JIMI HENDRIX- ARE YOU EXPERIENCED RARE 2-LP 180g EXC/NM

$

26

This is one of a number of vinyl albums and EPs -- some new and still-sealed, some rare -- that I am listing for auction.

This item is a beautiful vinyl 2-LP pressing of the album entitled Are You Experienced, by one of the great, legendary guitarists of the ages, Jimi Hendrix.  This title was originally released here in the US on Reprise Records in 1967.  This particular pressing is not an original, but rather dates to 1997 on MCA Records.  This album was based on a UK release of the same title, but Reprise swapped out some of the tracks from the UK version in favor of including his three UK hit singles to that time – Hey Joe, Purple Haze and The Wind Cries Mary.  It does not include Red House, which was pulled from the album by Reprise brass because, according to record company execs, Americans did not like the blues.  This pressing incorporates all of the tracks released on all of the versions released throughout the world, onto two 180g LPs – eighteen tracks altogether.  This was a somewhat limited release as well, making this a nice collectible for any Hendrix / rock music collector.

The vinyl and the gatefold cover are in beautiful near-mint condition, as shown in the photo. 

NOTE:  Sealed items are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value. 

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty years (education expenses – and soon-to-be college expenses -- are the reason I am selling my collection...). 

The shipping costs are as follows: $4.00 for one LP via media mail to anywhere in the U.S.   Each additional LP is an additional $0.40 for media mail shipping.  Priority shipping within the U.S. is a function of weight and postal zone, and I will e-mail an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs). 

Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again my invoice will provide the cost information. 

NOTE – there is no tracking of packages through the USPS without delivery confirmation.  If you would like tracking ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75. 

International Buyers – Please Note:

·         Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·         These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·         We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

NOTE:  Due to the present rules under Paypal, I can now ship internationally ONLY VIA PRIORITY MAIL.  If you are outside the US, Priority International is the standard shipping, due to the fact that under Paypal rules, tracking must be included on EVERY package outside the US.  The cost depends upon the weight and the country of destination.  I will provide the cost for each option in my post-auction invoice (and, again, I can provide the info during the auction, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of records).  To Canada, it will be $20.50USD for one LP.  To most other countries, it will be about $28.00USD for one LP.  I recognize that this will result in much higher shipping costs and I apologize for this change, but it is necessary under the Paypal rules now in effect. If you have any questions about this policy, please send me an e-mail via My eBay.

I will always combine items, so that your shipping costs will be more manageable.  Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.
