Dave King Track UKs artistic director reportedly arranged these shots in the original World Famous Camden Roundhouse London the models were paid cash on the day as the story goes. Jimi apparently was not best pleased with the cover but it now has many followers so.....over to the buyers and fans.
Super Rare `Ghost` Blue text Laminate in Excellent condition sleeve(pvc stored many years) very clean spine see photos and clean corners
Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarity and attraction to collectors vinyls are "NR Excellent" condition
this has awesome audio for 50!
Good copy, clear audio no skips or jumps on our Rega 3, would grade as Near Excellent condition , here is a real beauty ( some light surface lines hair scratches and removal scuffs which don't affect playback) some static in quieter passages which may improve with a professional clean.side C has scuff scrape marks see photos, they don't affect playback, we have highlighted these which look more serious than they are, for audio no issues on playback.
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 ...
This double album often sells now with "Blue Text" for over 700 gbp in anything close to EXCELLENT condition, this is A real keeper, sleeve EX vinyls are Near Excellent so for around 550 gbp its yours, There are some lines on the vinyls ,no skips or jumps, audio is powerfull and punchy audio.
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
Excellent Condition
Has the larger sepia photos of Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchel which only the `blue text` copies have. This sleeve is super rare in this shape it also has the rarer `Ghost Text` below the Blue,
Please look at the words `Merman` and `Midnight Lamp` on the tracklisting, YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES the White is `Ghosting` through under the Blue super rare
With very only slight laminate creasing or the rear of the sleeve, front is very very clean , very nice spine very little wear no fraying or tears, look at the great laminate condition in photos, no writing, names, stickers or tears, in great shape for its 50 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.
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 stacking 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 )
Near EX 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` Near EX CONDITION , some spider trails but looking good.
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, a few light 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!
no writing stickers or names on labels.
has the original polydor (plastic bags can be dangerous) inners in good shape, they are yellowed with age as 50 years old.
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!
