This is from my own collection I am not a dealer, in the next few months I am selling off part of my collection, some rarities and collectable, no filler! Thanks for looking!

Please ask Questions on any aspect of this record!
we will try to accommodate...

Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK Mono Black Track pressing and is priced for its rarety and attraction to collectors rather than for its condition
this is a 50 year old vinyl 1st pressing!

Jimi Hendrix second album on Track released in 1967 , recorded April, May 67 in Olympic studios London , this followed "are you experienced" in the same year as Jimi was required to produce 2 albums for Track in that year, Jimi was playing and recording in London almost every day so this was no problem for the experience.

Buy this with the Mono Smash Hits copy we are selling and you get a flavour of the Jimi Hendrix output from is refered to as his "Golden period" in "Swinging London 66/67"

Vinyl Record is Very good condition plus close to Ex in places no skips or jumps, playtested on 2 decks!

Cover is near Ex! "Made in Great Britain" at 6 oclock on the "Classic Black Track UK" mono label! as it should be on UK 1st pressing.

There are light surface lines on both sides, some scuffs, some hairlines and removal marks and light scuffs under strong light, this is the original iconic Black UK Track label from 1967 nothing serious on playback it has no skips or jumps or sticks.there are some pops in between tracks but nothing serious,

This is not a MINT or Archieve copy it has been played but a great affordable buy for any collector, this Jimis second track recording from 1967 is we believe harder to find than the first record ... here it is under £380!

The original UK mono copies from 1967 are now so hard to find in this condition you can see £400-£500+ is not unusual , here for less than £300 is a bargain....!

Photo of Jimis Mayfair London England residence is not included , it is where some of the songs were written though!

The record Very good+ condition
(close to excellent on most tracks)

This is a mono copy and sounds awesome and easily our favourite over the stereo copies.

A1 B1 matrixes with "inverted triangle" very very early copy!
with "Gary" also hand etched on runout (we haven't seen this before) this is a very early copy in our view

clean labels no writing

This is in good shape no writing or stickers on labels, has some surface scratches, hairlines a few spindle lines there are some scratches, removal scuffs and hairlines under strong light no skips or jumps on our Rega 3.

In Good condition with some visible scuffs from sleeve removal and general light scratching on both sides, scuffs from removal which show but do not disrupt play,there is static, from handling over the years, bear in mind this is a 49 year old vinyl record! it has some hairlines and crazing to the vinyl under light which we tried to show in photos. no skips or jumps.
Nice fat pre oil crisis 60s vinyl wow !very flat on the table, test played on 2 decks wow great audio.

Plays through superb on the Rega!

So thick and fat vinyl..very flat on then table.

See pictures in the listing you can see the light scratches and light surface lines on the record. nothing seroius and it plays through without much disruption no skips or jumps and fully play tested on 2 decks one very light tracking.

There is some static crackle in quieter passages and intros ,
Plays clear with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but not many of those!

The Cover is Near Excellent

Been kept in a PVC sleeve for most of its life in great shape from a smoke free home.

This copy has its original "Plastic Bags can be Dangerous" inner sleeve in good order, also supplied with a quality new inner sleeve.

Bright vibrant colour no writing stickers or tears, spine is in good order a real keeper see photos in listing.

Having done it's job over 49 years the sleeve has little wear at corners but no visible ringwear at the rear (see photos)and a liitle fraying in place but overall it holding up well.

No splits or tears, colours are good and not a lot fading, the thick card holds up well, no writing , names or stickers.

on the whole a great sleeve and a very very collectable vinyl. there is some rounding to corners . spine is in good shape,

a great EJ day (London) sleeve.

The "super rare" lyric Insert is not present we have heard that only first few thousand copies had "the inverted triangle", how many remain now?

*see photos) no writing names etc.
