Great Laminate condition on sleeve (pvc stored for many years)
now rare and difficult to find in EX condition!
ERNEST J DAY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE = VERY GOOD WITH SOME RING WEAR , LIGHT LAMINATE CREASING , AND SOME LIGHT CORNER WEAR , NO RIPS TEARS OR WRITING ( PLEASE SEE PICTURES)
Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarity and attraction to collectors
"Excellent Condition Vinyls "
this has fantastic clear audio!
Very nice collectable copy, clear audio no skips or jumps on our Rega 3, would grade vinyls as Excellent condition, ( some small light and hairline scratches and removal scuffs which don't affect playback) a little static in quieter passages which may improve with a professional clean. Labels are in good shape a previous owners name is on A and C labels. look at the photos.
This is only detraction from a superb copy audio performance is awesome.
Jimi on its launch said " I made this album with Stereo in mind" so listen..picture of Jimis `Temple` Ladyland Studios in Greenwich Village Manhattan New York is not included. when this was being recorded Jimi would sit up all night mixing and editing and recording different bass and even drum tracks on some parts Eddie Kramer has been quoted as saying he just needed to sleep...its like Jimi knew time was short....
Tracks include , Electric Ladyland, Crosstown Traffic, Gipsy Eyes, Voodoo Chile (extended original version and slight return) Long Hot Summer Night...Rainyday women, Come on...
most;y recorded in Electric Lady studios in Greenwich Village New York in 68 Jimmy was living and playing there every day and the music here is some of his best work ...
as Jimi said at the time "i made this album with "stereo" in mind , "
great colors to describe the sky .....
The double album sells now with "Blue Text" for often £400+ in this condition buy the white text copy here for much less...
The "Electric Ladyland" Album on original track labels 1st pressings at a great price ... this record sounds so good and clear, no problems to report.
this is the original 1968 first press Matrixes on UK Track records.
The "Ladies" cover
Excellent Condition (cover)
pictures in the listing are of the item for sale " what you see is what you get here"
Light laminate creasing on the front and rear of the sleeve, minor ringwear at front, overall great laminate condition in photos, no writing, names, in great shape for 50 years! kept safe in its pvc sleeve for many years , its not perfect as this has been handled and is 50. The spine is very solid and clean only light removal wear the laminate is in good shape shows some creases, the gatefold pics and inside laminate very clean with only slight creasing. No rips, tears or worrying fault repairs.
The records
label with A side D on disc 1 NO ERROR!
Label B and C is labeled on disc 2 normal
to explain these were made for old style auto changers so you could play side A then drop side B, then then turn both over drop side C then D etc....(perish the thought!) but yes they did!
- NOTE we see many reports of "hey Ive got a rare press A and D..." (this is Normal ) like this one.
- A1B1A1B1 are matrix numers on disc labeled as above.
Excellent A1 B1 and A1 B1 "Hand Etched and corrected 8" the matrix which isn't on later copies we have seen...side C is completley `hand etched`
A previous owners name is on labels A and C near ex labels.
This is very early in the run in our view...
great vivid labels some spindle marks plays clean, very light scratches only with some hairlines and small removal scuffs no issues on our Rega 3 or the super fussy light tracking Kenwood deck we use to grade, very few pops and clicks in quiter parts but nothing to disrupt pleasure of this great recording (we have not cleaned as this is a personal thing) this is a first press in great order!
the "acid test" of the intro to "And the Gods Made Love" and the strart to "Rainy Day" are very very clean amazing audio from this 50 year old.
no stickers or names on the sleeve its EX
Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing clear bass, may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3.
any questions please ask!
Overall a great no worrying faults copy!
