The Jimi Hendrix Experience – 8 LP 180g Box set

$

71

This 8 LP box set was issued by Experience Hendrix, L.L.C in 2000.  The LPs are housed in a heavy box.  The front cover is covered with purple velvet with silver stamped lettering and a holographic picture of The Jimi Hendrix Experience. At the time this set was released, of the 56 tracks, 49 have never been commercially available. I’m not sure how many have been released in various other packages since then. The set begins with Hendrix’s 1966 recordings in Paris and continues up to his last sessions at Electric Ladyland Studios in 1970.   The records are in like new condition.  I purchased the set when it was released, cleaned it with a VPI record cleaner and treated it with Last record preservative.  I have only played it once. It also includes a 40 page booklet with detailed notes on each track. There is a superficial scuff/scratch on record one/side two/track one (Hey Joe) but it does not cause an audible tick.  All other records have no marks.
