TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Condition
Very little is documented among Who fans & collectors regarding this unique 'girl cover' design. This is only the fifth time we have stocked an original pressing. It is near impossible to find these days in any condition.

The sleeve grades a solid Excellent. There is nothing that spoils the lovely colour design. There is just the odd light crease marks to the edges, barely any ring wear & minor scuffing to the paper at the corners, but has no splits or rips and the flipbacks on the still white back are intact and complete, with all text sharp and clearly legible.

This example will look fantastic on a shelf & the pinched-end spine remains near perfect, with clearly identifiable print. The mostly white back is exceptional - all text remains clear & vivid, including the original 'Made By Teichiku Records' print at the bottom along with the '1,800' yen price point. There is NO writing or annotation from its original owner! This stunning & colourful cover is worthy of framing & really yells 'sixties'!

Some very light foxing is noticeable on both sides of the rare insert - there are no tears or extraneous writing.

The labels have no tears or writing, with only a few light spindle marks around the centre hole to show play. The vinyl is heavyweight and a high quality Decca pressing. Both sides have a deep sheen and extremely clean with minimal signs of play, in fact the vinyl is one of the best we have ever seen.

If you can, you should! Highly recommended.
