JIMI HENDRIX Electric Ladyland UK 1968 🩶white Ghost Text🩶 1st pressing
VERY EARLY A//1, B//1, A//1 A//1 matrixes, with the usual partially corected matrix lines, as present on all 1st pressings.
Has the controversial album cover featuring naked women that was quickly banned. Even more rare as this item has the sought after black and white "Track Record" label not the later orange Polydor one!
Background...
Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the final studio album released before Hendrix's death in 1970. A double album, it was the only record from the Experience produced by Hendrix. The band's most commercially successful release and its only number one album, it was released by Reprise Records in the United States on October 16, 1968, and by Track Records in the UK nine days later. By mid-November, it had reached number one on the U.S. charts, spending two weeks there. In the UK it peaked at number six, where it spent 12 weeks on the chart
Both vinyl discs are in nice condition for age, all sides have a lovely glossy sheen and sit flat without warping. The labels and spindle holes are good. There are multiple insignificant sleeve removal signs and non feelable surface lines. All in all its not bad at all, was quite pleasantly surprised at how good the vinyls were considering the outer gatefold could be better. A tiny 5mm score to side A. Spindle trails can be seen at an angle.
The much sought after outer cover is in has the rare and much sought after WHITE GHOST TEXT. Has age related wear /discolouration to the corners/edges/spine and film crinkles etc. Has seen better days with a spine repair and penmanship.
Includes x2 patent protective inners.
Taking all into consideration, an invaluable and RARE piece to add to your collection!!!
Will package securely and post via signed for delivery.
