Vintage LP Jimi Hendrix War Heroes 1972 Reprise MS 2103 Warner Bros RARE PROMO

$

43

This is my personal copy of this White Label Promotional LP of the Jimi Hendrix album "war heroes." The album was recorded between April, 1967 and July 1970 and released in the US on October 1, 1972.  It was the third album of mostly unreleased studio recordings to be issued after Hendrix's death. It's been in my collection and safely stored for 51 years.

The cover has some obvious wear. There is some chipping, cracking and shelf wear. As the saying goes, "you can't always judge a book by it's cover."

The original sleeve is VG+ with some wrinkling and yellowing from age. The vinyl is EX/NM. I would grade it Mint but I am going to be conservative. It was never out of the sleeve until I removed it for the photos, and obviously never on a turntable. You can be the first to spin it.

I am not a vinyl grading expert but feel these are accurately describe the condition. See the photos to judge for yourself and please bid accordingly.

The album will be shipped in an LP shipping box and will be marked Fragile and Handle with Care.

Questions? Let me know and I'll answer ASAP.

I have other vintage vinyl listed, please have a look.

Thanks for looking!

Grading Scale

M (MINT)

I will only consider something MINT if it is sealed ,unmarked/untouched.

Vinyl = No flaws, defects, marks or other indications of being handled or played.

Cover = Perfect cover; NO dings, marks, tears, dents, bends, creases or other flaws.

NM (NEAR MINT)

Vinyl = Almost flawless. Virtually no scuffs visible, certainly no scratches.

Cover = Cover should have little to no flaws.

EX (Excellent)

Vinyl = May have a couple tiny paper scuffs and/or a couple of light scratches, but nothing that would interfere with play or the sound quality.

Cover = Cover may have very minimal wear overall, any wear is slight and hardly noticeable.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS)

Vinyl = Some visible surface wear (scuffs and/or scratches that CANNOT be felt), which may have VERY MINIMAL impact on the sound quality.

Cover = Cover will show some wear and may have a bend and/or creases. There may be some ring wear and/or edge wear, but it doesn't overpower the artwork. No split seams/tape or records poking through the spine.

VG (VERY GOOD)

Vinyl = Scuffs and/or scratches will be more noticeable than a VG+ record and there may be one or two small scratches that can be felt. Surface noise should only occur occasionally (mostly between tracks, during quiet passages and where a small, felt scratch may exist).

Cover = Will have some of the same wear listed for a VG+ cover but more pronounced, with more noticeable ring wear and/or edge wear. May include name written somewhere, minor water mark, larger bends and/or creases and possibly a seam split.

G+ (GOOD PLUS)

Vinyl = Extensively played vinyl with some scratches that may be felt, probably causing SOME surface noise (hisses, pops, crackles).

Cover = Generally worn overall and will have several of the following flaws: full seam splits, writing, significant ring wear and/or edge wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, scuffs, seam repairs, heavy water damage, or other flaws.

G (GOOD)

Vinyl = More pronounced that G+, Extensively played vinyl with some large scratches that can be felt, causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, crackles).

Cover = Generally worn overall and will have several of the following flaws: full seam splits, writing, significant ring wear and/or edge wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, scuffs, seam repairs, heavy water damage, or other flaws.

P (POOR)

Vinyl = There will be major noise and possibly skips from extensive scratches that can be felt.

Cover = extensive water damage, split on 2 or more sides completely, illegible spine, etc. Poor means poor.
