JIMI HENDRIX - Axis: Bold As Love 

Rare 1967 UK first issue 13-track MONO vinyl LP

Both mono and stereo mixes of Jimi's first two albums were made by Jimi, Chas Chandler, and Eddie Kramer at Olympic Studios in 1967. 

Final stereo mixing for the album was done on October 31st and November 1st, 1967. Chandler and Kramer completed a mono mix of the album on November 2nd, 1967. 

There are noticeable differences between the two mixes that make this MONO version extremely special to collectors: 

EXP is shorter without the extended feedback at the end and the vocals are louder. 

Castles Made Of Sand features a different vocal performance. 

One Rainy Wish has a slightly different ending. 

There are other subtle differences too across the entire album as a result of the separate mixing to mono as opposed to merely combining the stereo tracks. 

The Ernest J. Day sleeve has secure internal flipbacks and tight laminate. 

There is some minor wear to the edges & corners with a small chip to the bottom of the opening edge, otherwise really nice with the colours remaining rich, bright & vivid. 

The labels are the smooth finish variety & black with silver print/lettering. There is no writing or tears to the print & just some spindle marks around the centre hole to indicate a little past action 

There are a number of light paper scuffs & the odd hairline or minor cosmetic mark, causing a little ambient background noise between tracks & in some quiet passages. Thankfully, this is only minor, and the playback quality remains exceptional, largely due to the quality of sixties heavyweight vinyl, which cannot be beaten. 

This is an increasingly difficult to find, complete UK mono original. 

While not mint, market interest for it is ever increasing
