No is 613 008/9 on the Track labels (see picture) and is a UK 1968 Stereo 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Jimi Hendrix Experience at their best!!!! Any fan of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, or 60s/70s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The early MATT Track record labels on BOTH records are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records are in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  I will visually grade each record one at a time - with an overall (play/visual) grade at the end.  Record 1 has NO scratches, 1 hairline, 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Record 1 must grade visually Very Good++ if not better!!!!  Record 2 has NO scratches, 2 small marks, NO hairlines, 2 or 3 light scufflines and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK - AS NEW!!!!  It is great to find that BOTH records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  ALL sides play STUNNINGLY with NO nasty loud pops, only a VERY few low level clicks in a VERY few places, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle/background noise (apart from a slight touch on the run on grooves)!!!!  The records must overall grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The records also come in their ORIGINAL inner sleeves which are in BRILLIANT 'unsplit' condition!!!! The 1st Press 'Blue Text' Gatefold E.J.Day FULLY LAMINATED Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO creaselines across the cover (MEGA rare on this cover), only a few small light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Eeven the laminated inside of the cover has NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, and NO wear!!!!  The laminate is also VERY shiny with only slight glazing on the cover front/back (NOT nasty heavy dull glazing), and NONE on the inside (PERFECT shiny laminate)!!!!  It is VERY hard to find a 1st Press cover in this condition and it must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH A MEGA RARE 1ST PRESS 'BLUE TEXT' COVER!!!!  AND THIS ONE IS MILES BETTER THAN THE USUAL 'TRASHED' EXAMPLES THAT USUALLY TURN UP AND IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!! SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
