Product Description
EXTREMELY RARE TEST PRESSING OF THIS LEGENDARY CONCERT FROM JIMI'S 1969 EUROPE TOUR! 2 DISCS PRESSING ON VERY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL (PROBABLY 200 GRAMS). INCREDIBLE SOUND QUALITY FOR THIS AUDIENCE RECORDING - THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HEAR! BOTH DISCS HAVE SLIGHT WARPS WHICH DO NOT AFFECT SOUND QUALITY. BOTH DISCS ARE MINT. White label records are vinyl records with adhesive plain white labels affixed. Test pressings, usually with Test Pressing written on the label, with catalogue number, artist and recording time or date, are produced in small quantities (usually under 5 copies) to evaluate the quality of the disc production. Plain white label promos were produced in larger quantities by bigger record labels, often containing a biography of the band, to distribute as demonstration discs ("demos") to music distributors, and radio stations in order to assess consumer opinion. From jimihendrix.com: The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live In Cologne, the twelfth release in the Dagger Records official bootleg series, documents this spirited, January 13, 1969 performance at the Sporthalle in Cologne, Germany. Hendrix kicked off the proceedings with a scalding "Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)" from Electric Ladyland. This Earl King chestnut had long been a favorite of Jimi's and here he began with a driving solo introduction before signaling Redding and Mitchell to join. Next followed a blistering version of "Foxey Lady," a perennial stage favorite. An abrupt tape cut precedes a memorable rendition of "Red House." Thankfully the performance is essentially complete lacking only Jimi's prefacing stage banter, offered as he likely changed guitars before starting. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" followed next, not yet established as Jimi's closing number as it would become later in 1969 and remain so throughout his career, but no less muscular. Jimi then shifted directly into "Fire" and then a thunderous "Spanish Castle Magic." The Experience were clearly locked in sync, pushing each other throughout all to the delight of their audience. The Experience never backed off, launching next into their first single "Hey Joe." Jimi had to do some quick tuning on the fly, but he pressed on undaunted, boldly dashing off a lick from the Beatles' "I Feel Fine" as he barreled through this uptempo rendition. This driving intensity built up after the solo, underscored by Jimi's rhythm guitar work and Mitchell's superb drumming before culminating in a rousing finale. "Sunshine Of Your Love" was offered in tribute to Cream, all to the delight of the audience whose howls of approval can be heard even during Redding's bass solo. "Star Spangled Banner" and "Purple Haze" capped off a truly memorable night and then the Experience were gone, whisked off to the next city and another unsuspecting audience.

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you are getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
