Grading
- THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS TO GRADE VINYL. BELOW IS AN EXPLANATION OF HOW VINYL AT LTD. & RARE VINYL SHOP IS GRADED.
- NOTHING IS GRADED MINT. THE HIGHEST GRADING IS NEAR MINT (NM).
- (NM) - THE ITEM IS IN NEW CONDITION. ONLY MINOR FLAWS (WHICH WILL BE NOTED IN THE LISTING) IF ANY ARE PRESENT. THE COVER IS TYPICALLY STILL IN IT'S SHRINK (WILL BE NOTED IF SO) AND ONLY THE FAINTEST OF CORNER WEAR, ETC. CAN BE FOUND. IF THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED IT HAS BEEN PLAYED LESS THAN ONE OR TWO TIMES AND DOES NOT SHOW SIGNS OF SPINDLE MARKS OR SCRATCHES. UNDER VINYL CONDITION IT WILL READ (UNPLAYED) IF THE VINYL IS VIRGIN TO THE NEEDLE. THE HIGHEST RATING WE GIVE. CONSIDERED INVESTMENT GRADE TOP SHELF.

THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED, BUT ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES AND ALL IMPERFECTIONS OF SUBSTANCE WILL BE NOTED. EX AND HIGHER IS STILL CONSIDERED INVESTMENT GRADE...GRADING IS EXTREMELY STRICT.
- (VG) - CAN ALSO RANGE FROM VG+++ TO VG---. THIS GRADE IS STILL OF HIGH QUALITY AND ALL IMPERFECTIONS OF SUBSTANCE WILL BE NOTED. VG GRADE IS NOT JUST A "PLAYABLE VERSION". IT IS STILL CONSIDERED TO BE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND OF COLLECTIBLE VALUE.
- (PG) - PLAYABLE GRADE. THIS IS VERY RARE TO SEE BUT WHEN PRESENT IT IS SIMPLY AS IT READS....A COPY OF THE ALBUM THAT IS OF VALUE TO THE OWNER FOR THE MUSIC AND IS NOT CONSIDERED AN INVESTMENT, RATHER A COPY FOR SOMEONE LOOKING TO PLAY AN ALBUM THAT HAS WEAR TO IT.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Wow....tough to wrap this album up without going into great detail....luckily for you :) I will assume that if you are looking at this auction I will assume you know what you are looking at and its rarity.
Jimi Hendrix "Axis: Bold As Love" 1967 UK First Pressing
Matrix 612 003 A1
612 003 B1
Included is the ultra rare orange lyric sheet that was included only in the first copies prior to being removed from the album. It is estimated that 500 copies were made with an obvious amount disappearing over the last 40+ years.
Cover: Graded at EX-/VG+++. I do not adjust grading simply because an album is 40 years old. The grade is true to form. The cover is a this double gatefold with a gloss finish. The glos shows slight signs of cracking (it also does a good job producing glare in a photo...as seen in the second picture. Corner wear with a couple of very small breaks, structurally the corners are strong and minimal bending. Spine is fully intact as seen in photos. An absolute gem that is worthy of investment quality due to the scarcity of this item in such condition.
Insert: Absolutely beautiful with sharp corners. Graded at NM/NM-
Vinyl: Side A: Easily graded at EX+++ with minimal paper scratching and unbelievable sound.
Vinyl Side B: 4 distint scratches on this side that do not affect sound/skipping on my system. This is a very thick vinyl which could be why the playback is absolutely amazing even with these four scratches. Play graded at EX, visually graded at VG+
Side A/B Labels: Spindle wear on both sides (very common on Track Record's Black Label). Labels are aligned correctly without any staining and all writing is easily readable. Grades at a strong EX+++ without the spindle wear but a VG++ considering the spindle wear.
Sleeve: Original sleeve with made in Great Britain stamp. Slight coloring with age. Grades at EX++.
