JIMI HENDRIX - ELECTRIC LADYLAND
IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
THIS IS THE BEST COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN
A VAULT COPY WITH AN AMAZING RARE SLEEVE
CATALOGUE: TRACK 613008 / 9
MATRIX NUMBERS DISC 1: 613008 A//1 1 1 613008 B V 2 420 1 2
MATRIX NUMBERS DISC 2: 613009 A//1 1 1 613009 B//2 420 1 1 2
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ON BOTH A SIDES ARE PARTIALLY SCRATCHED OUT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL STAMING WAS INCORRECT AS THEY AHD THE WRONG NUMBERS ON EACH A SIDE. 613008 HAD 09 AND VISA VERSA. THE CORRECT DIGITS WERE ETCHES INTO THE VINYL MAKING THIS A GENUINE FIRST PRESS, AS LATER COPIES WERE CORRECTED AT THE PRESSING PLANT
THIS SUPERB COPY OF ELECTRIC LADYLAND IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING FROM THE MAGNIFICENT UNBLEMISHED RARE WIDESPINE SLEEVE( UNHEARD OF) TO THE STAGGERRING GLEAMING 2 PLAY VINYL. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THIS SET CAN EVER BE BETTERED. SOMEONE OUT THERE IS GOING TO GET ONE OF THE BEST COPIES OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM ON THE PLANET!!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SLIGHTLY ROUGH TEXTURED MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE SILVER LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY AIS IN PERFECT CONDITION ON BOTH DISCS, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE BUT TWO TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE TO SHOW THAT THE LP SET HAS HAD JUST TWO CAREFUL PLAYS SINCE 1968. IN FACT THE SECOND ALBUM ONLY HAS ONE SPIDER LINE NEAR THE HOLE, SO HAS ONLY HAD ONE PLAY... SUPERB
THE VINYL
I AM STAGGERED BY THE BRILLIANCE OF BOTH OF THESE DISCS. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD COME ACCROSS A COPY OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM THAT HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED, BUT HERE IT IS. BOTH DISCS GLEAM LIKE NEW, AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER ALBUM, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUIMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. ONCE AGAIN THIS IS THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER LAID EYES ON
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 SET 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, AND EVERY BIT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SILENT IS SILENT. IF I AM BEING PICKY THERE WERE A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS OVER THE WHOLE 2 ALBUM PLAY. PLEASEPLEASE TAKE ALISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE RECORDED AS THIS IS A FULL AND ACCURATE REFLECTION ON THE ENTIRE ALBUM. IT IS MAGNIFICENT, THERE IS NO OTHER WORD TO DESCRIBE IT, AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
I HAVE HAD MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM PASS THROUGH MY HANDS, BUT THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT QUESTION IS THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN OR TOUCHED. TO FIND A HALF DECENT SLEEVE IS RARE, BUT TO FIND ONE THAT HAS BEEN PRESERVED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW IS JUST INCREDIBLE. ADDED TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS WIDESPINE THAT I HAVE NEVER BEFORE SEEN ON ANY COPY OF THIS ALBUM SET. THE SLEEVE IS A GENUINE E.J DAY FIRST PRESS SLEEVE.
THE SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS BADLY FROM CREASING AND RING WEAR, BUT THIS COPY JUST BEGGARS BELIEF
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND JUST GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS OR DINGS ON THE CORNERS, AND ABSOLOUTELY NO RING WEAR OR EVEN MILD RECORD SHAPE. AMAZINGLY THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY FIND NEAR THE SPINE. THE ONLY MINISCULE LAMINATE LINES ARE TWO TINY ONES ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE BARELY NOTICABLE THUMB NAIL LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE SLEEVE RESIDING INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SINCE 1968.
THE SPINE IS AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED A VERY VERY RARE WIDESPINE. I WAS AMAZED TO SEE SUCH A THING AS I HAD NO IDEA IT EXISTED, BUT HERE IS MINT CONDITION IS THIS RARITY. NO LAMINATE PEEL OR PLAKE, JUST A PERFECTLY FLAT WIDESPINE WITH THE CONTINUATION OF THE NUDE LADT SCENE CLEARLY DEPICTED ON THIS WIDE EXPANSE OF LAMINATED CARD
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE AS SHARP AS THEY POSSIBLE COULD BE, AND THIS IS CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE LP'S HAVE REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE, HAVING ONLY RECEIVED TWO PLAYS IN 42 YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME REMARKABLE CONDITION AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A FULLY LAMINATED AND GLOSSY PAIR OF PANELS WHICH ARE AS IMMACULATE AS THE REST OF THIS SLEEVE.
THE TWO POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES ARE FLAT AND CLEAN AND BARELY HAVE A CREASE LINE ON THEM. THERE IS A SHADE OF BROWNING THROUGH AGE, BUT UNSPLIT AND VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED IN ALL THIS TIME
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE AN ELECTRIC LADYLAND SLEEVE AS ANYWHERE NEAR MINT, BUT THIS ONE FULLY JUSTIFIES A MINT MIUNS GRADING
THIS COPY WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
