Description

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis Bold As Love        1967 UK Mono
Track Record # 612 003
Stampers:

612 003   A ? 1

612 003   B  ?    1


CONDITION (VINYL) Vinyl has many hairlines and some marks, some needle burn.  See track by track breakdown. Audio file samples are included in the below links in both HIGH resolution and standard CD resolution. (I did not want to use MP3 files as I wanted you to hear all the detail possible - good and bad.)
This is mostly VG.  Some is VG+ even EX on a few tracks, some tracks have some loud pops (G+ to VG-). It is difficult to grade since different tracks sound great, while others have issues. There are no skips, no jumps, and no deep gashes etc.   But there is some needle burn showing (though oddly enough those tracks don't seem to exhibit the typical needle burn issues).
A1, A2  medium crackle A3, A4  sounds strong, VG+ just about   (A4 shows needle burn marks) A5  some crackle at beginning, then cleans up quite a bit A6  crackle at quiet intro, then cleans up, then some pops at end A7  crackle - with some pops occurring midway through.
B1  light occassional crackle but 2 big pops, then 3 small pops B2  some scuff sounds (round and round) various crackle, ticks at end B3, B4  medium crackle, but most sounds pretty strong  (B4 shows needle burn marks) B5, B6  mild to medium crackle, but again most sounds pretty good
I point out the problem areas above so if you decide to listen to the audio files (which contain the complete tracks), you can immediately go to those key problem areas.
Audio Files to listen to samples: (High Resolution 96k/24bit files are available. If you are not able to play those I have  also included a link for standard CD resolution files.) No EQ or anything applied to the files.   Just straight (dry) right from the album.
Link for 96k / 48bit (High resolution):    https://app.box.com/s/pneaf31t8oaalckzvsbl Link for 44k / 16bit (CD resolution):      https://app.box.com/s/ag2ytgzi9h7gwl07uahv
EQUIPMENT USED FOR SAMPLES: Turntable:   Pro-ject RM 5.1 SE Cartridge:   Bronze Ortofon 2M     (with about 25 hours play time)

CONDITION (COVER) Cover is VG with various laminate flaking off (see photos).  Has various wear along edges, corners and a seam split starting (again, see photos) Does not contain the original inner orange sleeve.
No cut outs No hole punches No saw cuts No stickers No writing etc.
Definitely not a near mint copy here - but still a very cool rare original mono mix which definitely jams stronger at times than the more common stereo mixes. It has it's issues for sure ..... but still pretty cool as a filler until you can find a nice  near mint copy at some point (if that's what you're looking for).  It is what it is.
If you don't like it....  send it on back.  No questions.    I'd rather you be happy with something you purchase than feel stuck with something you don't like.
