Description
THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE - ELECTRIC LADYLAND - TRACK 613-008/9. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK PRESSING FROM 1968 WITH THE THICK PRESS VINYL AND- MOST IMPORTANTLY- THE SMALL, INVERTED CATALOG NUMBER OVER THE LARGER CATALOG NUMBER ON THE LABELS. ONLY, ONLY, ONLY THIS VERSION IS THE FIRST PRESSING, OTHER PRESSINGS WITHOUT THE INVERTED NUMBERS ARE LATER PRESSINGS! ALSO, THE FIRST PRESSING OF THIS FAMOUS LP HAVE LARGER PHOTOS OF MITCH MITCHELL AND NOEL REDDING ON THE INSIDE COVER, WHICH HAS A HEAVIER LAMINATION THAN LATER PRESSINGS. ALSO (AND HERE IS WHERE THERE MAY BE SOME CONJECTURE) THE FIRST PRESSINGS HAVE BLUE LETTERING FOR THE INSIDE COVER TEXT. SOME INSIST THAT IS THE TRUE FIRST PRESSING, WHEREAS OTHERS INSIST BOTH THE WHITE LETTERING AND BLUE LETTERING WERE RELEASED CONCURRENTLY.
OK, SO...THIS COPY HAS THE COVER WITH WHITE LETTERING, HEAVILY LAMINATED AND THE CORRECT PHOTOS AND SEEMS IDENTICAL TO MY PERSONAL COPY THAT HAS THE BLUE LETTERING, SO I BELIEVE IT TO BE AN ORIGINAL. CONDITION IS ONLY VG+, WITH HEAVY CORNER DAMAGE WHICH CREASED THE LAMINATION, MAKING IT LOOK WORSE THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. THE TWO DISCS RATE A VG++ GRADE, WITH A FEW MINOR MARKS THAT CAUSE A LITTLE EXTRANEOUS NOISE HERE AND THERE. LABELS ARE VG+ WITH SOME MEDIUM SPINDLE MARKS. HAS THE WHITE POLY-LINED GENERIC UK INNERS.
OVERALL THIS IS A VERY DECENT COPY OF A REAL FIRST PRESSING OF ONE OF THE GREATEST LPs EVER. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD AN ACTUAL UK FIRST PRESSING OF ELECTRIC LADYLAND, YOU HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD IT. THE SONICS ARE SPECTACULAR! AND IT SHAMES EVERY OTHER VERSION I'VE HEARD. ALSO MAKES ME QUESTION WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT A MONO VERSION OF THIS LP... SO, CONSIDERING THE CONDITION, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET THIS COPY RELATIVELY INEXPENSVE. THIS IS A REALLY DECENT COPY THAT MAY VERY WELL CONVINCE YOU TO SPEND THE BIG BUCKS TO OWN A NM COPY! PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS.
