A BIT OF FAINT STATIC ON THE RUN IN TO TRACK 1 AND A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 3. THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN ONLY THREE TRACKS, AND THAT'S ALL AS THE REST HAS NOTHING TO REPORT. VERY RARE TO FIND THIS ALBUM WITH AUDIO AS GOOD AS THIS ONE, AND WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR JUMPS, AND IN FACT NOTHING IN THE SLIGHTEST INTRUSIVE OR OVER THE AUDIO, SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ . PROBABLY  NEARER EX+ !!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING OR SPLITS, WITH DATE '065' MADE IN ENGLAND, BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND 'FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING, BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THERE IS SOME AGEING AND CREASING IN BOTTOM CORNERS, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE :: VG+ .

THESE DO NOT TURN UP VERY OFTEN, AND ALSO BEING ONE OF THE EARLIEST PRESSES WITH FIRST LABELS, AND EARLIEST 1B / 1B  MOTHERS AND STAMPERS, YOU PROBABLY WILL HAVE A VERY LONG WAIT UNTIL, OR EVEN IF ANOTHER ONE DOES TURN UP FOR SALE. PRESENTABLE ORIGINAL SOLID COVER, AND SUPERB AUDIO. THERE ARE THOSE COSMETICS AS MENTIONED, BUT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND THIS REALLY WILL BE A MONSTER ALBUM FOR ANY VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
