Historic performances recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival 16,17, 18 June 1967
Jimi Hendrix performed on the final evening of the festival, June 18, 1967. Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, who did not perform at the festival, introduced The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Hendrix was almost entirely unknown in America at that time but was very well known amongst the rock stars of London, where he had been playing club gigs and recruiting the members of his trio.
Otis Redding was at the pinnacle of his career at that time. He was booked as the closing act on the Saturday night of the festival, June 17, 1967. Otis came to the stage following a set by his backup band, Booker T. & the MG's. However, Otis' high charged performance ran into a time limit under the festival's permit, resulting in his having time to perform only 5 short songs. Otis died less than 6 months later.
THE OUTER SLEEVE - VG+ / EX MINUS
THE OUTER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER OVER THE YEARS. THE SPINE IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION AND THE TITLE IS VERY MUCH READABLE. THERE ARE VERY MINOR CREASES IN THE LAMINATE OUTER SLEEVE. THERE IS MINIMAL SHELF WEAR AND RING WEAR. THERE IS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SIGNATURE ON THE BACK BUT HARDLY NOTICEABLE DUE TO THE BLACK COLOUR. I HAVE GRADED THE OUTER SLEEVE AS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN VG+ AND EX MINUS.
THE VINYL - VG / VG+
THE VINYL IS PRESSED ON THICK 150 GRAM BLACK VINYL, THE RECORD IS STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND FREE OF WARPING. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF INK. THERE IS MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR AND NEXT TO NO SPIDER MARKS ON THE LABEL. THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ITS GLOSSY FINISH, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LIGHT MARKS ON THE VINYL BUT AFTER A TEST PLAY I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT DOES NOT DRAMATICALLY AFFECT PLAYBACK. THERE IS THE ODD SURFACE NOISE IN THE QUIETER SECTIONS. IT PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO NOTICEABLE POPS CLICKS OR JUMPS. A VERY RESPECTABLE COPY OF A HARD TO FIND ALBUM.
AS WITH ALL MY PURCHASES I OFFER A FULL REFUND POLICY. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY RETURNS POLICY.
