Some general remarks: This item is NEAR MINT throughout. You won't find a better one.
I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive Lyra Kleos MC-cartridge. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops. I clean all records on my Keith Monks RCM II and add the Nagaoka N102 protective sleeve to each record.
The Vinyl: NEAR MINT
Both records are like new. Seriously. The sound is loud, vibrant and full bodied. There are so many mediocre sounding pressings of these albums out there - the ones on auction are an exception. The only pressings of "Are you experienced" and "Axis" being able to catch up with the sound of the copies on auction are the 1st US pressings on the 3-tone Reprise label. The UK Track pressings all sound worse.
The Labels: NEAR MINT
The laminated Gatefold-Sleeve: EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT
In unbelievable condition for its age.
Plain White Inner Sleeves: NEAR MINT
Here we go - Jimi's first 2 albums in PRISTINE condition on the early Polydor Label - don't let this one pass by.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee listed above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
Payment is required within 3 working days after auction ended.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
