"A Quick One" was originally released as Reaction 593 002 on December 9, 1966. It reached #4 in the U.K.
In the U.S. (and presumably Canada) the release was held back until April or May 1967. The album was retitled "Happy Jack" partly because the 'Happy Jack' single had been a minor hit for The Who there and partly because Decca, their U.S. record company objected to the double entendre in the original title. Released as Decca DL4892 (mono), DL74892 (stereo) it peaked at #51. "Happy Jack" was the same album as "A Quick One" except 'Heatwave' was replaced by 'Happy Jack'.
The initial UK release was mono-only. In several European countries (Germany, Italy, Spain), Polydor released the stereo album The Who instead. The LP The Who is missing the last two tracks recorded for A Quick One--'So Sad About Us' and 'A Quick One While He's Away'-- and includes the four songs found on EP I'm A Boy (among other places) instead.
Stereo and "false stereo" mixes appear in bewildering and inconsistent combinations among the initial stereo releases of these various albums. 'So Sad About Us' was only true stereo in the North American releases. 'Whiskey Man' and 'Don't Look Away' were only in true stereo on European album releases.
Seller's Story
My name is Hans Kesteloo and I finally decided to sell my ‘remaining’ collection of 45’s, LP’s, CD’s, DVD’s, laserdiscs and other odd things after more than 60 years of ‘hardcore’ collecting. I purchased my first 45 in 1965, and this was the beginning of an enjoyable, long-time hobby – a real-time “collector’s career”. Now time has come to pass the baton !

My grading in Brackets is the same as the grading before that, but here I use the old respected "Goldmine" grading for the older traditional collector!
vg+ = slight traces of use / visible traces inaudible (Goldmine grading: VG+)
ex = very light inaudible traces (Goldmine grading: VG++)
nm = as new (Goldmine Grading: M-)
mint = new (Goldmine grading: M)
