Brief description of item

SUPER/MEGA RARE Jimi Hendrix Experience & Electric Jimi Hendrix. WITHDRAWN TRACK RECORDS release from 1968, Polydor fan club release that was almost immediately withdrawn down to artists request!! only a few/handful are known to exist today, this is one of those that got away!!! basically the first time these tracks were ever sent out/pressed in their history. A forerunner used as a promotional item, before "Electric Ladyland" was even/ever released to the general public. Here comprising split sides of the historic release to form the various titles/numbers given in aid of hoping to promote Jimi before he was a house hold name. He was the true KING & still holds this crown (probably always will) to this day.

You know the history (or don't) please look it up, this is one of the rarest records/release in the world today. This particular copy is a family copy! it plays as best as possible at a grade of EXCELLENT+ for both audio & appearance. Cover is in VG++ shape, with no serious issues such as : Split/Tearing/Handwritten names/Dust/Damp/Smell of age/Stains etc, etc. Only some slight parts of minimal crease here or there & some wear NOT tear to the spine. Highly impressive cover front & nice neat legible text to the back. Flimsy in nature these were always going to be prone to some form (over the years) of general aging, that is what's expected. Vinyl has a little part on the outer edges, before play, of some form of record rub/distortion for a second then the play is continuously smooth throughout both sides. Labels are in a nice shape, with some signs of being used, but not much! all text is legible. Original matching British patent sleeve, that came with this one is still here, I also store the record outside the main jacket & behind inside a spare inner sleeve/liner. You just don't see these ANYPLACE & I will sell for this price or higher if I can get it?? but no lower. I already have an offer in place to justify (along with the rarity) the starting price. A lot of money, granted....But totally justified for what I'm willing to offer. 

Ok, hopefully everything you need to know is pictured right here & below in the LARGER views of this exact item, no effects are used to make look better. The tracks are also mistitled here on the cover & labels, this was of course a factory fault as you can see...Gipsy Eyes, The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp etc. Its 100% genuine & no reproduction or bootleg or other.

I offer a TOP service for any items I own & especially vinyl items, which are also a passion of my own! I deliver or post fast, same day if possible or next day following payment in full. BOX mailers are used, see these type & method used below in 'payment & shipping' box. I'm not known to mess about, I also am not an overnight pizza box/delivery service! so your item is treated with respect & great care.

I wish everyone else would take the time!!! to serve people correctly. I make no extra cash from the boxed mailers & if your postage is cheaper (on the day) depending where its going, I will refund whatever part of that you may be due! otherwise, postage for ANY overseas sales, have to be recorded.  

NOTE : this item will under NO circumstance leave my hands, unless fully registered & fully tracked right to it's final destination. I will ONLY send this way & NO other way ok.

Best for everyone involved. If you have any questions about this listing/or any other listings I have, please contact me, I will help answer these query's fast as possible. Oh yeah, I have the whole album in it's entirety A&B sides recorded, I was going to add these, but couldn't. Best of luck if you decide to bid.  

All vinyl comes from a smoke, damp and pet free environment

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
