ELECTRIC LADYLAND

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER ALBUMS. NOT ONLY IS IT ORIGINAL BUT IT IS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITH BLUE TEXT ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD, AND INVERTED CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE LABELS. ALSO HAS THE VERY FIRST COMPLEXED MATRIX NUMBERS WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW !!!!! 

THE AUDIO ON THIS EARLIEST PRESS IS OUTSTANDING, AND YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT AWAY, AS IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND SHARP, AND FAR SUPERIOR TO THE LATER PRESSES !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS .

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED WITH BLUE TEXT INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co, Ltd,. LONDON, W.11. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID WITH NOTHING TO REPORT, WITH JUST A SMALL RUB ON EACH CORNER :: THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THERE ARE SOME LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES AND TWO LONGER ONES IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THE BACK HAS A LAMINATE CREASE LINE IN BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AND THERE IS SOME LIGHT RING WEAR TO THE FRONT AND BACK SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LAMINATE CREASE LINES, BUT OVERALL VERY NICE INDEED !!! THE PIECES OF PAPER ARE THERE TO COVER UP THE LADIES BITS, SO YOU WILL NOT GET THE LITTLE BITS OF PAPER, HA HA !!! SO A VERY NICE SOLID COVER, AND WAY OVER AVERAGE FOR THIS COVER, AS THERE ARE NO RIPS, SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING, SO I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- . 

VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO SERIOUS AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, AND IN FACT THERE IS NOTHING LOUD OR INTRUSIVE AND NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTEN PLEASURE. THERE ARE SOME BITS OF FAINT STATIC, WHICH HAVE NO REAL IMPACT , AND I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW. AGAIN DUE TO THE RARITY AND HOW COLLECTABLE THIS ALBUM IS, I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SIDE A :: TRACK 1 :: THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START ON QUIET INTRO, AND A BIT MORE AT THE VERY END .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 3 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START ON QUIET INTRO, AND A BIT MORE A BIT FURTHER IN AND THREE FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 4 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC ON THE RUN OFFS .

SIDE B :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 2 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 3 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC ON THE QUIET INTRO .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

SIDE C :: TRACK 1 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START. 

TRACK 2 :: HAS THREE SOFT MUFFLED TICKS JUST AFTER THE START AND SOME FAINT STATIC IN THE LONG QUIET SECTION AT THE END .

TRACK 3 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START AND THREE FAINT TICKS .

SIDE D :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 4 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START AND A BIT MORE ON THE RUN OFFS .

AND THAT'S IT. SO IF YOU READ IT AGAIN IT IS NOT THAT BAD, AND THERE IS NOTHING SERIOUS, LOUD OR INTRUSIVE. BUT THE VISUAL IS NOT THE BEST, AS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND QUITE A LOT OF FINE COSMETIC HAIRLINES. THERE ARE ALSO SOME FINE THIN COSMETIC SCUFF LINES. THESE ALL DISAPPEAR WHEN ANGLED AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE IS A SLIGHTLY FEELABLE LINE ON THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE C, WHICH CAUSES THOSE THREE FAINT TICKS. THESE JUST HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT ON THE VINYL, AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, UNLESS YOU WANT A LOVELY LOOKING VINYL. BIT OF A HARD ONE TO GRADE WITH THE AUDIO AS THERE ARE FOUR SIDES, BUT OVERALL I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX- . AS THERE IS NOTHING SERIOUS, JUST WHAT IS MENTIONED IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION !!!

LABELS :: LOVELY AND CLEAN WITH SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: EX . 

POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST A SMALL BIT OF CELLO TAPE ON ONE SIDE EDGE, AND SOME LIGHT AGEING. THEY ARE BOTH 'PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS' AND IDENTICAL APART FROM ONE HAS 912, AND THE OTHER 913, IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THEY WERE WITH THE VINYLS WHEN I GOT THE ALBUM MANY YEARS AGO, BUT NOT SURE IF THEY ARE THE ORIGINALS. THE VINYLS WILL COME IN TWO NEW BLACK POLYLINED INNERS TO PROTECT THE OTHER TWO :: VG/VG+ . 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. VERY NICE AUDIO, AND YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT AWAY FROM THE NEXT PRESS, AS IT IS SO MUCH SHARPER, AND CLEARER, AND THE STEREO AUDIO IS AWESOME. VISUALLY NOT THE PRETTIEST UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS, JUST COSMETIC, AND OF COURSE THE BLUE TEXT GATEFOLD, WHICH IS VERY NICE AND VERY SOLID !!!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME!! 

CRAZY LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE AS ALWAYS...GOOD LUCK !!!
