Record Condition


The record is in very good condition - feint surface scratches visible under light - so has been played often but sound is very good with little deterioration in quiet sections 


Labels show some spindle wear 


Cover Condition 


As visible in pictures the cover shows the record impression to front. Some corner and edge wear. 


As is very usual with this album they were often turned inside out to hide the naked ladies cover. This often results in excessive wear to spine. In this case the spine has had a thin layer of tape applied on the inside, I haven't tried to remove.

 

Please see last picture there is a pen signature to the right of Hendrix head - alas this doesn't appear to be a Hendrix, Mitchell or Redding signature.
