This is a 1968 UK pressing of Electric Ladyland with the fully laminated 'naked ladies' Ernest J Day 1st pressing gatefold cover.
Cover: E J Day fully laminated gatefold cover with the blue text on the inner gatefold and the larger photos of Mitch & Noel. This is the earliest pressing with the Track 613008/9 catalogue number inside the gatefold. The blue text pressings were difficult to read and were withdrawn shortly after release and replaced with white text which was easier to read. The later pressings also reduced the size of the Noel and Mitch photos.
No writings/doodles or stickers or sellotape. The front cover and inside has some laminate light creasing and the spine has light wear. There is some wear to the edges. Not mint but rates as Excellent for a 41 year old cover. Comes with the original poly-lined inner sleeves dated 1968.
Vinyl: Play tested. Nice sheen and the vinyl generally looks to be VG+ with some feathering and light non-feelable scratches. Plays Near Excellent overall - with individual tracks playing between VG and Excellent. No skips/jumps on my system. Some light crackle and some clicks in places - noticeable more during the quieter tracks and between tracks. Not mint but a very respectable and highly listenable copy.
Labels: Has Sides A&D on one LP and sides B&C on the other. Inverted catalogue numbers on left hand side above the regular catalogue number - only 1st pressings had this. All labels are excellent with no names, doodles, writings or stickers.
