This is the Track UK Stereo 1st EXPORT pressing from 1967 and is in STUNNING condition!!!! The record is pressed on MEGA THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 613 003 on the 'earliest' 1st Press Track label (see picture) and is a MEGA RARE UK Stereo EXPORT 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Jimi Hendrix Experience at their best!!!! Any fan of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL AND HAS AMAZING LABELS!!!!  The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, 2 TINY marks (only visible under EXTREME light) and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! THIS RECORD LOOKS AWESOME!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  This record plays SUPERBLY - with the only INCREDIBLY minor points to mention is a VERY few MEGA FAINT low level clicks on the Side 2 run on groove and only the VERY beginning of the music (these stop almost immediately) and 3 clicks on the other run on groove.  AND THATS IT!!!!  THE REST OF THE RECORD PLAYS AWESOMELY!!!!  When I played this LP through I was INCREDIBLY impressed with the AWESOME sound!!!!  Most Stereo pressings of this LP usually got played with the wrong needle, or just heavily played.  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  This STUNNING Stereo 1st Pressing has clearly benefited from not being played much AT ALL - and is one of the VERY best sounding Stereo 1st Pressings of this LP I have ever heard!!!!  There is NO distortion, NO groovewear and just CRYSTAL CLEAR sound!!!!  Basically the record looks MINT and the 2 MEGA tiny marks I mentioned before can only be seen under EXTREME light!!!! Visually it must grade Excellent (Minus) if not FULL Excellent (virtually MINT under any light other than the VERY brightest) - with the playing grade only VERY slightly below this (plays AWESOMELY all the way though - apart from the VERY minor points at the beginning of each side mentioned above).  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!!

The ALL IMPORTANT Mega Rare INSERT (see picture) is in STUNNING condition!!!!  This is 100% GUARANTEED ORIGINAL 1st Press insert with a glossy look to both sides and is in STUNNING condition with NO splits, NO rips, NO nasty heavy creases, NO pin holes, NO folds, NO tape marks (this insert has clearly NEVER been put up on a wall), NO rubbing, NO staining, NO writing and only some very typical slight 'ruffling'!!!! This is the 100% GENIUNE insert and is STUNNING condition!!!!

The E.J.Day 1st Press Gatefold FLIPBACK Cover is in AWESOME condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO ringwear, VERY shiny laminate, STUNNING unfaded vivid colours, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is AMAZINGLY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are perfectly straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in STUNNING condition with NO wear, NO Grubbyness, NO rubbing and NO yellowing and NO writing!!!!   The cover must grade Excellent++ if not better and is simply AWESOME!!!! THIS IS A SIMPLY A MASSIVELY RARE LP AND VERY VERY HARD TO FIND WITH THE INSERT!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE AS A 100% GENIUNE EXPORT 1ST PRESSING WITH STICKERED SLEEVE!!!!  DONT MISS THIS SUPERB OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THE RAREST POSSIBLE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS STUNNING LP!!!!
