this has great audio!
 
Great copy, clear audio no skips or jumps on our Rega 3, would grade as Near Excellent condition , here is a nice copy ( some light lines hairlinescratches and  removal scuffs which don't affect playback) some static in quieter passages which may improve with a professional clean.

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 ...

as Jimi said at the time "i made this album with "stereo" in mind , "

great colors to describe the sky ...

The double album NORMALLY sells now with "Blue Text" for around £400+ in VGC condition, these vinyls are way better and real keeper, sleeve is VGC  vinyls are near ex. there are some light trails on the vinyls , audio is near excellent. A great buy FOR UNDER 500 GBP. A Ghost text copy in great shape.


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 good condition
Has the larger sepia photos of Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchel which only the `Ghost Blue Text` copies have.
In fact this text was withdrawn due to errors during the printing stage and also that the blue text did not take well on the black surface. If you look closely the blue text is out of line and a shadow of previous incorrect text have been over printed, you can just make out the original printed text which was typed out incorrectly with the track listings for each side incorrect they tried to correct this with the blue text but it never really worked and was swiftly withdrawn in first few weeks of issue.

 some wear and laminate creasing of the sleeve, look at the laminate condition in photos, its a really good sleeve otherwise, the spine is good outer, inner has wear see photos and is fray ,  kept in pvc sleeve  no writing, names, stickers or tears, in VGC  shape for 54 years! kept safe in its pvc sleeve for many years , its not perfect as this has been handled and is 54. gatefold pics and inside laminate good. solid outer spine serious issues see photos.
The records
Label with  side A AND C on ONE disc NO ERROR!
Label B and C is labeled (a two record set) normal

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!

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

 
Near Excellent   A1 B2 and A2 B2 "Hand Etched and corrected" with Inverted Triangle in matrix

This is very early in the run and great audio playback.

here is no other writing on labels` Near Ex Condition, some spider trails but looking good.

 

great labels some light spindle marks plays clean, some light surface lines with some hairline scratches and small removal scuffs no issues on our Rega 3 or the super fussy light tracking Kenwood deck we use to grade, 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 good order!

no writing stickers or names on labels.

 the original inners have been replaced by good quality pvc lined inners to protect the vinyls


Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing 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!
