Description
Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
The classic 1968 album that everyone should have - and the one I will have most difficulty parting with!
Double album on Polydor SPDLP3 2310 269
Published 1968 but I think this might be a 1984 reissue, which explains the excellent condition.
Matrix numbers: side 1-1: A//5 side 1-4: D//4 side 2-2: B//4 side 2-3: C//4
The vinyl I would say is in "Excellent" condition on all sides. Visually I can only see a few very fine sleeve removal marks. It plays through perfectly and is almost silent between between tracks, and in quiet passages. A very good pressing.
The gatefold sleeve I would grade as "Very Good", having some wear on the bottom and front edges, and some signs of a ring mark appearing, which I would say is "normal wear and tear".
Why am I selling records?
Due to a planned downsizing of our home I am selling my entire collection of vinyl records over the next few months, so take a look at my other items. I am not a dealer or a professional collector, but I will attempt to grade the items using the UK Record Collector Grading System (see below). All the records will be carefully cleaned and listened through before grading. If you disagree with my grading or are unhappy with the item you receive, please contact me first, before giving me negative feedback, I will do my best to resolve matters. The majority of my collection has been barn stored and unplayed for the last 25 years, and when in use were played on good equipment (Garrard 125SB deck) and well looked after.
Postage and Packing
Records will be securely packaged and despatched as soon as possible using Royal Mail second class small parcel service with a signature required. Cost is £3.95 for up to 2 Kg. If you buy more than one record then I will package together and refund any excess payment.

Mt- = Near Mint: In brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and contents nearly perfect.
Ex = Excellent: Shows some signs of being played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VG+ = Better than Very Good: Obviously been played but no significant deterioration in sound quality despite light surface marks. Very little wear and tear on cover and contents, without any major defects.
VG = Very Good: Obviously been played many times but no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on cover or contents, without any major defects.
Gd+ = Better than Good: Sound quality has deteriorated but with no distortion. Light scratches and occasional mild scratch. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges but not spine splits or discoloration.
Gd = Good: Sound quality has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion. Mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc.
Fair: Still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise - it may even jump. Cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
Poor: Will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. Cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
