BOTH SETS ARE THE EARLIEST VERSIONS WITH CORRECTIONS TO THE MATRICES

ONE SET IS THE VERY FIRST HEAVILY CORRECTED VERSION WITH HAND SCRIBED 613009!!!

GOOD+/VERY GOOD CONDITION ALL ROUND(see below)

FOR AUCTION HERE IS MY ORIGINAL COPY OF THE ICONIC "ELECTRIC LADYLAND" COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL NUDES COVER AND VERY FIRST PRESS VINYLS, WITH ANOTHER SET OF ORIGINAL VINYLS THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE! I HAVE FINALLY GOT HOLD OF THE MOST PERFECT COPY I COULD FIND (paid a fortune but hey, you only live once!), SO I'M LETTING MY ORIGINAL GO WITH ANOTHER SET OF VINYLS THAT I CAME ACROSS OVER THE YEARS.

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTIONS BELOW, BUT IN ESSENCE, THE SLEEVE IS IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN FIXED UP A BIT(still pretty good though), THE ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESS SET OF MULTI CORRECTED MATRICE VINYLS THAT CAME WITH IT ARE IN WELL PLAYED, GOOD CONDITION, THE EXTRA SET OF FIRST PRESS CORRECTED VINYLS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. BOTH SETS PLAY THRU FROM START TO FINISH WITHOUT JUMPING, SKIPPING OR STICKING.

SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL TRACK RECORDS SLEEVE RETAINS A BEAUTIFUL GLOSSY SHEEN ON ALL SURFACES. IT IS THE WHITE WRITING VERSION WITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND COVER BY DAVID KING. THERE IS EDGE WEAR AND THE SPINE HAS BEEN SYMPATHETICALLY REPAIRED INSIDE AND OUT WITH GLOSSY TAPE WHICH BLENDS WELL WITH THE COVER. IN MY OPINION A VERY GOOD REPAIR. THERE ARE NO PEN MARKS, STICKERS OR RIPS AT ALL. ITS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE AS WHEN YOU READ THAT A SLEEVE HAS BEEN TAPE REPAIRED YOU ALWAYS FEAR THE WORST, BUT THIS SLEEVE IS PRETTY GOOD, REALLY! THIS IS NOT JUST A TATTY OLD COLLECTION FILLER, WHILST ITS NOT MINT, IT IS A WELL USED BUT DECENT ADDITION IN MY OPINION.

ORIGINAL VINYLS

TWO LOVELY HEAVY SLABS OF ORIGINAL VINYL, TRACK RECORD LABELS, IN GOOD CONDITION. THEY HAVE BEEN WELL PLAYED OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE MANY SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES WHICH RESULT IN CRACKLING AND THE ODD CLICK, BUT NOT ANY JUMPING, STICKING OR SKIPPING. I HAVE PLAYED BOTH VINYLS THROUGH DURING THE WRITING OF THIS LISTING AND YOU DEFINITELY GET TO ENJOY THE WHOLE, ORIGINAL RECORDING, IN ITS ENTIREITY. THE LABELS ARE BLACK WITH NICE, BRIGHT SILVER TEXT, THERE IS SPIDERING BUT NO SPINDLE WEAR. THERE ARE NO PEN MARKS OR STICKERS. THIS SET THAT ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THIS SLEEVE, ARE THE FAMOUS VERY FIRST PRESSINGS WITH THE MULTIPLE CORRECTIONS TO THE MATRICES, MADE BY THE SOUND ENGINEERS AND ON SUBSEQUENT RELEASES, FULLY MACHINE STAMPED. I WILL OUTLINE THE MATRICES BELOW..

SIDE A

MACHINE STAMPED 613008 (8 scratched out) HAND SCRIBED 9 (scratched out) HAND SCRIBED 8,  A//1   1 2- LOOKS LIKE 61300##8 A//1       1   2

SIDE D

MACHINE STAMPED 613009 (9 scratched out) HAND SCRIBED 8,  B//1   1- LOOKS LIKE THIS 61300#8 B//1        1

SIDE B

MACHINE STAMPED 613008 (8 scratched out) HAND SCRIBED 9, HAND SCRIBED A, SCRATCHED OUT B//1  1 3 LOOKS LIKE  61300#9 A#//1      1   3

SIDE C

HAND SCRIBED 613009  B FOLLOWED BY  MACHINE STAMPED 613008 8 A (all scratched out) THEN //1  1 1 9 LOOKS LIKE 613009B ########//1       1   1   9

THOSE MATRICES ARE GENERALLY RECOGNISED AS THOSE WHICH WERE PRESENT ON THE VERY FIRST RECORDS OFF THE PRESS, WHICH CONTAINED MANY STAMPING ERRORS AND HAD TO BE CORRECTED BY THE SOUND ENGINEERS FOR LATER PRESSINGS. IN FACT, EVEN THE NEXT SET OF EARLY PRESSINGS CONTAINED MISTAKES, WHICH IS WHAT THE OTHER SET OF VINYLS I'M OFFERING HERE HAVE.

LIKE I SAID, I'VE JUST PLAYED THESE TWO THROUGH AND APART FROM THE CRACKLING AND VISUAL CONDITION, THEY SOUND GREAT.

EXTRA VINYLS

ANOTHER TWO NICE HEAVY SLABS OF ORIGINAL VINYL. THESE TWO ARE IN BETTER VISUAL CONDITION THAN THE OTHERS, THERE ARE FAR LESS SCUFFS AND LINES, AND THE VINYL HAS A NICE GLOSSY SHEEN. THEY BOTH PLAY THRU WITH ONLY SOME VERY SLIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE HERE AND THERE AND ONE OR TWO CLICKS,(some heavy clicking at start of title track for a few lines) THERE IS NO STICKING, JUMPING OR SKIPPING. BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT, THERE IS SPIDERING BUT NO SPINDLE WEAR AND NO PEN MARKS OR STICKERS. THESE TWO RECORDS CAN BOTH BE ENJOYED WITH ORIGINAL AUDIO PLAYBACK.

THE FIRST PRESS CORRECTED MATRICES ARE AS FOLLOWS...

SIDE A

61300##8 A// 1      1  2 (where a machine 8 and a hand 9 have been scratched out, & replaced with hand scribed 8)

SIDE D

61300#8 B//1         1 (where a machine 9 has been replaced with a hand scribed 8)

SIDE B

61300#9 A #//1      1  2  1  4 (where a machine 8 is replaced with a hand 9 and a machine B is replaced with a hand A)

SIDE C

61300#9#B#//1      1  2  1 (where a machine 8 is replaced with a hand 9, a hand 8 is scratched out and a machine A is replaced with a hand B).

AS YOU CAN SEE THESE VINYLS ARE ALSO ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSINGS, AND PLAYBACK IS GREAT.

THERE YOU GO THEN, AN ORIGINAL COPY OF THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE "ELECTRIC LADYLAND", RELEASED ON UK TRACK RECORDS, WITH THE ICONIC NUDES COVER, AND TWO SETS OF ORIGINAL AND VERY FIRST PRESS VINYLS. I SUPPOSE I COULD DOUBLE MY MONEY AND SELL THE EXTRA VINYLS ON THEIR OWN AS A SET WITHOUT A SLEEVE BUT I REALLY CANT BE BOTHERED, SO THE WINNING BIDDER COULD GET A DOUBLE WHAMMY HERE AND DECIDE WHICH SET THEY WANT TO KEEP AND SELL THE OTHERS THEMSELVES. WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, THE WINNING BIDDER WILL RECEIVE A PRETTY DECENT ORIGINAL COPY OF THIS ALBUM, IN GOOD PLAYABLE CONDITION, IN A NICE GLOSSY SLEEVE, WHICH DESPITE IT HAVING BEEN FIXED UP A LITTLE, WILL PLEASANTLY SURPRISE THE NEW OWNER I'M SURE.

VERY LOW START PRICE, YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY AND GRAB YOURSELF AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN HERE, BID WITH CONFIDENCE, CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK, LP WILL BE SENT SECURELY IN A PROPER MAILER.
