Description

Hello, I am a long-time eBay seller - since October, 1999.  I have a 100% feedback record, so bid and buy with confidence.  I have collected records for many years and every record I offer comes from my personal collection.  The grade I specify for the vinyl is based upon a playback as well as a visual inspection.  The grade I assign for the cover and inserts (if any) is based upon a close visual inspection.  My grading standards are conservative - I believe that it does no one any good to inflate the grade of the record only to have the buyer be disappointed upon receipt and wish to return it.  I offer a full, no-questions-asked return policy on every record I sell except in very rare circumstances.  In those rare cases, I clearly state the condition of the record and explain why I cannot accept a return on it.
For sale today is an excellent copy of the Are You Experienced album released in 1967 by the Jimi Hendrix Experience.  This is the stereo version on the original tri-color Reprise label.  
As to condition, the vinyl conservatively looks Near Mint Minus, just a notch below NM.  It lies flat, and retains much of its original sheen and shine. I grade it NM- mainly because of the presence of one or two wispy lines, none of which affect its play.  Indeed, as to sound quality, it plays Near Mint.  No sticks or skips, only the rare pop or tick.   
The outer cover is also in Near Mint Minus condition (which eBay calls Excellent apparently).  Colors are full and vibrant, front and back.  All corners are sharp and square, although the top left corner has a very slight crinkle or fold towards the spine.  Spine is full and complete, no splits or tears.      
The labels are in Near Mint shape.   The original inner sleeve is Excellent condition, which a couple of wrinkles from storage (see photo).     
Since I purchased this album, I have stored the vinyl in an archival inner sleeve, which I then placed in a separate cardboard cover to best protect both the vinyl as well as the original outer sleeve (see photo).  Both the archival inner sleeve and the generic white outer cover will be included with the purchase and the record will be shipped in them to best protect the original outer cover as well as the vinyl.     
All in all, a great example of this great album by Jimi Hendrix on the original tri-color Reprise label!  Thanks for looking.
