JIMI HENDRIX - ELECTRIC LADYLAND
IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
FIRST POLYDOR PRESS
UNBELIEVABLE 1 PLAY CONDITION
- CATALOGUE:POLYDOR 2310269
- SET NUMBER: 3657-012
- MATRIX: / 2310269 A//4/ 613008 / B(SCRATCHED OUT)A//10 /2310270 C//2 / B//5
- AN INTERESTING ANOMONLY WHICH I HAVE NOT SEEN ON A POLYDOR RELEASE BEFORE. WHERE SIDE D HAS THE MATRIX NUMBER FOR THE TRACK ORIGINAL 1968 PRESS (613008) USUALLY THIS WOULD BE 231069. AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS THE CORRECT 'B' SCRATCHED OUT AND REPLACED WITH A//10 IS INDEED SURPRISING
- THERE WERE 2 POLYDOR REISSUES OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM. THE FIRST (THIS ONE) HAS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER 2657-012 AND WAS ISSUED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IN 1973
THE SECOND WAS ISSUED ON FLIMSY WAFER THIN VINYL IN 1984 CATALOGUE SPDLP 3
THE OTHER PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCE WAS THAT THE 1973 ISSUE HAD A LAMINATED SLEEVE WHERAS THE 84 ISSUE DID NOT
THE 73 ISSUE WAS TAKEN FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES THE 84 REISSUE WAS CERTAINLY NOT
THE QUALITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT
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. I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE SET HAS EITHER HAD ONE CAREFUL PLAY OR PERHAPS NOT AT ALL.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
THE VINYL
THE VINYLS GLEAM LIKE BRAND NEW DISCS. THEY HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING. TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF RANDOM WISPY LINES
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 EIGHT COMPLETE TRACKS FROM THIS DOUBLE ALBUM I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS BY FIND ING AND THEN HEARING THIS BARELY PLAYED LP SET. . THE WHOLE THING PLAYS TO A MAGNIFICENT STANDARD. WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION, AND A SUPERB STEREO PERFORMANCE. THERE ARE NO CLICKS OR CRACKLES, JUST THE VERY ODD BIT OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE QUIETER SPOTS, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY.
BOTH ALBUMS PLAY BEAUTIFULLLY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
FANTASTIC SLEEVE WITH A MAGNIFICENT WIDE SPINE WHICH IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF. THE SLEEVE IS A LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM HOWARDS OF SLOUGH.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND GLEAMS LIKE A NEW SLEEVE WITH A LAMINATED SURFACE THAT IS UNCREASED IN ANY WAY. AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE AND THREE OR FOUR MORE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR EITHER. THIS IS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE IN PERFECT CONDITION.
THE SPINE IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS PERFECTLY FLAT, AND TOTALLY UNMARKED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT.IT IS ALSO THE RARER WIDE SPINE
THE OPENING EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP, AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THESE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE DISCS HAVE REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR THE PAST 37 YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND GLEAMING AS THE FRONT SIDE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PAIR OF PRISTINE LAMINATED PANELS AGAIN IN MINT CONDITION
THE TWO POLY LINED INNER SLEEVS ARE THE ORIGINAL ISSUES AND BOTH ARE IN MINT CONDITION, WHICH IS ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE LPS HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED OR HANDLED
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
