	£		360
	$		477

Hi there and welcome to my auction. I'm listing several rare 1st press Hendrix albums (best thing to do in a lock down!). Well rare due to condition as they are mostly near mint/Excellent 1st pressings. Several stunning Beatles albums getting listed at some point.  Electric Ladyland & Are You Experienced will be going on plus: Rubber Soul Help Revolver Beatles For Sale will all be getting listed and combined postage is always offered.
The Beatles records came from the estate of an obsessive Paul McCartney fan who was told to stop hassling him! She followed him round the world during his World Tour 89/90 and taped every concert! Had the tapes and sold them on, sound quality was shocking! Every radio interview from the late 80's onwards, Crazy stuff. Anyway these are the last few albums that i kept hold of but now seems a good time to sell them.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience---"Axis: Bold As Love"---Original UK Pressed MONO 
Album In Excellent condition and wonderful sound. 
This is the original Mono UK copy from 1967, first pressing with the Matrix - 612003 A-1 and B-1 on the Track label.
The vinyl is graded as Excellent. There are a few marks left from my manual cleaning machine and the record would benefit greatly from a professional clean, it could take the grading up a notch. The only actual mark i can see is the faintest of paper scratches running over the last track on side 1 'If Six Was Nine'.
The vinyl is shiny and glossy with only some faint spindle marks.
The orange insert lyric sheet is present and is in excellent condition apart from the bottom right corner has a crease, looks like it got folded at some time, other than that it's perfect, all the corners and edges are sharp, very unusual to find one in such crisp condition, considering how fragile and perishable they are. 
Labels: NM. Labels are  in superb condition with a  lovely finish, no fading marks or scratches, just some very faint spindle marks.
Outer Sleeve: VG+. The laminated gatefold sleeve is in superb condition with just some very small amount of wear on the  corners and some slight wear to the edge of the vinyl housing. The laminate is shiny, with little to no wear or bubbling or creases to it. There is some slight warping to the card, causing a bit of a 'wave' to Noel Redding on the left if you open it up. The grading is a cautious VG+ simply because of the slight warping to the card, other than that it is easily in excellent condition.   Some of these minor issues could well be improved upon given some gentle treatment/restoration/cleaning.
This is a superb condition example and should be treasured and revered. Kept in this condition, it would prove a wise investment. Vinyl has seen a sharp increase in value in the last 10 years and it's these iconic classics in this condition that will keep rising. True antiques of the future and ones that can be enjoyed, albeit carefully!
I'm listing this album with no reserve and a £1.00 start price so it can achieve a fair sale price based on fair competition.
I've given you the facts and condition of this incredible album to the best of my ability but please study the images carefully as well.
A superb copy of this classic album by arguably the greatest ever rock guitarist.
