`JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE` ELECTRIC LADYLAND Double LP

Original 1968 FIRST ISSUE U.K. stereo pressing released on the Track Record label 613008 / 613009.

DESCRIPTION;

VERY RARE and very hard to find first issue pressing of Electric Ladyland.

Contains the BLUE LETTERING on the inside of the gatefold sleeve together with the larger photos of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding.

Note! (Later Track label pressings had the text in white with smaller photos).

Original first pressing Track labels such as this one have a slightly different texture to the paper, but the single most important difference between the first and later Track and Polydor pressings is the catalogue number on the label (SEE PHOTO). 

On the left side of the centre hole, the catalogue number is repeated above the bold silver print in small printing, inverted in a bracket, i.e. upside down. In other words it can be read regardless of which way up you see the record. Those bracketed catalogue numbers end with a capital "A" or "B" per side on both record labels and this is only found on the very first pressing.

Plus Matrix numbers are;

Side A, 61300##8A//1  (8 Handwritten, # = Scratched Out)

Side D, 61300#8  B//1  (8 Handwritten, # = Scratched Out)

Side C, 613009 B (all Handwritten)  ########## //1  (original number scratched out).

Side B, 61300#9A# 1 (9A Handwritten)

CONDITION VINYL;

Side A is in Very Good condition.

Side D is in Very Good condition.

Side B is in Very Good condition.

Side C is in Very Good condition.

Note! All sides do have surface marks and the occasional light scratches but do not detract from listening.

CONDITION OUTER SLEEVE;

The legendary "nude" laminated gatefold sleeve is in overall VG condition. There are only a couple of light creases in the laminate and light general wear, with one slight tear on the back central (see photo) which is 1” or 2.5cm long.

CONDITION INNER SLEEVES; 

The inner white sleeves sides A&D original poly lined, creasing but not ripped, B&C original lost replaced with normal white sleeve.

CONDITION LABELS;

The labels have a flat black matt finish with silver print and are all in very good condition.  There is virtually no spindle wear at all on both records.

 I have been as honest as I can with the information before, but if there is something I have missed or if there are any other questions please feel free to email me, happy bidding.

HOW I HAVE GRADED

Mint (M)

A record in mint condition should be in perfect, brand new condition. There should be no evidence of wear and tear, and the vinyl should show no signs of having being repeatedly played.

Near Mint (NM)

As the name implies, a near mint record should be almost perfect. The vinyl should show no more than the most minor of defects and the sleeve should be practically flawless. Typically, a record in Near Mint condition would be Mint but for possibly one small defect, maybe a minor surface abrasion on the vinyl or a tiny crease on the sleeve.

Excellent (EX)

A record in Excellent condition will show signs of use in that there will be some light scratches or surface abrasions on the vinyl, but this will not affect the sound quality in any way. The sleeve may have some tiny amounts of scuffing or have some small creasing in the corner tips.

Very Good (VG)

A record in Very Good condition will have numerous light scratches or scuffs on the vinyl, but it should still play without noticeable deterioration of the sound quality. The sleeve may have a small split, or have noticeable scuffing and creasing along the edges. The label may be slightly discoloured and some ring wear may be visible.

Good (G)

An record in Good condition can be played without hopping or skipping, but there may be some hissing or extra surface noise. The sleeve will have some seem splits, scuffing, creasing, and may also be discoloured. Ring wear may well be visible and inner sleeves may show signs of wear and tear.

Fair (F)
A record in Fair condition can still probably be played, but the sound quality will not be good, possessing surface noise and bad scratches. The outer and inner sleeve will be badly worn, creased or torn.

Poor (P)

A record in poor condition may be unplayable in that the vinyl may be cracked, warped, or have several deep scratches. The sleeve may be torn, split, badly creased or have been defaced or written on. The inner sleeves may be unoriginal or missing.
