Earliest UK pressing of this monumental classic!!
Album sleeve
Most important facet here. Banned after release as it caused so much controversy and offensive reactions ! The earliest issue with the clipped spine, clearly showing title. Corners only slightly scuffed. Amazing cover with minimal feathering to opening edge. Unlaminated faces with a matt finish whereby so many suffered immense damage, rips and tears. This one is the best I have seen and is in excellent condition. NO tears and NO rips of any kind. Colours remain vibrant and unfaded. NO significant creasing. A fantastic collectors’ item.
Labels
Black Track labels with no mottling or peeling and are in excellent condition. Several spindle lines visible but no damage to report.
Audio
What can I say? Channels are exceptionally clear with very little surface disturbance. Hendrix is heard at his awesome best. Stereo perspective absolutely breathtaking. A phenomenal aural delivery. NO audible scratches. Recorded live at the Fillmore East, New York,1970. Eddie Kramer remixed/engineered this incredible release and the audio is the best I have heard. NO groove wear and surface noise is virtually non existent. The raw Hendrix talent is quite breathtaking as his electric guitar screeches its way from speaker to speaker. Feedback echoes as the sensational remix is delivered like no other. AWESOME!
Vinyl
Incredible polished surfaces and appears virtually unmarked under ordinary light. One mm. scratch causing one solitary pop only. And that is all! One or two very light hairlines where sleeve has brushed the surfaces. Amazing quality on offer here .Excellent visual.
This phenomenal album release has become an elusive and a difficult acquisition but is so necessary as it has become one of THE album productions that all keen collectors MUST have !! Almost impossible to locate in this remarkable condition. Please do not miss as these releases are becoming scarcer by the day.
