THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE

"AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE" 1968 US MONO LP, REPRISE R-6281! 

THE RAREST COMMERCIALLY RELEASED AMERICAN JIMI HENDRIX LP OF THEM ALL. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF TRUE RARITY, THIS MAKES THE UK MONO AXIS LOOK LIKE A COMMON, EVERY DAY, NO BIG DEAL BUNCH OF NOTHING.

INTERESTINGLY, THE MONO US PRESSING DID NOT COME OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE STEREO PRESSING IN 1967. THERE ARE NO 'TRI-COLOR RIVERBOAT' LABEL MONO COPIES. THIS FOR WHATEVER REASON WAS CONTEMPORARY WITH THE 2-TONE "ARE YOU EXPERIENCED" AND THE FIRST PRESSINGS OF "ELECTRIC LADYLAND". WHY IS ANYONE'S GUESS, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT IT WAS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT EVEN IN IT'S DAY, SINCE MONO HAD ALREADY GONE OUT THE WINDOW IN AMERICA BEGINNING IN LATE 1967 AND EARLY 1968.

WE HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF US WHITE LABEL PR0M0 COPIES OF THIS OVER THE YEARS, AND OF COURSE THE CANADIAN PRESSING WHICH WHILE MANY PEOPLE LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSE AT IT, IS ALSO RARE AND QUITE WORTHY OF MUCH MORE RESPECT THAN IT GETS! THAT IS WHERE THE DESIRABLE TR-COLOR LABEL MONO PRESSING WAS DONE AND IT IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT. ALSO, WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COPIES OF THE UK TRACK MONO. OVERALL I DON'T THINK I AM EXAGGERRATING WHEN I TELL YOU THAT OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE HAD PROBABLY 2-3 DOZEN US WHITE LABEL MONO & UK STOCK MONO'S AND HALF A DOZEN NICE CANADIAN COPIES.

THE NUMBER OF US STOCK COPIES WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST 20 YEARS? 

TWO.  

I HAVE PLAYED THIS FROM START TO FINISH AND IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT WITH ONE EXCEPTION, I WILL DESCRIBE AT THE END OF THIS. THERE IS SOME MINOR LIGHT SURFACE NOISE HERE & THERE, MOST OBVIOUS BETWEEN TRACKS OF COURSE, SOME OF WHICH I'M SURE WOULD GO AWAY WITH A GOOD VPI CLEANING. THE PLAYING SURFACES HAVE LIGHT TO MODERATE GENERAL PLAY WEAR AND NUMEROUS BUT SUPERFICIAL SCUFFS, SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES, ETC. THE VARIOUS MARKS AND PLAY WEAR ARE OBVIOUS BUT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY OTHER THAN TO PRODUCE SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISE, SOME LIGHT TICKS & POPS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, A BIT MORE ON SIDE 2 THAN SIDE 1, BUT ALSO FAR LESS THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT SIMPLY FROM A VISUAL EXAM.

THE BUGGABOO IS THAT AFTER PLAYING AND SOUNDING FINE ALL THE WAY, AT THE VERY END OF "BOLD AS LOVE" WHERE THE PHASED DRUMS BRING THE SONG BACK IN FROM THE BREAK FOR THE FADE-OUT THERE IS A TEENY TINY LITTLE SCRATCH THAT GOES ACROSS 2 REVOLUTIONS AT AN ANGLE THAT MAKES MY TONE-ARM STICK (AT 1 GRAM). IT PLAYED THROUGH IT ONCE WITH A POP AND STUCK AGAIN THE NEXT TIME THE SCRATCH CAME AROUND, TWICE IN THE SAME LITTLE SPECK. IF YOU ARE A WIZARD AT FIXING TINY LITTLE MARKS LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE BASICALLY AN AMAZING LP FROM START TO FINISH. SINCE I MYSELF DON'T WANT TO WORK ON IT TO ANY FURTHER POTENTIAL DETRIMENT, I WILL LEAVE IT AS IS AND SELL IT AS SUCH.

THIS SUCKER IS MEGA-RARE AND OTHERWISE SOUNDS VERY GOOD WITH A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE. INCREDIBLY HEAVY MUSICALLY AND ULTRA-HEAVY COLLECTIBLY.
