Jimi Hendrix :  "Hendrix In The West"    LP      

Reprise MS 2049  (1972)

Original gatefold jacket version.


Captures live performances from 1969 and 1970, including stunning renditions of "Red House", "Little Wing" and "Voodoo Chile".  Excellent sound quality throughout.


Matrix numbers etched in the dead wax read :

Side 1:   T1   MS-2049   31296-2-1   STERLING   RL

Side 2:   T1   MS-2049   31297-1-1   STERLING   RL

 





Vinyl:  NM-


Superb gloss remains.  A few very light superficial surface marks / hairlines are visible but have no discernible impact on sound quality.  Plays just shy of "like new", with only traces of surface noise ("crackle") audible between some tracks and during a few quiet passages.

Labels are clean and bright.

  


                                                      (SEE PHOTOS)



Jacket:  VG- on outside of gatefold;  EX+ on inside of gatefold


Significant ring and rub wear front and back.

Inside gatefold area in EX+ condition: photos are rich and clear, print is crystal clear.

Seams and spine are solid, with modest rub wear. 

Spine print remains clearly legible.

My Profile / Policies:

Note:  I've qualified for the "Top Rated Plus" seal from eBay, awarded to sellers who consistently deliver outstanding customer service.

Music is my passion.  I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.  

All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

All are play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.

As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.

All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.

International customers pay shipping costs and duties per the eBay Global Shipping Program guidelines. 

Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
