Commentaires:
En tant que collectionneur de Jimi HENDRIX depuis plus de 45 ans, je peux affirmer que cet album est un des plus rares albums français de Jimi, si ce n’est le plus rare !!!
Pourtant, il s’agit d’une compilation sortie en 1979, mais cet album est vraiment beaucoup plus difficile à trouver que les premiers albums originaux de Jimi sortis en France sur le label Barclay !
C’est assez surprenant, alors je ne peux que supposer que cette édition a eu un tirage très limité ( ?)
L'année dernière, j’ai eu l’opportunité incroyable d’en localiser 2 beaux exemplaires, que j’ai aussitôt achetés afin de les proposer aux collectionneurs de Jimi Hendrix du monde entier…
Depuis lors, je ne l'ai pas revu en vente nulle part, bien que je me rende régulièrement dans des salons du disque et que je regarde sur Internet de temps en temps ...
Je pense que l’intérêt majeur de cet album, en plus de sa rareté, ce sont avant tout les superbes photos de la pochette, celle de Jean-Pierre Lenoir (face) et celle de Jean-Louis Rancurel (dos).
Etat disque et pochette: presque neufs (NM)
Comments:
As a Jimi HENDRIX fan & collector for over 45 years, I can say that this album is one of the rarest French albums of Jimi, if not the rarest!
Although it is a compilation released in 1979, this album is really much harder to find (here in France) than Jimi’s first albums released on the Barclay label !
It's rather surprising, so I can only assume that this album was a limited edition (?)
Last year I have had an opportunity to find 2 nice copies, which I immediately bought so as to offer them to Jimi Hendrix collectors worldwide ...
Since then I had never seen it for sale anywhere again, although I go regularly to records fairs and look for it on the Internet...
I think that the main interest of this album (besides its scarcity) is the beautiful photo by Jean-Pierre Lenoir on the front cover and the great photo by Jean-Louis Rancurel on the back.
Condition: both copies are NM (record & cover)
