"Very Good Condition "
this has fantastic clear audio!

Very Good Condition very collectable copy, clear audio no skips or jumps on our Rega 3, graded vinyls as VGC ( some small light and hairline scratches and removal scuffs which don't affect playback) a little static in quieter passages which may improve with a professional clean it's close to excellent in most places, some clicks on the Jazz rainy day but didn't spoil the listen for us.

Jimi on its launch said " I made this album with Stereo in mind" so listen..

Tracks include , Electric Ladyland, Crosstown Traffic, Gipsy Eyes, Voodoo Chile (extended original version and slight return) Long Hot Summer Night...Rainyday women, Come on...
most;y recorded in Electric Lady studios in Greenwich Village New York in 68 Jimmy was living and playing there every day and the music here is some of his best work ...

The guest musicians read like a who's who of the late 60s , Steve Windwood, Miles Davis , Jimi played bass and drums on some tracks , the experience were getting restless..
This is widely acclaimed as Jimis masterpiece, over to the fans, it's certainly moving in to stereo image in a great way.

great colors to describe the sky .....

The "Electric Ladyland" Album on original track labels 1st pressings at a great price ... this record sounds so good and clear, no problems to report.

this is the original 1968 first press Matrixes on UK Track records.

The "Ladies" cover

Very early cover , there is a lot written about the "Blue ink" and we cant clarify this "voodoo" some aspects , it's a real mystery "blue ink" only on the early copies a lot colour in some , slight fading on others, this copy is slightly brighter and vivid colours (see photos in listing ) any questions ? please ask !there is a lot of text written about this cover, it is very rare!  one of the early early copies with the unuaually larger inner photos of Mich Mitchel and Noel Redding
later copies had much smaller inner photos!  why the "blue ink?"

Very Good Condition (cover)

pictures in the listing are of the item for sale " what you see is what you get here"

Laminate creasing on the front and rear of the sleeve, minor ringwear at front, overall laminate condition in photos, no writing, names, in "good condition shape" for 48 years! this is not pefect its had a life ! kept safe in its pvc sleeve for recent years , its not perfect as this has been handled and is almost 50. The spine has frayed see photos rubbing in the central area and from storage removal the laminate has lifted here, the gatefold pics and inside laminate ,No rips, tears or worrying fault repairs its 100% original, there is some light stain on the rear cover but not obvious due to colours, its 49 and been loved and stored recently, the early years wear is visible. 

The records
label with A side D on disc NO ERROR! (a two record set)
Label B and C is labeled (a two record set) 

to explain these were made for old style auto changers so you could play side A then drop side B, then then turn both over drop side C then D etc....(perish the thought!) but yes they did!

NOTE we see many reports of "hey Ive got a rare press A and D..." (this is Normal ) like this one.

Very Good Condition+ A1 B2 and A2 B2 "Hand Etched and corrected 8" the matrix which isn't on later copies we have seen...matrix 2 has the original triangle only on very early copies.

This is very early in the run in our view...

great vivid classic *Black Track* labels some spindle marks plays clean, very light scratches only with some hairlines and small removal scuffs no issues on our Rega 3 or the super fussy light tracking Kenwood deck we use to grade, very few pops and clicks in quiter parts but nothing to disrupt pleasure of this great recording (we have not cleaned as this is a personal thing) this is a first press in great order!
the "acid test" of the intro to "And the Gods Made Love" and the strart to "Rainy Day" are very good with amazing audio from this 48 year old. only some static at the start.

no writing stickers or names on labels.

Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing clear bass, may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3.

any questions please ask!

Overall a great VGC original copy!
