Hi, I started collecting vinyl Lp's and 45's in 1971, I have 20,000 + which I have moved now 4 times, and about to move again next year. So it's time to let at least half go. Most are in at least Excellent condition.  I can't listen to them all, so most will only have visual grading, any with a high start price, I will listen too, and play grade.

ALBUM INFO:

This is his forth album on TRACK released on the 12 june 1970 the Uk 1st PRESS of JIMI HENDRIX Seminal Album....BAND OF GYPSY'S......ONE OF THE RAREST ROCK ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!. With A1/B1  Matrix Numbers and the "PUPPET SLEEVE" Which was withdrawn due to the image of Bob Dylan, along with Brian Jones and DJ John Peel. The sleeve was only available on the earliest of UK presses the rough textured label and to find an Excellent cover on this version is Rare! 44 years old now, recorded live at the Filmore East, with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles just six months before his untimely death. In 1970 most people owned the old fashion type of Radio Grams, I don't need to tell you how many Lp's got scratched and ruined by heavy weighted arms and metal needles.  This is the ORIGINAL UK 1st PRESS version... So hard to find in any playable condition, as they have been squirrelled away in collections or worse thrown away, Nearly all copies that turn up have terribly worn Covers, mostly with the owners name written on them. I believe that there are very few better rock albums, you would be hard pushed to find better.   

The sleeve is unlaminated front and back without any Major creasing, NO WRITING OR MARKS. An opportunity to own a Mega Rare true rock classic.

VINYL VISUAL: 

Very Good:-  The vinyl is still bright and shows signs of being played. light needle marks, There are NO deep penetrating scratches. 

SLEEVE:

Excellent .  Look at the photo's with a Great  Wonderfully clean unlaminated cover,  please look at the photos the cover is prone to wear due to the matt and no laminate. Hard to think it's 44 years old! it's in great shape. (Back) somehow it has survived without picking up any staining or writing, as a lot of albums have owners names in biro on them, rare in this condition as they were not cheap at the time at £3.+ the average wage being £35 at the time. Most copies were played to death. This Sleeve is in amazing condition.   

INNER SLEEVE:

EXCELLENT. Original Polylined paper type, dated 06/70 ( Day of Issue) ... being the very fragile inner sleeve is a great indicator of the amount of usage the album has had. I would say the inner is excellent and considering how fragile these are there, pretty good.....they are 44 years old, quite unbelievable intact condition.  

LABELS:

Clean, very light spindle marks, no writing.      

GRADING SYSTEM: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

PAYMENT:

Items must be payed for within five days. If non payment within five days, I will then instigate an Ebay ruling. I will set up a dispute and either offer it to the runner up bidder or relist.
