Description

UK TRACK 1968 first press - BLUE TEXT!! - with fully laminated gatefold sleeve with E.J. Day credit and inner blue text. This 1st press has up-side down catalogue numbers and #1 matrix endings in the runout groove on each of the four sides.The Awesome dbl. LP Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix. It is the Original 1968 UK Stereo 1st Pressing of this classic record. On 1st press Track labels with upside-down cat numbers the fully laminated 1st press 'Banned' Ernest J. Day gatefold sleeve with the all important larger pictures of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding (these pictures were shrunk on all later pressings) and blue inner text (text was white on all later pressings). 
Original Track UK pressings of this record are impossible to find, they dried up years ago. There are plenty of Polydor reissue copies still about, and even one or two later 'white text' Track second pressings, but the UK Track Record 1st pressing with the original blue text E. J. Day sleeve and upside down cat number labels is the true original.
The arrival of a 2013 baby means I, regrettably, have to sell this very collectable all-time classic record - I'm going to buy it again in the future when I hopefully have money again! 18 years from now?
