JIMI HENDRIX ELECTRIC LADYLAND ORIGINAL 1968 UK TRACK DOUBLE LP 613008 / 09
Super Rare `Ghost` Blue text Laminate in near in very good condition on sleeve(pvc stored many years) see photos and PLEASE READ full description.....
Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarity and attraction to collectors
vinyls are "VCG PLUS" condition this has decent audio for 50!
Good copy, clear audio no skips or jumps on our Rega 3, would grade vinyls as very good plus condition , here is a nice original ( some surface lines hair scratches and removal scuffs ,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 "Ghost Blue Text" for around £450 in anything close to good condition, this is way better and real keeper, sleeve VGC vinyls are VGC plus. there are some lines on the vinyls , and general scuffing from use and sleeve removal over its 50 year life, test played with no skips or jumps on our 2 decks, audio is powerfull and punchy audio. A great buy FOR under 400 GBP.
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" Ghost Blue Text cover
Very Good Condition
Has the larger sepia photos of Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchel which only the `blue text` copies have. Only slight laminate creasing or the rear of the sleeve, front is very very clean , look at the great laminate condition in photos, no writing, names, stickers or tears, in great shape for 48 years! kept safe in its pvc sleeve for many years , its not perfect as this has been handled and is almost 50. gatefold pics and inside laminate very very clean. would grade the Sleeve as very good condition, there is tear on sleeve front corner at spine side see photo, the sleeve with laminate creasing , some fraying to spine `see photos` and historic tape removal at sides, its got wear from its 50 years but no writing, names, stickers , in VGC shape after 50 years! not perfect but its reflected in the BIN price for this super rare item.
The records
Label with side A and D on ONE disc NO ERROR!
Label B and C is labeled on same disc `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!
- NOTE we see many reports of "hey Ive got a rare press A and D..." (this is normal )
VGC plus A1 B2 and A2 B2 "Hand Etched and corrected"
This is very early in the run and great audio playback.
`there is no writing on labels` GREAT CONDITION , some spider trails but looking good see pictures....
great labels slight spindle marks plays clean, some light scartches only 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 very good plus order!
no writing stickers or names on labels.
has the original polydor (plastic bags can be dangerous) inners in good shape
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.
