With the a superb reproduction  orange Lyric sheet!

really nice sleeve see spine picture very clean!


The rarest of the London 1967 Classic UK "Black track" recordings in superb Mono!


Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK Black Track pressing and is priced for its rarety and attraction to collectors rather than for its condition

this is a 50 year old vinyl 1st pressing!


A Very NIce close to excellent copy,very clean


Jimi Hendrix second album on Track released in 1967 , recorded April, May 67 in Olympic studios London , this followed "are you experienced" in the same year as Jimi was required to produce 2 albums for Track in that year, Jimi was playing and recording in London almost every day so this was no problem for the experience.


Buy this with the Mono Smash Hits copy we are selling and you get a flavour of the Jimi Hendrix output from is refered to as his "Golden period" in "Swinging London 66/67"


Record is a Near Ex copy no skips or jumps,


Cover is near Ex! "Made in Great Britain" at 6 oclock on the "Classic Black Track UK" mono label! as it should be on UK 1st pressing.


There are light surface lines on both sides, some scuffs, some hairlines and removal marks and light scuffs under strong light, this is the original iconic Black UK Track label from 1967 nothing detracts on playback superb! it has no skips or jumps or sticks.there are some light clicks in between tracks but close to Excellent!has some clicks ar start of track `ESP` some static in other places nothing serious may improve with a preffesional clean.  We dont do this its a personal thing.


This is not a MINT or Archieve copy it has been played but a great affordable buy for any collector, this Jimis second track recording from 1967 is we believe harder to find than the first record ... here it is under £380....


The original UK mono copies from 1967 are now so hard to find in this condition you can see `VGC` copies at £450+ is not unusual , here in `Nr Ex` for less than £380 is a bargain....!


Photo of Jimis Mayfair London England residence is not included , it is where some of the songs were written though!


The record Near Excellent condition

(close to excellent on most tracks)


This is a mono copy and sounds awesome and easily our favourite over the stereo copies.


A1 B1 matrixes with "inverted triangle" on runout very very early 1st press copy!


Super clean labels no writing


This is in Near Excellent shape no writing or stickers on labels, has some surface lines, hairlines a few spindle lines there are some removal scuffs and hairlines under strong light no skips or jumps on our Rega 3.


In Near Ex condition with some visible scuffs from sleeve removal and general light scratching on both sides, scuffs from removal which show but do not disrupt play,there is static, from handling over the years, bear in mind this is a 50 year old vinyl record! it has some hairlines and crazing to the vinyl under light which we tried to show in photos. no skips or jumps.

Nice fat pre oil crisis 60s vinyl wow !very flat on the table, test played on 2 decks wow great audio.


Plays through superb on the Rega 3


So thick and fat vinyl..very flat on then table.


See pictures in the listing you can see the light surface lines on the record. nothing seroius and it plays through without disruption no skips or jumps and fully play tested on 2 decks one very light tracking Kenwood deck which normally shows any defect.


There is some slight static in quieter passages and intros ,the 30 second vocal track "ESP" has a little noise at intro but pretty clear after...

Plays clear with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but not many of those!


The Cover is Near Excellent


Been kept in a PVC sleeve for most of its life in great shape from a smoke free home.


This copy has its original "Plastic Bags can be Dangerous" inner sleeve in good order, also supplied with a quality new inner sleeve.


Bright vibrant colour no writing stickers or tears, spine is in good order a real keeper see photos in listing.


Having done it's job over 50 years the sleeve has little rounding at corners rounded but no visible ringwear at the rear (see photos)and a little fraying in place but overall it holding up well.

There is a little fraying at record exit side but overall a great sleeve.Laminate holding up well.


No splits or tears, colours are good and not a lot fading, the thick card holds up well, no writing , names or stickers.


on the whole a great sleeve and a very very collectable vinyl. there is some rounding to corners . spine is in great shape,


a great Dave King design EJ day (London) sleeve.


The super rare *Orange lyric* Insert is present its a reproduction very faithfull to the original early copies had this , how many remain now? so this is a good quality repro sourced on quality paper.


*see photos) no writing names etc.
