Description
JIMI HENDRIX - 'SMASH HITS'
This NEAR MINT UK 1st MONO pressing dates from initial April 1968 release and is on the black & silver Track label: 612004
Matrix numbers: 612004 A2 & 612004 B2
Vinyl weight: 146g
It is is housed in a front laminated 'MacNeill Press' printed mono cover, complete with its original poly-lined inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with no more than one or two faint spindle trails aside each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shines and are, apart from a single surface line (not a scratch), unmarked in strong daylight. Close inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals just a trace of inner-sleeve removal but no further blemishes or wear.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This barely played copy contains all the original mono mixes, without any groove/playwear or indeed any other audible faults or wear. In fact apart from a touch of normal/light background between tracks, there is nothing to fault audibly.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Strong & clean with a superb unscratched front panel laminate. There are several light wrinkles in the laminate but little, if any corner or opening edge wear. The rear panel is clean and both seams and the spine are unworn & undamaged.

GRADINGS
MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised, as Sealed or Unplayed will be mint.
EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks but there will be very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD + The record may have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only barely detectable crackles or pops. A slight noise at the beginning is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless. Definitely no scratches or gouges that a touch with a dry finger can feel. The cover may only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKED IN PROPER MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS
