Pinched ends at top and bottom as required for first issue cover.
The heavyweight record has left a very very mild circular impression but you have to look very closely indeed to see this!
These were thick heavy vinyls back then!
All four corners are square shaped and all the edges are in superb unscuffed condition.
The opening edges are sharp and undamaged which is very rare for this cover.

An absolutely brilliant copy of this Classic LP and unbeatable in this condition!

There are no scribbles, price stickers or shop stamps anywhere to be found on this LP, Cover or Inner.

Any true Hendrix fan will want the Track originals in their collection as the quality of these pressings has to be heard to be believed!

IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

Will be supplied with Heavyweight Plastic Sleeve for the Gatefold Cover in which  will place the original sleeve and the LP's will be packed out of the cover in clean new white inner sleeves and new white cardboard outer sleeves to protect your investment and mailed in a Professional Mailer surrounded by heavy-duty cardboard to ensure it arrives with you in the same condition as it leaves me.

In summary this is a near museum quality true collectors piece of a 42 year old classic!

Strictly for the Hendrix Connoisseur!

From my own personal collection assembled over 25+ years with constant upgrading whenever available so this is a unique opportunity to acquire a pristine example of  a RARE and COLLECTIBLE LP that has been lovingly cared for. 

All LP covers were stored in the highest quality plastic sleeves and the records stored in separate archival white inners out of the cover to prevent damage to the original sleeves and ring wear of the record through to the original cover.

Lots of rarities will be listed over the coming weeks and you will be hard pressed to improve on these as I was relentless in the pursuit of the finest examples at whatever cost!

THIS IS A REAL ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. ONCE THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE!!
