Cover; (VG)                      Vinyl; (VG+)
The cover is an Very Good condition as it as some wear do to being stored with out a protective plastic sleeve or with several records. The record is an Very Good  almost appears Very Good +, has some light static when played from beginning to end both sides. This is the first debut album of Jimi Hendrix along with Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on guitar. The first of three albums that were released during his lifetime. This is the Stereo version first pressing as there are very hard to get even in this condition.   The album features Jimi Hendrix's innovative approach to songwriting and electric guitar playing which soon established a new direction in psychedelic and hard rock music. Coming after three successful European singles; Hey Joe, Purple Haze, and The Wind Cries Mary,it  helped introduce him as a new international star.  Especially his Us debut when he played Live In Monterrey Pop Festival 1967. The album did well in the US number 5 and the UK number 2. The Singles in the US Hey Joe And Purple Haze did not chart but Foxey Lady charted at Number 67. These songs did get a lot of airplay however became some of his well known songs and concert staples when performed live. Get this 1st Pressing while you can at a low bid or if your a fan of Jimi Hendrix this is a must have.
The album cover has some flaws as it is Very Good in a plastic sleeve has it wasn't  preserve and stored very well it has some rips on top of the sleeve. The record has several scratch's some you can feel with your nail I don't see more so it's in Very Good condition on both sides. The deep scratches don't make the album skip plays all the way. The record comes in a generic paper sleeve and plastic sleeve and does not come with the original Reprise sleeve. The Record skips in the middle on three songs on Side 1: 3. Hey Joe, 5. May This Be Love and Side 2: The Wind Cries Mary other then that plays fine after it skips for 3 seconds.The Record when you play from beginning all the way to the end it has some static it doesn't bother. The cover does have some wear and tear on top as I posted a picture other then than that the label of the record and cover has no tape,writing, moisture damage as it is clean. Other then that looks decent even the label is cleaned, the scratches don't effect play just the static when you play it. Get this very hard  get 1st Mono Pressing as they almost Rare there are not many Mono pressings. You have a chance of getting this hard to find record at a low bid, get it while you can must have for collectors.

RECORD GRADING GUIDELINES FOR VINYL RECORDS:
Mint (M): Perfect. I will only use this for a brand new, sealed item. Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear, though there may be very slight imperfections inherent in the vinyl pressing. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Record shows some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps not affecting the sound are OK. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration. Very Good (VG): Record may have some light scratches and scuffs that may affect the sound especially in softer passages of the record, but will not overpower the music. There will be no skips in the record. Very Good Minus (VG-): Record will have scratches and scuffs that will affect the sound. The noise will not detract from enjoying the record. Very old records with significant wear will be listed under this classification. There will be no skips in the record.
FOR LP COVERS & 45 & EP SLEEVES:
Mint (M): Perfect. Again…a brand new, sealed item. Near Mint (NM): No creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes. Only the slightest signs of handling may be visible. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Slight creases or signs of wear may be visible. May be marred by a cut-out hole or other indication that it was taken out-of-print. Very Good (VG): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible. No splits or tape.
