NEWSAGENT'S DESCRIPTION

This listing is for a RARE 1968 promotional U.S. pressing of Electric Ladyland, the groundbreaking third and final studio album by legendary psychedelic rock innovators The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released by Reprise Records (2RS 6307).

Produced and directed by Jimi Hendrix himself, the album includes landmark recordings such as “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” “Crosstown Traffic,” “Burning of the Midnight Lamp,” and Hendrix’s iconic reinterpretation of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.” Released at the height of Hendrix’s creative peak and only two years before his death, Electric Ladyland remains one of the defining albums of psychedelic rock and late-1960s counterculture music.

This original promotional stereo edition features the iconic U.S. cover artwork, which differs dramatically from the controversial UK nude-cover edition and has since become one of the most recognizable psychedelic rock album covers of the era. The labels are marked “PROMOTION – NOT FOR SALE,” and the set was issued with the original Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Records inner sleeves commemorating the label’s tenth anniversary.

Promotional copies of Electric Ladyland were produced in significantly smaller quantities for radio station and industry distribution, making surviving copies increasingly rare. This copy comes from the original owner’s former radio station collection. The vinyl remains in very good condition, while the jacket shows some age and handling wear, including spine wear and ring wear, but still presents very well overall.
