HAD TO RELIST THIS. JUST PURCHASED A HIGH-END RIGA TURNTABLE WHICH IS VERY AUDIO-SENSITIVE TO ANY IMPERFECTIONS! WHEN I PLAYED THE ENTIRE  RECORD VERY LOUD, I HEARD THREE POPS IN ONE SECTION OF “THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN” THAT I DID NOT HEAR ON MY OTHER TURNTABLE

One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era. On Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix synthesized various elements of the cutting edge of 1967 rock into music that sounded both futuristic and rooted in the best traditions of rock, blues, pop, and soul. It was his mind-boggling guitar work, of course, that got most of the ink, building upon the experiments of British innovators like Jeff Beck and Pete Townshend to chart new sonic territories in feedback, distortion, and sheer volume. It wouldn't have meant much, however, without his excellent material, whether psychedelic frenzy ("Foxey Lady," "Manic Depression," "Purple Haze"), instrumental freak-out jams ("Third Stone from the Sun"), blues ("Red House," "Hey Joe"), or tender, poetic compositions ("The Wind Cries Mary") that demonstrated the breadth of his songwriting talents. Not to be underestimated were the contributions of drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, who gave the music a rhythmic pulse that fused parts of rock and improvised jazz. Many of these songs are among Hendrix's very finest; it may be true that he would continue to develop at a rapid pace throughout the rest of his brief career, but he would never surpass his first LP in terms of consistently high quality. [The British and American versions of the album differed substantially when they were initially released in 1967; MCA's 17-song reissue did everyone a favor by gathering all of the material from the two records in one place, adding a few B-sides from early singles as well.]

M-: Completely clean, no marks, plays clean. Rarely used

NM: Carefully used, looks clean, plays clean, shiny gloss, plays clean.

EX: May be faint scuff or superficial mark, Close to NM high gloss, plays clean

VG++: Glossy with minimal scuffing and/or a couple of light marks.  Will play very nice.

VG+: A bit more scuff or marks still plays well with very minimal occasional surface sound.

VG: A few more marks/scratches only minor, nothing deep. No repetitive clicks or loud pops. 

VG-: Surface noise will be more prominent. Will not have skips or jumps.

G: Pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies within this range.

I DO NOT DOUBLE BOX ITEMS

To be a little more clear, there is a non-feelable hairline mark on the last part of Third Stone From The Sun. The pops are not very loud but they are there
