ATTENTION THE WHO AND 1960s LP COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS!  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 1ST UK EDITION OF THE BAND'S CLASSIC DOUBLE ALBUM:"TOMMY" IN SUPERB CONDITION HAVING HAD MINIMAL USE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE /1/1/1/1 MATRIXES,A LAMINATED TRIPLE FOLD OUT COVER AND THE NUMBERED LYRIC BOOKLET WHICH HAS A MEGA-LOW NUMBER=8452!!!!!!!

ONLY LAST WEEK A WELL KNOWN SELLER HAD A SET WHICH WENT FOR OVER £400 WITH AND I QUOTE "AN INCREDIBLY LOW NUMBER 54,526"!!!!!! EVEN HAVING THE MOST BASIC MATHS KNOWLEDGE,YOU CAN WORK OUT MY EXAMPLE IS MUCH,MUCH LOWER-ONLY 8452 BOUGHT ON THE FIRST DAY OF ISSUE IN LONDON SO THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FIRST EXAMPLES EVER MADE AND ISSUED OF THIS LP WITH ALL THE EARLIEST VARIATIONS INCLUDED NOT ON LATER REPRESSES WHICH ARE AS FOLLOWS:

A LAMINATED TRIPLE FOLD OUT COVER WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENT PENDING" CREDIT NOT ON LATER ONES. PRINTED BY ERNEST J.DAY. LATER COVERS DID NOT HAVE THE LAMINATION!

THE NUMBERED BOOKLET HAS A NUMBER. MOST OF THE LATER REPRESSES JUST STATED "LIMITED EDITION NUMBER" AND THERE WAS NO NUMBER ADDED!

THE LABELS STATE "DOUBLE ALBUM" TEXT NOT ON LATER LABELS AS WELL AS HAVING NO "SET NUMBER" TEXT WHICH WAS ON LATER REPRESSES. THE COVER HAS THE EARLIEST 613 013/4 CATALOGUE NUMBERS. THE RECORDS THEMSELVES HAVE MUCH THICKER VINYL THAN LATER WAFER THIN REPRESSES WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A//1+B//1+A//1+B//1 MATRIXES. UNLIKE OTHER ISSUES AROUND THE WORLD THE EARLIEST UK ONES HAD SIDES 1 AND 4 PRESSED TOGETHER AND SIDES 2 AND 3 PRESSED TOGETHER TO ENABLE CONTINUOUS PLAY BY DJs OR ON AUTOCHANGERS-THANKFULLY THIS SET HAS NOT HAD BEEN USED ON AUTOCHANGERS! 

PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS! 

THIS SET HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE AT ALL WITH GLEAMING SURFACES, WITH ONLY ONE HAIRLINE COVER REMOVAL TYPE SURFACE MARK AND A COUPLE OF VERY TINY MARKS ON SIDE 4 THAT PRODUCE A VERY SHORT LIVED MINOR CLICK(EACH LASTING APPROX 10 SECONDS)VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT AND THAT IS BEING VERY MEGA-STRICT!

NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS!  STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION AND OF UPGRADER STANDARD SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY! WAY,WAY BETTER THAN MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OVER 45 YEARS LATER!  PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS SO PLEASE BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE. 

THE LYRICS AND PHOTOS BOOKLET HAS CLEARLY REMAINED INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 45+ YEARS AND IS VERY CLEAN INDEED WITH NO WRITING,RIPS,STAINING OR REPAIRS!

THE RECORDS ARE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS" POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES.

THE COVER HAS SOME MINOR EDGE WEAR AND A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.     

MOST COPIES SOLD 45+ YEARS AGO IN 1969 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS SET HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR! 

 THIS IS A LOVELY PAIR OF VERY THICK VINYL PRESSINGS!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

A LOW,REALISTIC £50 PRICE FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF ANY WHO COLLECTION ESPECIALLY IN THIS OUTSTANDING UPGRADER STANDARD CONDITION!

SUPERB STEREO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
