Description

Live At Leeds is widely regarded as one of the greatest live rock albums ever recorded. Captured at the University of Leeds Refectory on 14 February 1970, the album showcases The Who at the peak of their live powers, delivering explosive performances of "Young Man Blues", "Substitute", "Summertime Blues", "Shakin' All Over", "My Generation" and "Magic Bus". The record perfectly captures the raw energy, improvisation and sheer power that made The Who one of the greatest live acts in rock history.

Pressing Notes

Original UK first pressing on Track Records, catalogue number 2406 001. This highly desirable example features the rare black stamped lettering on the front cover, a variation believed to have been limited to the earliest batch of sleeves before the more common blue and red stamped versions were introduced. Collectors generally regard the black-lettered sleeve as the true first issue, with only a few hundred examples believed to have been produced.

This copy should also include the famous set of twelve reproduction inserts housed within the gatefold-style folder, including the Woodstock contract, Maximum R&B poster, lyric sheets, correspondence and memorabilia replicas that accompanied the original release. Complete examples with all inserts present are among the most sought-after records in The Who catalogue.
