Description
JIMI HENDRIX ELECTRIC LADYLAND ORIGINAL U.K 1968 TRACK 613008/9 DOUBLE ALBUM
THIS IS A GENUINE FIRST PRESSING AND BOUGHT ON DAY OF RELEASE!!
DESPITE MUCH CONTROVERSY, ONLY THE 'WHITE' WRITING AND THE 'SMALLER' PICTURES ARE THE TRUE INDICATION OF AN ORIGINAL PRESSING. FOR PROOF OF THIS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING WEB LINK AND MY DESCRIPTION
http://recordmecca.com/news/jimi-hendrixs-electric-ladyland-exposing-the-blue-type-hype/
IMPORTANT SPECIFICATIONS:-
Both discs have the labels with the matrix numbers printed upside down (See detail photos)
The matrix numbers, engraved on the vinyl, end with // 1
The original poly inners and paper outer sleeves are in very good condition. The outers have the blue text:- (PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS) plus ‘MADE?IN?ENGLAND’ and ‘109 41 & 42'.
Fully laminated gatefold cover sleeve printed by Ernest J. Day &?Co. Ltd. London, W11. It is in very good condition, it is glossy and reflective with no splits, tears or de-laminating. Corners and the opening edges have slight wear and a few minor creases (more from storage than from use).
I have owned this album from new and it has only been played a few times (realistically, no more than 3 or 4) on a high quality transcription deck. This is evident from the lack of ‘alignment’ marks around the centre spindle hole (see photos).
All four sides of the vinyl are in excellent condition (I?have now given each side one more play to check for any skips, jumps or warping before listing, and there are none).
This a really excellent example of an extremely rare, original pressing, TRACK album.
First Pressing - Important evidence:- There seems to have been much 'changing of mind' before coming to a final decision as to what the matrix numbers and letters were going to be, prior to the initial pressing. I have included a diagram of the matrix codes as they appear engraved in the vinyl on each side of the two discs. They are far too faint to photograph. It shows the sequence of alterations to the original numbers. All alterations were done by scratching into the 'stamper' or 'master' by hand. Alterations were made by scratching an X through the numbers to be changed, then adding a new hand written number alongside. On side C, virtually all the original numbers were scratched out and the whole number code re-written by hand. The labels are also unusual in having 'Side A backed up with 'Side D' and 'Side B' backed up with 'Side C'.
For those interested in checking additional identification information that is not either listed here or visible in the photos, please feel free to ask any questions via email and I will do my best to answer them.
Thank you for looking
