2LP – Jimi Hendrix – Electric Ladyland (German Polydor)

After a hiatus of a few months I am back selling parts of my LP collection. This is an early issue  of Jimi Hendrix‘ Experience double album Electric Ladyland on the German Polydor label. CAT#2612 002 on the cover tells us that is not a first issue but dates from the early 1970ies (supposedly 1973).  But the CAT#184 183/184 184  on the labels as well as  in the run-out groove are the same as on the first issue from 1968. This means that the same source has been used to produce this one. As on the early UK issues the sides are auto-coupled on the German Polydor: disc one has sides 1 and 4, while disc 2 has sides 2 and 3.

Considering the age  of this record the vinyl is in an incredible EX condition – glossy, flat and silent. Definitely no clicks and pops here. The cover – conservatively graded as VG+ –  shows  some traces of use (beginning shelf and ring  wear, corner scuffing) but no  signs of seam splits or anything severe.  If you are looking for this music in all ist analog glory – warm, yet punchy and powerful – there is no need to look any further.

Watch this space – there will be more soon!
