Description
Hello, and welcome to my auction.
Here is an original pressing of the masterpiece "Are You Experienced" on TRACK records!
This is the issue you have been waiting for!!!
Hendrix on 'track' is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of, with many either totally destroyed or in the hands of major record collectors. Resultantly, having one of these in your collection has become a privelage.
CONDITION
Cover: G+ - a good example of what is a very delicate cover. Usually these turn up in rough shape, however this one remains presentable. It is generally solid, with no rips, splits or writing. There is evidence of laminate creasing here and there. Spine is somewhat legible (a miracle for this cover!) however has some rubbing on it. Spine is slightly 'off' but nothing overwhelmingly major. The fold over has signs of starting to detach at the back on top, creating a wavy effect. The back cover has tearing, presumably where stickers have been. There is general wear and signs of age. Overall, I would say this is around the 'G' to 'G+' mark. Not a vault copy, but a reasonable one. Please refer to photos.
Vinyl: F+ - play test produced no skips/jumps or sticks on my turntable, so it did play all the way through. Did have surface noise and crackle throughout. In some areas it was minor but others a lot more prominent. I personally didn't feel that it was so overwhelming as to be louder than the actual music itself. I'd say it reached to about a moderate level at most, but it is worth noting that some tracks do have surface noise/crackle worth being considered. The vinyl displays many hairlines, some scuffs and other marks on the surface. There are a couple of noticeable ones on both sides. Like I say, it did play through on my turntable. Many marks appear to be mainly cosmetic, whilst some attribute to some clicking in places.
This is a piece of vinyl that has been played and handled. It still has some life left in it though for something who wants to own this rare pressing and doesn't mind surface noise/crackle etc. and cosmetic wear.
If you think this will bother you then please don't bid.
This is a great opportunity to get your hands on one without paying £300+ for a mint copy.
Payment as soon as possible would be fantastic.
