Polydor Records Mid-Price SPELP71

12” 33rpm British Pressing

Recorded 1970 

Thanks for viewing my sale for an excellent copy of this British Hendrix release on the Polydor label. This came from boxed inventory that has been in cool storage for many many years, so I believe it to be NOS (New Old Stock), but I cannot garantee this to be true, so please carefully review the large photos in upper left hand corner of this ad.

"Isle of Wight" was a posthumous album, released in November 1971 in the U.K. only. The album documents Hendrix's performance at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival on August 30, 1970, his last performance in England before his unfortunate death in September. The album was engineered by Carlos Ohlms (a British based engineer). 

The record cover is a photo taken at a live concert from Berlin, Deutschlandhalle, September 4, 1970 rather than from the Isle of Wight. The album spent 2 weeks in the U.K. albums chart, peaking at No. 17.

Although this was a very popular record at the time of its release, it contains just part of the concert; the entire performance can be found on the 2002 CD release "Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight."

All our vinyl LPs and 45s listed on eBay are from a 50 year personal collection of record albums and singles we starting accumulating back in the mid-1960s, dedicated to preserving original pressings in the best over-all condition possible. Our New Old Stock (NOS) inventory, mostly consisting of import pressings, come from our long closed record shops: Discount Record Shop and Choice Recordings of Washington, DC and Half-Thoughts Records of Manasquan, NJ. Our beloved record collection is a mix of Rock, Roots Music, 60’s Garage, Psychedelic, Soul, R&B, Blues, Punk, New Wave, Metal, Girl Groups, Picture Discs, Classical, Choral, Opera, Jazz, International/World Beat, Movie Soundtracks, Musicals, Spoken Word, and Audiophile pressings in all genres.  We are offering a number of rock and soul singles. Back in the day we would compare sound quality between multiple editions of the same titles to keep the best sounding copies for ourselves. All records were played on high-end turntables with reasonably fresh stylus and carefully monitored tracking force & azimuth. 

Please read through description and condition sections of this advertisement carefully to be sure you want the item prior to ordering.

RECORD GRADING: At this time we are only selling NM to VG+ and many NOS (new old stock).

New Old Stock (NOS): Preserved in my time vault. If the record is sealed or never been opened, it is considered Mint. If the cover does not appear as new, then we will rate it per below.

Mint (M): The record or cover must appear as new.

Near Mint (NM): This generally means the vinyl is in pristine condition with only one or two slight marks that will not affect playback. A NM cover will may show slight signs of wear or one or two marks but still looks fresh and crisp.

Near Mint Minus (NM-): This slightly below the NM grade with more slight imperfection or slight cover wear, perhaps an out of square or bent corner, but generally close to flawless. 

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) Record may have sleeve marks from being pulled in and out of a cover. Typically these marks will only be viewable under a bright light bulb. Generally will play through like a NM or NM- with little to no surface noise. Cover may have storage wear, tiny age spots, toning or creasing - nothing distracting or major.

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

Cut-Outs: Also known as Over Stocks are always noted since they are generally marked with a slightly cut corner or a notch in the cover placed near a corner. We never list a cut or notched corner higher than NM- due to the overstock marking process. 

45 Cut-Outs: Generally have a hole drilled through the label and we only purchased these type of cutouts when the record was too tempting to pass-up. Again, we identify singles that were drilled.

PAYMENT: eBay requires payment via PayPal, so please pay at time of purchase and, in return, we will make every effort to rush your shipment to you.

PACKAGING: Our records are professionally packed in thick, sturdy cardboard record mailers or envelopes & clearly labeled FRAGILE. To date, we have not experienced damage in transit.

SHIPPING: For 12” albums, we give the choice of USPS Media Mail or Priority Insured; Post Office loss or damage at your risk if you do not select the Priority option, which also reduces transit time by ? and less exposure to damage. For certain high-priced records, we simply do not offer the option of Media Mail. 

RETURNS: Generally we our very cautious when accepting returns (shipping at your cost) and, at this time, will only replace a defective item with the same recording.
