ATTENTION JIMI HENDRIX,1960s ALBUM AND CLASSIC ROCK COLLECTORS!

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST STEREO 1968 EDITION OF THE ESSENTIAL JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE ALBUM:"AXIS:BOLD AS LOVE".

RARELY SEEN IN THIS CONDITION.

 IT'S THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE UK STEREO 1968 EDITION ON THE POLYDOR THICK PRESSED TRACK LABELS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION+A SUPER CLEAN LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER!

613 003+THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A1/B1 MATRIXES. 

HARDLY ANY COPIES HAVE SURVIVED LIKE THIS FANTASTIC EXAMPLE!

STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A FEW FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS,THE COVER REMOVAL TYPE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS COPY HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!

THE DEMAND FOR STEREO VERSIONS IN 1968 WAS LESS THAN THE MONO-MOST ROCK FANS DIDN'T SWITCH TO STEREO UNTIL 1970 AND SOME SHOPS WOULD OFTEN ONLY GET STEREO EDITIONS TO SPECIAL ORDER OR WOULD STOCK HARDLY ANY COPIES-MONO EDITIONS ARE FAR EASIER TO FIND! THE STEREO MIXES CAPTURE ALL THE LEFT AND RIGHT PANNING,TYPICAL OF THE EARLY HENDRIX TRACKS WITH LOTS OF GUITAR NOTES A LOT CLEARER TO HEAR THAN IN THE SOMEWHAT FLAT AND MUDDY MONO VERSIONS!

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TWO EARS WITH STEREOPHONIC WONDER!

MOST STEREO COPIES THAT WERE SOLD 44 YEARS AGO IN 1968 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT,SOMETIMES EVEN PLAYED ON MONO ONLY EQUIPMENT IN ERROR AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED"LOOK! NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS-ONLY VERY SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR!

A COPY THAT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED, OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1968! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS!

NOTHING TO HIDE!

ONE OF THE BEST 1ST EDITION STEREO COPIES I HAVE FOUND IN 25 YEARS AS A DEALER SPECIALISING IN 1960s RECORDS!

THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER HAS A FINE TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS,STAINING OR REPAIRS!

IT HAS THE FLIPBACKS INSIDE AND IS PRINTED BY ERNEST J.DAY.

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

THIS LP ITSELF IS STRICTLY GRADED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND COULD BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST AND BEST JIMI HENDRIX STEREO LPs!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY PRESSING!

THIS 1ST ISSUE FROM 1968 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!
