THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE
ELECTRIC LADYLAND
Track Record - 613008/9
No Outer Sleeve
If you're reading this listing then you already know what this is. The first cut, first press of Jimi Hendrix's classic album Electric Ladyland. This is one of the best sounding pieces of vinyl I've ever heard and is rightly referred to as one of the holy grails of record collecting. It's obviously been looked after over the years, and while it's obviously been played a few times there's no major surface noise, no scratches, marks or anything else that effects playback. It's a good quality, loud copy and is in excellent condition considering its age. Sadly, the outer sleeve has gone missing over the years so this auction is for the vinyl only, however it does come with the original inners.
The vinyl: First release, 1st pressing 180 gram vinyl with original 'high-dynamic' mix. Produced in auto-coupled sequence;
Disc 1: 613008 Side A; Cat# (613008 A) [inverted over 613008]
Disc 1: 613008 Side D; Cat# (613008 B) [inverted over 613008]
Disc 2: 613009 Side B; Cat# (613009 A) [inverted over 613009]
Disc 2: 613009 Side C; Cat# (613008 B) [inverted over 613009]
Defect in matrix stamping on this early issue, altered by hand. This typical vinyl is:
Side A: 61300##8 A//1 12 10
Side D: 51 61300#8 B//1 1
Side B: 10 61300#9 A#//1 1 ("10" has the '1' backwards, or it's an oddly stamped "CJ" upside down)
Side C: 61300#9 #B#//1 12 10
[The #, #8 or #9 indicates scratch-out]
Matt texture 'Version 1' labels with additional inverted catalog in parenthesis.
[V1 & V2 label comparisons provided at foot in 'images']
Titles: This UK issue has no suffix to "Come On", "The" is prefixed to "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" and "Cross Town" appears as two words.
