Artist: JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE

Title: ELECTRIC LADYLAND

Original PoLydor Records - Recorded in 1968 

Double LP – STEREO -  UK Press 2657 0012   

This is a rare TRANSITIONAL copy of the double LP Electric Ladyland set by The Jimi Hendrix Experience AND IT MUST BE ONE OF THE 1st POLYDOR LABEL PRESSINGS AS IT HAS THE ORIGINAL 613008/09 MATRIX FROM THE 1ST PRESSINGS RELEASED IN 1968 ON TRACK RECORDS. It has the Polydor stereo label, number 2657 012 on the sleeve (much rarer than the Polydor mid price SPDLP 3 pressing) and has early first pressing 1 stampers and also 2310269/70 dual matrix.

This is the infamous NUDE cover which has been CENSORED and previously removed by Ebay for containing in their opinion ADULT MATERIAL whilst listing happily photos of naked people in other categories. THE RED LINES HAVE BEEN AIRBRUSHED IN THE PHOTO BUT THE COVER IS CLEAR WITHOUT ANY RED MARKS.

Visually-graded vinyl: A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. A visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and fifty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.

I am not a dealer but an amateur collector selling duplicated items or records that I no longer want to keep (mostly due to space). I do not clean records (other than a dust with anti-static) and unless indicated in the listing the records have been only visually inspected.

To show your record has arrived safely and you are happy, please leave feedback and I will reciprocate.

I will not, therefore, accept responsibility for any loss or damage by the Postal Services. Whilst I am happy to provide help and advice, all such claims remain the responsibility of and must be made by the buyer.
