INFO:

JIMI HENDRIX - AXIS BOLD AS LOVE 1967 MONO 1ST PRESSING ON TRACK RECORDS 612003, MATRIX 612003 A-1/B-1, LAMINATED GATEFOLD E.J.DAY SLEEVE WITH MEGA RARE FOLD OUT LYRIC INSERT.

RECORD:

THE VINYL AUDIO IS IN EXCELLENT, THE VINYL IS PRESSED ON THICK 1ST PRESS VINYL AND THE SOUND IS GREAT. THE VINYL BOTH SIDES PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES, MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE AND NO STICKS OR JUMPS AT ALL, THE SOUND IS CLEAR AND MONO SOUND IS VIBRANT AND WITH GREAT DEPTH. VISUALLY THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES ON BOTH SIDES, MINIMAL HAIR LINES AND NO FEELABLE SCRATCHES AT ALL, NONE OF THE MARKS ON THE VINYL AFFECT SOUND QUALITY OR PLAYING AT ALL. I STRESS THESE ARE MINIMAL MARKINGS AND I WOULD STILL GRADE THE VINYL OVERALL AS EXCELLENT, BUT AS EVER THESE THINGS ARE OPEN TO INTERPRETATION.

LABELS:

BOTH MATT LABELS ARE CLEAN WITH NO WRITING OR MARKINGS ON THEM AT ALL, THE COMPLETE TEXT IS ALL FULLY READABLE AND CLEAN. THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES AROUND THE HOLE, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS OR OUT OF THE ORDINARY, THE RECORD HAS CLEARLY BEEN PLAYED AND ENJOYED, BUT I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T SAY TO EXCESS AND IT HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. I'VE OWNED THIS NOW FOR ABOUR 4 YEARS AND PROBABLY PLAYED IT 5 - 10 TIMES, NO MORE.

SLEEVE:

UNFORTUNATELY SLEEVE HAS A COUPLE OF AREAS OF DAMAGE, ONE THAT I CERTAINLY DIDNT NOTICE WHEN I PURCHASED AND WHEN WITHIN A PROTECTIVE PVC SLEEVE CAN BE EASILY MISSED. I HAVE TAKEN A PIC OF THIS AREA.ON NOEL REDDINGS HEAD ON THE FRONT COVER IT LOOKS AT SOME POINT THERE HAS BEEN SOME DAMAGE TO THE HAIR, APPROX FROM THE HAIR ABOVE THE FACE TO THE TOP OF THE HAIR.THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, INKED IN AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH SOME SUBSTANCE AT SOME POINT HAS GOT IN A SMALL QUANTITY ONTO THIS AREA OF THE FRONT SLEEVE. ON SUCH A BUSY COVER IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO SEE, PARTICULARLY AS WHEN I BOUGHT IT I WAS MORE BOTHERED ABOUT THE INSERT THAN ANYTHING ELSE, AS THATS CLEARLY WHERE THE VALUE (MONETARILY) IS. AS MUCH AS IT'S THERE IT DOESNT DETRACT FROM THE FRONT COVER IMAGE TOO MUCH. THE SPINE HAS SOME WEAR AND THE GATEFOLD ENDS ARE FURRY BUT INTACT AND THE SLEEVE AS A WHOLE IS SOLID. THE INNER FLIPBACKS ARE EXCELLENT AND BOLD BLACK IN COLOUR AND THE INNER GATEFOLD IMAGE IS PERFECT AND A SUPERB PHOTO.

INSERT:

THE GATEFOLD INSERT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, THE FOLD IS STILL SOLID AND INTACT, COLOUR STILL VIBRANT AND THERE ARE NO NAMES, WRITING, RIPS, PIN HOLES OR ANYTHING THAT SERIOUSLY CAUSES CONCERN. IT HAS AGE OF COURSE, BUT IS CLEAN AND HAS BEEN PRESERVED WELL.

ANY MORE PICS OF THE COVER REQUIRED JUST LET ME KNOW.
