About This Record.  This is a cool USA Copy of Jimi Hendrix's first LP, USA release, entitled Are You Experienced.  Exceedingly rare original stereo tri-color Reprise steamboat label with original  Reprise innersleeve; plays EX much better but one song (B1) has 8 or 9 almost concentric ticks from a SCRATCH right at the beginning of the second side of the LP). Otherwise plays incredibl\y well.  PLEASE see all my additional photos and details regarding condition of the cover and vinyl below.  The photos of the labels or cover list the songs and any possible details about the labels. See my other RARE LPs for sale (and maybe some cool 1960s psych etc. LPs I am selling with NO Reserve!).

PLEASE Read my Feedback if you have questions about my grading as Feedback says alot and you can see my gradings and peoples comments.  I offer full refund including shipping both ways (for USA buyers) in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase.  Comes cleaned on my VPI Record Cleaning machine and placed in a new dust-free sleeve.

Please note that I work for eBay and this link is to the Code I have to abide by as an eBay employee:  http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/everyone-employee.html I have no clue who works in the Collectibles Division and am not involved in any policy or other decisions that go on; I just happen to like vinyl and happen to work at eBay

Cover Condition: VG+   HEAVY Original cardboard LP. Light corner wear and some staple marks on top corners from when this was ? affixed to a wall?, Cover weighs 115 grams; small name in bottom right corner of front cover, in addition to the staple holes on top corners.  Just a touch of ring wear PLEASE See Photos.

Vinyl Condition: EX- Keeper copy as these things go! And I know, as I have returned about 5 Hendrix stereo LPs from clueless ebay sellers, and  I have bought about 11 others in person over the decades, upgrading carefully.  This LP Looks Strong VG+ to EX- with obvious LIGHT stylus marks (7 or 8 on each side) and obvious paper innersleeve marks) and plays great EX/better, nice copy!   Very quiet between tracks.  I listened to this twice today with great joy, and had a hard time trying to decide which of my copies to sell.  I have owned 11. 

 Inserts:  Comes with original Reprise Records Factory innersleeve with other artists noted etc. but it also comes cleaned on my VPI Record Cleaning Machine and in a new innersleeve (so the old dust does not reattach!  OH my gosh!!.

Labels:  EX+ light wear near spindle hole; few light spindle marks (see photos of all labels)

Packaging.  I clean all vinyl on my V.P.I. Record Cleaning Machine and place it in a new innersleeve so the old dust does not reattach; but I also include the innersleeve that came with the LP if it is the original.  I separate the vinyl in its new sleeve after cleaning from the cover, and place the cover and the separately packed vinyl in at least one if not two plastic innersleeves that help protect against moisture damage during this cool records transition to your record collection.  I use sturdy carboard containers with real corners and pack with at least one insert stiffener, and I place neon stickers on the front and back of the package indicating “Do Not Bend” and “Fragile” to help facilitate a safe passage.

About Me.  I have been a Record Collector for Decades.  I bought this many years ago during my travels and have kept it well-preserved in plastic sleeves and vinyl separated outside the cover.

Shipping and Payment.  PayPal only.  I ship promptly worldwide; sometimes the automatic eBay invoice does not have accurate shipping if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. . . . I will ship by any method you want.  But if you do not pay for protecting your purchase by requesting insurance, or expensive International Priority Mail, then please understand the record will be shipped at your own risk and not mine.  I offer full refund on this record including shipping both ways, unless you live outside North America in which case I will refund you shipping one way unless I made a mistake which I sometimes do because I am only human..  CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:  Please add sales tax!
