OK…where do we start? Let's start with Jimi: this legendary, incendiary Jimi Hendrix performance (“incendiary” should be taken quite literally here: Jimi actually doused and torched his guitar in Monterey) is one of two or three pinnacles of Rock music. Think of this performance as Jimi Hendrix dropping a REAL Big One on the world of Pop and Rock music. In the mayhem that ensued, nothing would ever be the same. And, no, after playing this disc "you will never listen to the Surf music again" (certainly not the way you did before Hendrix  cremated his Guitar for the whole world to see).

Ah, but wait… you ain’t heard nothing yet… compared to what you are about to find on the other side of this record, Jimi Hendrix's side is basically a filler - a light aperitif; a humble hors d’oeuvre to a delicious five-course meal Otis Redding is about to serve you. Flip the disc to the Otis Redding side and hear what we totally, firmly, believe is the SINGLE GREATEST live performance in the history of recorded music. According to the legend, after Otis' 15-minute performance with Booker T. & the MG's and Mar-Keys (he was more or less dragged away from the stage by the police despite protestations from the audience, because he overstayed his brief time slot), Mama Cass was gasping for air, Janis Joplin was weeping uncontrollably, and Brian Jones and Pete Townsend were standing there, deaf, dumb and… numb. No wonder. Nothing we've heard in 35 years of collecting music matches -  let alone tops -  the screaming passion, the agony and the ecstasy,  and the brutal intensity - almost violence - of Otis's Monterey performance – the very last live performance of his brief life. You can literally hear Otis struggling in between songs to regain his breath.  If ever a performer EXPLODED on stage in a mushroom cloud, this is IT. Show us another concert performance of this level of emotional intensity, if you can. SHOW US!!! WE DARE YOU!!!

In other words, on side 1 Jimi Hendrix douses and torches his guitar. On side 2, Otis Redding sets HIMSELF on fire!!!

For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, or for some other innate quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.). For more details, see: "Critics Choice: Top-200 albums" compiled by Paul Gambaccini, Omnibus Press, Library of Congress Catalog No.7855565 (or ► click here  for the complete album listing)

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 150:1.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

-         Visible shelf wear noted on the seams
