WHO, THE – I CAN'T EXPLAIN, DECCA US 7” the earliest Who 45 I now have!

None of these were “expensive”, so it was great to add to my collections of The Who, Procol Harum, 10cc, classic Bryan Ferry, Mike Oldfield, Deep Purple etc. I still have a lot to learn in the “45 Universe”!

And I understand that Rockaway are doing a “Pop-Up Store” next weekend (at their regular location), so if you’re in L.A., check it out!
