One owner since new, played a few times on audiophile equipment, well cared for.
A couple of inserts have staple punctures, small tape marks or wear along the edges or corners from having been on a wall at one time or another (what kid DIDN'T put up their "MARQUEE" poster?) but all are in good condition.  A couple of extra inserts - #11 and #12 as listed below - from a different early edition are also included.
Please see pictures of the actual items you will receive.

Notes: (taken from https://www.discogs.com/release/14292463-The-Who-Live-At-Leeds)
This version of the album has blue lettering on front cover and black lettering inside sleeve. According to newer theories (fe. Record Collector article) the fainted blue on front sleeve and the black print inside of sleeve makes this a 1st pressing (blue lettering variation) alongside the one with black lettering on front sleeve. The inserts are of first pressing type. The gatefold sleeve houses the following inserts:
01) The Large 'MARQUEE' Poster (the "LIVE AT LEEDS" one came later); 02) The 'KINGS AGENCY' insert ('hole punched' to the left, later ones aren’t); 03) The Small 'DELIVERY NOTE' insert (thin 'typewriter' paper, later ones are thicker normal paper); 04) The 'MY GENERATION LYRICS' typed insert (with handwritten annotations and THREE handwritten '*' - stars - two on the right & 1 on the left, later ones only have two); 05) The Small 'NOTICE' Insert ('hole punched' to the left, later ones aren’t); 06) The 'NEW ACTION LTD' insert (folded along the central line, later ones are NOT); 07) The 'HIGH NUMBERS' typed payment insert (made in the CORRECT Yellow Colour, later ones aren’t, and folded along the central line, later ones aren’t); 08) The 'PREMIER TALENT ASSOCIATES' Contract Insert (made in the CORRECT Yellow Colour, later ones aren’t); 09) The 'EMI RECORDS' correspondence insert (made on CORRECT thinner paper, later ones are thicker); 10) The 'MARQUEE CLUB' payments insert ('hole punched' to the left, later ones aren’t); 11) The Small 'PICTURE OF THE WHO' photograph insert (every face & eyes of EVERY Who member are FULLY visible and 100% clear, later ones were badly printed, much darker, and lack detail); 12) The 'GUITAR OVERHEAD' insert (with 'handwritten text' on the reverse. The writing is PERFECT in COLOUR & DETAIL and most importantly in the EXACT shade of 'biro blue' and looks absolutely EXACT. All later ones are obviously (& badly!) printed in black). Label states 'Crackling noises O.K. Do Not correct!'
