We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

This album is Hendrix the musician. With just bass and drum support he is able to transfuse and transfix on the strength of his guitar work alone...
Following the breakup of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix took a sabbatical in Woodstock, New York, hooked up with bassist Billy Cox, his old Air Force running mate, and began jamming with a wide variety of musicians, including R&B drummer Buddy Miles. Hendrix had become self-conscious about his image as a showman and rocker, and about the limitations of thrashing through the same repertoire night after night. BAND OF GYPSYS was an attempt by Hendrix to redefine himself, and in a way heralded his return to the ethos of the blues and R&B, a return assisted by a powerhouse, groove-oriented rhythm section.
During their brief tenure as a band, Band Of Gypsys performed New Year's Eve at the Fillmore East, and this live recording captures some of Hendrix's most monumental solos, particularly his long, intensely emotional improvisation on "Machine Gun" (including guitar screeches of bombs and gunfire) and his pithy blues work on "Who Knows." Buddy Miles's "Them Changes" illustrates Hendrix's mastery of funk-psych, while "Message of Love" and "Power of Soul" demonstrate his remarkable ability to provide a simultaneous rhythm accompaniment and melodic counterpoint to his vocals, in the blues tradition. BAND OF GYPSYS was markedly different from Hendrix's work with Experience, but rivals it in terms of scope, vision, and beauty. ...Hendrix really gets into his guitar playing....

CONDITION: The cover: Rated: strong VG++ very rare and very delicate, this 1970 original (laminated) cover remains very visually clear, the only slight wear is to the outer lamination which is strictly minor. Light previous handling IS evident, but clearly a solid collectible given the rarity involved as a '70 first print. There are no split seams,no delete marks, no writing ...overall makes for a eye-catching display item.
The vinyl: Rated: "EX" (excellent) ... finding an original 1970 THIS CLEAN would be hard! Here's an upper sought after collectible of the rarity! Both Polydor labels are CLEAN
