JIMI HENDRIX - ELECTRIC LADYLAND
IN MAGNIFICENT BARELY PLAYED MINT MINUS CONDITION
OUTSTANDING TRACK LABEL COPY WITH SUPERB SLEEVE
CATALOGUE: TRACK 613008 / 9
MATRIX NUMBERS DISC 1: 61300 **8 A//1 1 7 613008 B V 2 420 1 2 8
MATRIX NUMBERS DISC 2: 613009 A//2 1 1 8 / 613009 B//2 420 11 1 2
THIS IS THE SLIGHTLY LATER PRESSING WITH THE CORRECTED MATRIX NUMBERS AND THE 'TWO RECORD SET' DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE CIRCLED ST33 AT 3 O'CLOCK ON THE LABELS
THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE SECOND TO EXPLAIN WHY SIDES A AND D ARE ON ONE LP AND B AND C ON THE OTHER
THE LP'S WERE DESIGNED SO THAT IF THEY WERE PLAYED ON A RECORD PLAYER THAT HAD AN AUTOCHANGER, SIDE A COULD BE PLAYED AND THEN WHEN IT FINISHED THE SECOND LP WOULD DROP TO THE SURFACE AND PLAY SIDE B. TURN THE RECORDS OVER AND SIDES C AND D WOULD PLAY IN ORDER. SIMPLE REASONING, DESPITE THE FACT THAT AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS HAVE DESTROYED MANY MANY COLLECTIBLE RECORDS. ANYTOME YOU SEE A RECORD THAT HAD A BIG WHITE RING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, IT HAS ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN ON THE DREADED AUTOCHANGER
THIS LP SET HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES AND DEFINITELY NOT ON AN AUTOCHANGER
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SLIGHTLY ROUGH TEXTURED MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE SILVER LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION ON BOTH DISCS, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE BUT THREE-FOUR TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE TO SHOW THAT THE LP SET HAS HAD JUST THAT MANY CAREFUL PLAYS SINCE 1968
A REALLY CLASSY UNBLEMISHED SET OF LABELS
THE VINYL
BOTH VINYLS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE IS RETAINED AND BOTH DISCS GLEAM LIKE NEW AND HAVE THAT JUST PRESSED LOOK. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE DOUBLE ALBUM FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO BEFORE DECIDING IF THIS IS THE SET FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE, ALL THE WORDS IN THE WORLD WILL NOT REPLACE THE ABILTY TO HEAR THE LP, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS BY FIND ING AND THEN HEARING THIS BARELY PLAYED LP SET. . THE WHOLE THING PLAYS TO A MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS STANDARD, WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION, AND A SUPERB STEREO PERFORMANCE.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON EITHER DISC, PROVING THAT THE SET HAD ONLY EVER HAD A COUPLE OF CAREFUL PLAYS THAT WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE RECORDS PLAY WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER OR ANY LOUD CLICKS FOR THAT MATTER
NO VINYL NOISE, AND ONLY THE BAREST BIT OF VIRTUALLY INAUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AT THE VERY START OF SIDE A and D
PERHAPS I HEARD A TWO OR THREE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE 4 SIDES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SUPERB SET MINT MINUS!!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
E.J.DAY ORIGINAL PRESS SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS BADLY FROM DEEP AND HEAVY CREASING AND TERRIBLE RING WEAR, BUT THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB VIRTUALLY UNBLEMISHED CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND JUST GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.THE SHEEN ON THE LAMINATE REALLY DEEP .
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS OR DINGS ON THE CORNERS, AND ABSOLOUTELY NO RING WEAR JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE, AND THEN ONLY WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT.
THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A COUPLE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND TWO NEAR INVISIBLE THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE WHERE THE LP WAS PLUCKED FROM THE SLEEVE WITH A LITTLE MORE FORCE THAN NEEDED.THERE IS ALSO ONE TINY SPOT OF LAMINATE MISSING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, AND THE ENTIRE SURFACE IS STILL LAMINATED FROM TIP TO TIP, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE A SMALL SEGMENT NEAR THE SPINE SIDE THAT HAS BEEN CHIPPED AWAY LEAVING A SMALL HOLE. THE VERY RIGHT CORNER TIP IS ALSO LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY ADHERED. NO CRACKING OR FLAKE, AND ONLY THE VERY TIPS TOP AND BOTTOM SHOW THE TINIEST SPECKS OF RUBBING
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICKS IN EACH ONE, AND THIS IS CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE LP'S HAVE REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR MOST OF THEIR LIVES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME HIGHLY GLOSSY CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AND ONLY SHOWS THOSE TINY LITTLE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND THE SAME LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED AWAY INTO THE LIGHT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A FULLY LAMINATED AND GLOSSY PAIR OF PANELS WHICH ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION
THE TWO POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND CLEAN AND BARELY HAVE A CREASE LINE ON THEM.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN NEAR MINT WITHOUT THE LITTLE CHUNK OUT OF THE BOTTOM EDGE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
