This LP is in Stunning throughout!!! The vinyl has NO Scratches, No hairlines, NO Groovewear NO warping or blemishes of any kind!!!! It just has a light (non-sounding) fine waxy line on side 2 and a tiny pop on the final 30 seconds of side 1 - for a UK 1st Press Hendrix BOG to look & play like this is virtually impossible!!!! The thick quality pressed chunky 1970's vinyl looks and feels great (it is very heavy!). This vinyl grades as EX+!!!! The Classic black/silver Track Records Centre Labels are in superb condition!!!!! With NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind, they just have some stray spindle lines and that's it!!!! Hardly noticeable, but there nonetheless, and should be pointed out. The Centre spindle hole and gramophone rims are also mint!!!
This is a beautiful 1st press 'Puppet Sleeve' sleeve, the best I have come across (hence why it ended in my own collection) - it is in STUNNING EX condition!!!! This is super rare for this sleeve as, due to it not being laminated, most suffered severe damage. THIS ONE HAS NOT!!!! It retains ALL of its factory matt sheen!!!! It has virtually NO Ring wear, NO Tears, No Seam splitting, NO feathering of the opening edge, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! It is completely blemish free!!! The sleeve lies perfectly FLAT with and a good strong spine with perfectly legible spine text!!! If I was to be really fussy I could say that there is very very light wear along the bottom seam and a very light crease in the top right corner, but this is very minor and like I said before, I want to give you every detail of the record, no matter how small. The LP comes with its Original 1st Press 'Poly-lined windowed inner sleeve containing the correct Made In England and 'Patent No's' Text which is EX+!

In the 60's & 70's we didn't think to preserve our records, we were too busy being liberated! As such, you will find most of these albums (the few that remain) in very poor condition nowadays. This is due to a number of factors, i.e. age and bad handling/storage methods and general vinyl deterioration, not to mention the amount of parties they've attended! So to find one in such superb condition is a real rarity. What's more, the low starting price and no reserve status gives you a realistic chance of winning and owning this highly sought-after album. For any lover/Collector Hendrix or just important 60's & 70's Psych LPs in general, this is an absolutely essential album to have in your collection. It is also a true investment for the future as its price of this very rare LP will just rise and rise...

Good Luck! The UK Record Collector Grading System NAME GRADE INFORMATION Mint M Vinyl has just left the vinyl pressing machine and does not have any manufacturing flaws. It has never been handled and never played. Unless you work at the record plant, there is no such thing as mint! Record sleeves just left the pressing machine that made the sleeve. It has never been handled and a record has not been placed inside it which would deform it. Unless you work at the record plant, there is no such thing as mint! Near Mint NM Vinyl is virtually perfect. At most, perhaps a light scuff appears on the record. It should play without any noise or skips of any kind whatsoever. Record sleeve should look close to perfect with only minor signs of wear. The artwork should have no marks of any kind and there should be no "ring wear" (that is, the outline of the record inside should not show through the sleeve). Excellent EX or VG++ Vinyl should play with no skips of any kind. It should sound better than it looks. Often "Excellent" or "VG++" is a conservative version of "Near Mint." Perhaps some very minor surface scuffs, but again no effect on sound quality. Record sleeve might have some minor "ring wear" but otherwise the artwork should be unaffected. There should be no "ink wear" to the artwork. That is areas where the ink has worn down to the paper underneath. Perhaps some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams. Very Good Plus VG+ Vinyl will show wear including surface scuffs and some light scratches. Often, minor scuffs will be caused by the inner sleeve rubbing against the vinyl. If held up to a bright light, you will often see many tiny lines on the vinyl. Perhaps a few minor clicks or pops can be heard, but no deep scratches. Record sleeve should be clean, but slightly more aged. Perhaps some very small writing on the sleeve. The corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes popping through. Very Good VG Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well. Surface noise will probably be present including pops and clicks. At good volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present. Flaws should only be heard between tracks or on low volume passages. Record sleeve will look warn and used. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but most of the cover should still be in good condition. Good VG-/G+/G Vinyl looks well played, dull, and possibly not well taken care of. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of record. A rock record may still sound "good" at high volume whereas a slower styles of music will sound terrible. Record sleeve may have many problems including seam splits, writing, taped repairs. However some of the artwork will still be visible. There can't be large tears and gouges in the cover. Fair/Poor F/P Doesn't meet the lowest standards for "good". At this point, the vinyl is difficult to listen to. The only reason to keep it would be due to extreme rarity or to fill a good sleeve until a better copy of the vinyl comes along. Doesn't meet the lowest standards for "good". The sleeve is torn, bent, and shows a very high level of wear. Attempts to tape the sleeve have made it worse. The only reason to keep the sleeve would be due to extreme rarity or to protect a good copy of the vinyl until a better sleeve comes along.
