Description
Welcome to Cannonball Vinyl Records,
jimi hendrix electric ladyland; very first pressing; this is one of the most sought after albums of all times; groundbreaking proposition that changed the landscape of rock music forever; Jimi's masterpiece; it's commonly excepted that the blue lettering is the indication of the very first run off the presses; A1, B1 matrix, hand corrected on the run off groove; mint copies, which are virtually impossible to obtain, go for thousands of dollars; this one is not mint but not a wreck either, very well looked after, in very decent shape; just like with all other auctions we will start at $9 dollars to give everybody good crack at it because there's always a chance that those two blokes with most cash to spend might be stuck in a traffic jam or .... a pub at the end of the auction.... we've taken plenty of photos to show the cover and the records at every possible angle; enjoy the auction;
RECORDs VG+ retaining deep, original lustre; no scratches; there are scuff marks that are audible in a calmer moments but it's not as bad as it might sound from the description; we've played both records back to back ... several times, we couldn't get enough of it; the sound is stunning; psychedelic intro to one of the records is positively scary in a its psychedelic manner; 'all along the watchtower' sounds great, just like the rest of the songs; records have not been professionally cleaned so if they're given proper attention, the sound might improve from brilliant to much better than that;
COVER vG+ gatefold is intact; spine is in very decent shape, as per photos; there's some edge and corner wear; there's some crinkling to the laminate a the front but otherwise it's in terrifice shape; there's only a light surface wear; please see the pictures;
U.K. print
