There are very pleasing and significant differences between the two mixes that make the MONO version extremely special to collectors :

EXP is shorter without the extended feedback at the end and the vocals are louder.
Castles Made of Sand features a different vocal performance.
One Rainy Wish has a slightly different ending.

Mono is well preferred by many with the much deeper, sharp tones and the profound depth of aural delivery. There are other minor differences too, spanning the entire playback, as a result of the separate mixing to mono as opposed to merely combining the stereo tracks. Hence its apparent high value and appeal from collectors worldwide.

Black Track label format .First issue labels!!! Excellent condition .  No damage visible .NO mottling. NO peeling. NO graffiti of any kind. Silver text stands prominently with NO fading or damage . Beautiful examples of this rare mono variant . Side 1 EX+ Side 2 Nr MINT with just 2-3 lines visible confirming a very carefully handled and lightly played vinyl -impossible to locate like this 

Laminated outer gatefold sleeve .

Very first issue with flip backs on inner centrefold .

E J Day printed  ! ! Strong, vibrant coloration of luminous orange, pink and blue inks project in style on front/reverse faces .Lovely glossy sheen and opens to excellent+ inners with little to fault . Flip backs near perfect with no damage to report. Three minor creases mid section only.

Slight corner rubs. No lifting to laminate and minimal creasing to external lamination. Very difficult to locate in this excellent condition. Spine is ex+ ,displaying NO laminate splits, with only top/lower spinal edge wear and a minor insignificant peel hardly noticeable 0.05 cms. Light corner scuffs visiblewith light feathering to opening edge-one minor nick, again hardly visible.

Vinyl

Thick, heavyweight giant and gives a buzz when held. Gorgeous feel . NO surface marks i.e. just one extremely faint hairline visible under a strong light. Staggering mirror like sheen . Just a handful of plays absolutely unbelievable condition, hardly ever seen like this  and reflects a glass like appearance. Visually stunning to the voyeur . Near MINT visual.

Audio

Faultless aural delivery. No need to locate another example if you are lucky enough to win this one!

Opens with the introduction of this great rock icon . As he speaks the special effects of the deliberate deceleration of his vocals kick in and grind down to a mind blowing initiation of a truly magnificent album presentation. Launches the listener into an amazing journey of sensational tones and a tremendous depth of sound . The monotone delivery is one of the best that I have heard from this Hendrix classic and conveys the music with a concise definition and a razor sharp edge.  

Surface disturbance is virtually non existent. Near silent grooves even between tracks for most of playback and is quite remarkable, with no distortion of any kind from this mono release .

 Absolutely awesome audio as mono records got played with heavy styli and caused massive groove wear, resulting in distortion and muffled deliveries. This audio delivers unbelievable tones, razor sharp with a definitive edge! Will not disappoint.

 A truly phenomenal Hendrix release and as one listens to this album, one can appreciate that this is a true classic ,  and one record that all serious vinyl collectors should have. The pure genius of this man is illustrated throughout. The feedback from the amplifiers and the screeching electric guitar infusions are truly magnificent and places this rock classic as one of the best of its time.

The original ORANGE lyrics  insert in excellent condition / One minor corner crease/finger print impressions . No rips nor tears A prime example of this ultra rare lyrics insert . All lyrics clearly defined with legible pink text !

An excellent album gatefold sleeve with a spell bounding audio to match!  Depth of sound is truly awesome with opening grooves beautifully clear. The highly polished, glass like surfaces of the vinyl display a factory new appearance under ordinary light . Never seen a better example of this monumental Hendrix classic .

It is an album to be treasured for many years to come . Original poly lined ,white ,patented inner sleeve, also accompanies this highly collectable Hendrix release.
