Release notes

This is the first UK pressing (300 copies made), with the black stamp on cover (blue and red came later).
It contains a set of 11 inserts + a poster.
The set was originally stored in a greaseproof-bag, where the inserts were held inside the pocket into the gatefold cover (see pic).
The set was composed as follow:
01) The Large ‘MARQUEE’ Poster (the “LIVE AT LEEDS” one cames 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).

Copy with runout variant 3 includes the original polyline “Plastic Bags” Polydor inner sleeve dated May 1970, see detailed pic.

Runouts are stamped.
