JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE Are You Experienced? LP UK Stereo

	£		121

Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!

I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90%+ of the LP's i've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, i've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, i'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!

I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS i've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered", weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and i'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!

I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

Title : The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced

Label & year : Original Track 613 001 LP , UK Stereo ULTRA RARE withdrawn 197? 1st Press!!!

Matrix's : Side A :2343073 A//1 v 420  1 , Side B : 2343073 B//1 v 420  1 (EARLIEST EVER!!!)

THIS IS IT!!! ONE OF, IF NOT THE RAREST HENDRIX LP!!! I bet you didn't even know this existed!!! WELL, it's been rumoured, but as you can see, now it certainly does!!! We all know that on that fateful day in 1967 when Hendrix's monumental debut LP (quite possibly the greatest debut LP of all time) hit the UK stores, it was exclusively as a mono (stereo record decks being in their relative infancy at the time), HOWEVER in the 70's for whatever reason (possibly when they were pressing up more copies of his masterpieces to cope with the surge in demand after his death), it seems Track decided to press up a MINISCULE amount of stereo copies of this LP for the first time!!! There's doubt over whether this was even actually released, maybe even withdrawn!!! Such is the TRUE rarity of this, the vast majority of Hendrix collectors are TOTALLY unaware of it's existence!!!

So, by now you've rubbed your eyes, probably twice, and it's slowly sinking in that this record is HERE, I guess you're wondering how it sounds? WELL....I can confirm that it sounds.......INCREDIBLE!!! A TRUE STEREO MIX!!! Better than the mono? Only your ears can be the judge of that. I will say that the mono mix is the one that Jimi personally gave the nod to, he may have given the nod to this mix too, but as he was no longer around, it's hard to confirm. BOTH are essential as two completely different spins on the same masterpiece, and what this rarity lacks in original 60's dust, it makes up in sheer collectability!!! And not only that, this record is in FANTASTIC condition with PHENOMENAL sound quality!!!

About : Ultra Rare Original 197? WITHDRAWN UK 1st Press!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP sold barely anything and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!

The LP :

Labels : 

Classic UK 1st Press black ridged Track labels!!! Both sides are FANTASTIC with minimal signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has a tiny amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this has barely had any play over the years at all!!! AWESOME for a 30-something year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Excellent++!!!

Record : Visual - 

Original 197? UK 1st press unlaminated sleeve complete with inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks BRILLIANT, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO really bad marks AT ALL, NO seam splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has a few mild signs of ageing such as a tiny amount of ultra light edge creases, the merest ghost of a record imprint and a small sticker to the top left corner of the front, some very minor touches of whitening to parts of the seams (truly minimal), one or two age spots and only the very vaguest ageing to the still ultra bright unlaminated back (very mild), a touch of denting/rounding to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! A FANTASTIC sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as truly awesome as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! The iconic pics look AMAZING!!! It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and 100% readable!!! Must grade overall at the very least as Very Good++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : A MAGNIFICENT example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic withdrawn Stereo 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but PHENOMENALLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS AWESOME AS THIS!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
