THE WHO Who's Next (Indie Store Exclusive 50th Anniversary 2023 UK/EU limited edition 9-track LP pressed on 180-gram Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl, considered by many to be the band's greatest album. Originally released in 1971 it wasaground-breaking musical achievement and raised the bar for other artists to follow and continues to inspire to this day. Picture sleeve with original cover artwork, hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended)

Tracklisting: Remastered 50th anniversary edition Indie Store Exclusive on Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl. Who's Next is the fifth studio album by The Who, released on 14 August 1971. Its origins lie in an abortive multi-media rock opera written by chief songwriter Pete Townshend called Lifehouse. The album was commercially and critically successful, and became the only one by the group to top the UK charts. "Baba O'Riley" makes a spectacular opener, with a hypnotic drone disrupted by power chords that are parachuted in off the backs of meteorites. Dave Arbus' subtle then frantic viola solo raises it another gear. There has rarely been a more durably evocative refrain than "teenage wasteland". As ever, Daltrey's ragged voice brings humanity to Townshend's over-thinking. Moon is typically hyperactive: any drummer playing like this today would be ordered to rein it in. "Bargain" floats on the tension between acoustic guitar and the brave new synth. Like most of the album, it's melodramatic without - as with later Who - fattening into pomposity. "The Song is Over" oozes poignancy and 'Getting in Tune' and 'Going Mobile' are simply great songs. "Behind Blue Eyes" is a soul-searching ballad which bursts into belligerence, reflective then urgent. The climactic "Won't Get Fooled Again" stretches itself and chews its restraints until it becomes much more than a riff and a scream. It's on fire. In "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" it nailed the bleeding heart of protest-pop. Side A 1. Baba O'Riley 2. Bargain 3. Love Ain't for Keeping 4. My Wife 5. The Song Is Over Side B 1. Getting In Tune 2. Going Mobile 3. Behind Blue Eyes 4. Won't Get Fooled Again
THE WHO Thirty Years Of Maximum R&B (1994 UK limited edition 79-track digitally remastered FOUR CD box set featuring remix versions, previously unreleased recordings & rarities with historic 'Keith Moonisms' dialogue, complete with 72 page colour book featuring introduction by Pete Townshend, two sets of liner notes, rare photos & complete chronology and discography in a nice picture box)

THE WHO My Generation (Rare 1965 UK 12-track MONO vinyl LP on the black & silver deep groove Brunswick label, within its classic front laminated picture sleeve. Without a doubt, one of THE party albums of the sixties and a mod classic to this day! LAT8616)
See 'More Info' for full details onthe condition of this rarity ...

Tracklisting: Let's start with the iconic Robert Stace 'Clarifoil' front laminated picture sleeve as it is without doubt one of the most recognisable images of the Mod era. When this album was released it was an instant classic and consequently was taken to parties a lot and played to death or scratched. We've seen many copies of this album over the years but don't purchase them that often due to the poor condition of the vinyl and/or sleeve. The sleeve on the UK original was like many other released at the time, front laminated only. This meant that the back was just exposed paper. This laminate was all important for protecting the sleeve against spills, smudges and dirt in general and it did a great job, but we could never understand why sleeves weren't laminated all over?! So back to the condition - The front of the sleeve, having been protected by the laminate for almost half a century, is striking. The pinched spine is clearly legible with only the odd tiny spine crease and very small tear/nick on the back open edge - a really nice example. The rear of the sleeve shows minimal age discolouration, very hard to believe this is over half a century old. A very striking & lovely example, fit for framing. The labels are black Brunswick in design with striking silver print & deep grooves. They are free from any defects, with only a few spindle marks around the centre hole on both sides to indicate play. The matrix numbers are as follows :- Side One MG-10256-2B Side Two MG-10257-2B The vinyl is in amazing excellent condition, considering it was one of the greatest party albums of all time. The combination of heavyweight vinyl & careful, one ownership, handling have led to a copy with barely a trace of play; still gleaming and free of the usual deep scratches, beer stains and body fluids that often grace this gem of an album. We have play tested on a stereo setting and not mono, and were amazed at just how nice this sounded. There were minimal pops or clicks, and the breaks between each song were silent apart from the warm sound or vinyl. Apart from a few shortcomings with the sleeve, this really is an Excellent example. Tracklisting: A1. Out In The Street A2. I Don't Mind A3. The Good's Gone A4. La-La-La-Lies A5. Much Too Much A6. My Generation B1. The Kids Are Alright B2. Please, Please, Please B3. It's Not True B4. I'm A Man B5. A Legal Matter B6. The Ox
THE WHO My Generation (Classic 1965 UK 7" vinyl single with intact four prong centre, also featuring Shout And Shimmy, Brunswick company die cut paper sleeve. The vinyl appears Near Mint - an incredible copy of the ULTIMATE mod anthem!)

Tracklisting: My Generation Shout And Shimmy
