Description
I was recently handed a small Jimi Hendrix collection to disperse, and have pulled some of the rarities out for your consideration.
This album has been cleaned with a VPI vacuum record cleaning machine using Nitty Gritty solution. It was then played completely on a system based on Mark Levinson and McIntosh electronics on a Technics SL 1500 turntable with a $200 Grado cartridge, through new Magnaplanar speakers, looking for skips or pops, or noise that overpowers the recording. Then it was graded conservatively by an expert using the Goldmine system chart at http://www.dtmagazine.com/lpgrades.html as a guide. After grading each disc was placed in a new audiophile quality fully lined sleeve and the cover was protected by a new clear plastic envelope. You can buy this album with full confidence that the description is accurate.
This particular album is a double album of live performances put out under the Trade Mark of Quality label. One disc is blue vinyl and the other disc is green. The labels only have large numbers on them, leaving no clue what music is inside. Truly a bootleg for the diehard collector. My research mentioned a concert in Los Angeles at the Forum in 1970 as the possible source of this LP. You’ll have to listen to it to be sure.
The ratings on this album are VG+ for the records, noting minor imperfections that do not overpower the sound, and VG for the cover, which has suffered for being a single record cover into which was stuffed a double album. That has caused much wear on the edges, which are starting to come apart, along with ring wear and fading on the hand stamped label. The audiophile quality sleeves and envelope have arrested the deterioration, but you will still need to handle the records carefully to avoid further damage every time you play them. The TMOQ pig sticker is on the front above the label.
So if this rare piece is just what you need for your collection, here you go. Thanks for looking. :-
