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 (0570), see detailed pic.

Runouts are stamped.

    I have the blue lettering ,black inside and the inner bag says 0470 , so 1 month before the black lettering? Or just an old er inner?

      I love hearing John Entwistle’s ripping bass lines on this album. Loud and clear. This record showcases just how great he was.

        This version is still better than anything officially put out.

          Happy Live at Leeds day to all those Who celebrate the anniversary of the recording of this visceral and essential record!

            Rare perhaps, but I too am not convinced about this particular version being one of only 300. My copy has all 12 inserts still contained within the original grease proof bag. All are in perfect shape, as is the bag. Purchased my copy a few years back from a guy who had owned it from new and appears to have done no more than slit open the bag to look at what was inside and put the album on a turntable a few times.

              What is up with the weird liner note in early CD versions that says ""Recorded February 14, 1970, except for "Young Man Blues" recorded December 26, 1968." Young Man Blues is from Leeds, and the Who didn't even perform on Dec. 26th 1968.

                The Who played on the concert 34 tracks. Too much for a vinyl. (I have the complete concert on mp3).

                  Looking for information on this version I'm looking at...
                  Everything matches MG 712420 (including the sleeve & inserts...) but this one has Matrix "R104025" is also printed on the ring, just underneath "MG 712420”. There is also a small rectangular clear sticker on the bottom left of the outer sleeve with “R104025”

                  Side 1: R10 4025A
                  2S
                  A1
                  Side 2: R10 4025B
                  2S
                  A2

                  Is there a way I can post pictures here? Or should I just submit add a release?
                  This is my first Discogs post so please go easy on me if this isn't the right place for format...:)

                    Oggi giornata proficua, oltre Who' Next, ho trovato "Live at Leeds" che contiene 5 brani bellissimi.
                    Sulla facciata 2 vi sono " Magic Bus" e la mitica "My Generation".l Sulla 1a facciata "Summertime"
                    è composta da Townshend, le altre 3 da Mose' Allison, Cochran and Heath. 1970 GRANDI WHO.

                      Avevo acquistato gli album degli Who su cd ( erano i primi anni duemila ), il vinile non era ancora risorto. Poi un
                      bel giorno vidi il doppio "Tommy" in edizione da 180 gr. completamente rivista la copertina trifold diventa gatefold, la posizione dei brani sui 2 vinili cambia,comunque il vecchio tenuto bene in mio possesso come suono mi soddisfò
                      maggiormente.
                      Attualmente girando per i mercatini e negozi dell'usato, sto prendendo i vinili. Possedevo Quadrophenia e Tommy, ho già trovato ".....at Leeds....", "who are you", "......by numbers" e la colonna sonora del film "Tommy".
