·       THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE - SMASH HITS – ORIGINAL BRITISH PRESSING – ORIGINAL 1969 TRACK RECORDS (UK) STEREO LP 613004

·       ORIGINAL U.K. PRESSING

·       ORIGINAL BRITISH PRESSING ON BLACK TRACK LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT AND FLAT (NON-GLOSSY), MATTE FINISH

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.K. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS BRITISH VERSION, WITH UNIQUE BRITISH TRACK LISTING WHICH INCLUDES ''STARS THAT PLAY WITH (L)AUGHING (S)AM'S (D)ICE". BECAUSE OF THE ALL-TOO TRANSPARENT REFERENCE TO L.S.D ('LAUGHING SAM'S DICE' IN ACRONYM), THE SONG WAS DROPPED FROM THE AMERICAN RELEASE -- NOT JUST THIS TITLE BUT EVERY AMERICAN LP FOR THE NEXT 35 YEARS. (IF YOU ASK US, THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST SONG JIMI HENDRIX EVER RECORDED; HOW IT MADE IT TO THE 'BEST-OF' RELEASE IS TRULY BEYOND ME; IT IS SO DREADFUL THAT I REGULARLY DEVELOP HEADACHES AND STOMACH CRAMPS PLAYING IT. IT REALLY HAS TO BE HEARD TO BE BELIEVED.  I GUESS EVEN GUITAR GODS MADE DREK ONCE IN AWHILE)

·       ORIGINAL, THIN CARDBOARD COVER (EUROPEAN STYLE)

·       ORIGINAL LAMINATED COVER

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

One of the first hits compilations assembled of Jimi Hendrix's catalog, Smash Hits remains one of the best, since it keeps its focus narrow and never tries to extend its reach. Basically, this album contains the songs everybody knows from Hendrix, drawing heavily from Are You Experienced?, plus adding the non-LP "Red House," "51st Anniversary," and "Highway Chile." Those non-LP selections may still make this worth seeking out, even if they've appeared on subsequent hits collections, but the main strength of Smash Hits is that it contains the best-known big-name songs in one place. Maybe not enough to make the collection essential, but still enough to make it a representative, accurate sampler.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT (APPEARS UNPLAYED, POSSIBLY PLAYED ONCE). The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record comes in the original poly-lined“Made in England” stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):
