Otis Redding-Jimi Hendrix - Monterey Int’l Pop Festival-Blues Rock-Soul Vinyl LP

This recording is subtitled “Historic Performances Recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival”.  That almost understates the significance of these two performances at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.  That was the first of the major rock festivals.  It occurred in June 1967 and drew over 200,000 people.  It was the forerunner to other major festivals, including Woodstock. These two performers highlighted the event. Side one features the Jimi Hendrix Experience.  Very few people in the US even knew of the guitar virtuoso at that time. He was already well known in England, but this was his US debut with the Experience. The result truly was historic. This album features four amazing tracks by the band. Imagine the stunned crowd when he starts producing sounds out of his guitar never heard before. And then… he burns it! The crowd was clearly in awe. Then, side two is all Otis Redding, who was the headliner and final performer at the festival. While Hendrix was an unknown at the time, Redding was at the peak of his career. He only performed five songs at the festival, all of which are captured here. They are all scintillating. You swear the man has not one drop of energy left in his body at the end of this performance. The album was released on Reprise in 1970, number MS 2029. This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches and one light paper scuff on side two. It plays beautifully with just very light sporadic background noise and a couple of tics on side two. There are initials written on each label. The vinyl grades VG. The album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear including a two inch split on the spine side of the bottom seam that extends three inches up the spine. The spine has significant scraping. There are light brown stains on the front. There is age wear. The original label inner sleeve is included and has a split on the bottom seam. The cover grades G.

Grading Information:

I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.  <p> I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.  Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:

The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $5.50 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it!  Shipping will be $5.50 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. If you also happen to win one or more 7” records, those will be shipped separately to keep all records in appropriately sized mailers.

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $24. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $30.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
