Description
Hello, I am a long-time eBay seller - since October, 1999. I have a 100% feedback record, so bid and buy with confidence. I have collected records for many years and every record I offer comes from my personal collection. The grade I specify for the vinyl is based upon a playback as well as a visual inspection. The grade I assign for the cover and inserts (if any) is based upon a close visual inspection. My grading standards are conservative - I believe that it does no one any good to inflate the grade of the record only to have the buyer be disappointed upon receipt and wish to return it. I offer a full, no-questions-asked return policy on every record I sell except in very rare circumstances. In those rare cases, I clearly state the condition of the record and explain why I cannot accept a return on it.
For sale today is a great copy of the Are You Experienced album released in 1967 by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. This album is mastered in the rarer, and more desirable, mono format.
As to condition, the vinyl visually looks VG+. It lies flat, and retains much of its original sheen and shine. I grade it VG+ because of the presence of lines and scuffs here and there, none of which affect its play. Indeed, as to sound quality, it plays Near Mint. No sticks or skips, no pops. Also, there are no ticks other then about 10 seconds of a light tick (once per revolution) on the song May This be Love. With that exception, the album plays Near Mint and sounds fantastic. But, to be clear, while the album plays in Near Mint condition, visually it is definitely not in Near Mint shape. I stress this so the buyer is not disappointed upon receiving it.
The outer cover is in Near Mint condition. Colors are full and vibrant, front and back. All corners are sharp and square. Spine is full and complete, no splits or tears. In my experience, it is rare to find this cover in this kind of condition.
The labels are in Near Mint shape, as is the original inner sleeve.
Since I purchased this album, I have stored the vinyl in an archival inner sleeve, which I then placed in a separate cardboard cover to best protect both the vinyl as well as the original outer sleeve (see photo). Both the archival inner sleeve and the generic white outer cover will be included with the purchase and the record will be shipped in them to best protect the original outer cover as well as the vinyl.
All in all, a great example of this great album by the Jimi Hendrix in the scarce mono promo format! Thanks for looking.
