Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Johnny Winter, Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding 1970 “Skyhigh” Live Vinyl LP.

This is an unofficial LP of a live jam between Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Johnny Winter, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding in 1970 labeled as from the Record Plant. It is more likely to be a known jam from the Scene Club in New York City from 1968.

Near Mint

Matrix numbers A: 206A B: 206B

This album has been owned by me since new and only played twice. Once being the play grading for this sale. It was bought sometime in the early 1980’s.

The album has one small scuff mark but otherwise is flawless and near mint.

The cover still has the original plastic wrapper.

The labels are clean and have no spindle marking.

The cover is near mint, as new with no edge wear.

The record plays as new with only the basic surface noise you would expect from a new album.

The vinyl is an obvious live recording and has not been mastered by the Record Plant. Hendrix was a fan of recording his jams on a Sony two track recorder he took with him on tours. This was a recording meant for his own use not for release never the less it has been issued as is. The recording is quite lo-fi however still a great interesting listen. The recordings are thought to be around the time he was preparing for the Electric Ladyland sessions.

The history of this jam session  can be found here on Wikipedia.

Tracks as credited to this album by Wikipedia, there are no track listings on the album itself.  I found it difficult to recognise all these tracks. It is best to consider the album an historic jam from the era.The tracks are not particularly in this order:

 "Red House" (Jimi Hendrix)

        "Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead"  

             "Bleeding Heart" (Elmore James)

                   "Morrison's Lament"  

          "Tomorrow Never Knows" (John Lennon, Paul McCartney)

                     "Uranus Rock"  

            "Outside Woman Blues" (Blind Joe Reynolds)

               "Sunshine of Your Love" (Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Pete Brown)

I take care and package the records I sell in professional record mailers with plenty of bubble wrap and glad-wrap for protection against any wet and rough circumstances.

Play or Visual Grading

I state in my listing whether an album has been play or visual graded.

 Play Graded Vinyl:

I always “play grade” the more expensive rarer hard to find albums and others when I can but it is not always possible for me to have the time to play them all.

 Visually Graded Vinyl:

I “visually grade” an album using a strong halogen lamp. My formula is that if a visual grading is “excellent” I will take it back a grading to “very good” and so on. A visual grading can pick up scratches and scuff marks indicating if the vinyl has been cared for but not always crackle and surface noises that have been caused by sources that you can’t see. I try to give as fair an assessment as possible.

I use the Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide as below.

2.  MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be     Mint.

3.  EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

4.  VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

5.  GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

6.  FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

7.  POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

8.  BAD The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
