THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE REALLY TIGHT AS THEY ARE PLACED OVER THE SPINDLE , THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUNDTHE SPINDLE HOLES AT ALL

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

THE VINYL

BOTH VINYLS ARE JUST IMMACULATE. THEY GLEAM LIKE THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOK TO BE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW RANDOM WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP'S PLAY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, AND THE OCCASIONAL ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SET NEAR MINT!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM MACNEIL PRESS

THIS ALBUM FEATURES THE FRONT COVERS OF THE TWO HENDRIX ALBUMS , ONE ON TH E FRONT AND ONE ON THE REAR

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR WITH JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE VISIBLE. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND INCREDIBLY JUST ONE TINY LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND JUST TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION WITH JUST SOME TINY PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH AT RANDOM

THE SPINE IS ALSO VIRTUALLY PRISTINE, WITH JUST ONE TINY CHIP . SCUFF TO THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE JUST BELOW THE TOP TIP WHICH IS VISIBLE IN THE PICTURES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND THE SURFACE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED.

THE REAR OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP, WHILST THE FRONT LEADING EDGE HAS LIGHTLY BURRED DUE TO IT SLIGHTLY OVERHANGING THE REAR ONE

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES BY THE SPINE AND ON THE BOTTOM EDGE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS.

FINALLY THE TWO ORIGINAL POLYDOR POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. LIGHTLY AGED AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION IN GRADING THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
