Item Description:

JIMI HENDRIX: 'Cry of Love' LP

Reprise 2034/RCA Record Club R104240 LP, made in US, dated 1971. Album is play graded.

Record: VG+, with a few light scratches that produce light noise at the end of "Night Bird Flying", throughout "My Friend" and briefly during "Belly Button Window"; otherwise no noise issues. No warps, skips, scuffs, needle trails or other signs of wear. Labels are good, with a few light spindle marks.
Cover: VG, with moderate to heavy ring wear, moderate wear on the bottom edge, bent/worn corners and a former owner's name written in ink on the back.

This is a copy of the first posthumous Jimi Hendrix album 'The Cry of Love'. Even though it's basically a collection of completed and near-finished studio tracks that were recorded prior to his death, 'Cry of Love' holds together quite nicely as an album. Includes some fine songs, like "Freedom", "Angel" and "Drifting"

This is a rare RCA Record Club issue with an orange/tan Reprise/W7 logo "steamboat" label. It comes with an original Reprise printed paper record sleeve. A cool item for Hendrix fans and/or RCA Record Club LP collectors. 

A NOTE ABOUT GRADING

All records are graded using the 'Goldmine' grading system, applied conservatively. Grading is as follows:

M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.

NM = NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric sheets, posters, etc.

NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.

VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs, very light scratches or slight warps that don't significantly affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut.

VG = VERY GOOD. Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise will be evident upon playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags. Other signs of wear may also be evident.

VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS. Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear. Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.
