Description
It is rare to find this magnificent follow up album to "Are You Experienced", released in 1967 on the Black/Silver Track label 612003 in Mono with the first press matrix numbers A1/B1, yet alone in this excellent condition. This UK pressing has a high gloss finish with a minimal amount of paper scuffing and handling marks. None of this marking is noticeable on audio playback! The disc has the rough surface, black Track label with little spindle marking. no warping and no spindle hole wear.
The outer laminated flipback E J Day sleeve with its matt interior is in excellent condition. Both front and back still have a high surface gloss with no ring wear or creasing. There is no writing on the spine which is perfect. There is a very small amount of wear on some of the corners, but this is really minimal.
The polylined inner sleeve is the Patent numbered original and is also in good condition.
There are no marks/writing on the disc label or sleeve.
This record has been in my private collection since I purchased it in 1967. It has been kept upright away from sources of light/heat/damp and dust on custom built shelving for the past 42 years, and to my knowledge has not been on a turntable for the last 40 years (apart from me checking it for audio imperfections, this week).
This is a superb copy, a collectors item and not to be missed. Any serious Hendrix fan will know what a fine album this is. The Mono bassy sound beats the Stereo version for sheer power and is part of the appeal of this particular album.
Do not miss this brilliant early copy, it will be along time before you see another in thsi great overall condition.
