A NIce EX vinyl stored copy,


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 referred to as his "Golden period" in "Swinging London 66/67"


Record is a 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 some light lines on both sides under light, and light removal marks, 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 static in between tracks has only some light static at start of track `ESP` may improve with a preffesional clean.  We dont do this its a personal thing.


This is EX 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 £400....


The original UK mono copies from 1967 are now so hard to find in this condition you can see `VGC` copies at £400+ is not unusual , A  `Ex vinyl ` under £400 is a bargain....! often these are over 500 gbp.


Photo of Jimis Mayfair London England residence is not included , it is where some of the songs were written though! also the Royal Mail postbox outside Jimis home is where he posted his postcards home to his Dad Al about his success in London 66 and 67.....


The record EX condition


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 near excellent  labels no writing, vinyl plays excellent nice audio.....  


The side 1 labels are in Excellent shape no writing or stickers some spindle lines there are some removal marks under strong light no skips or jumps on our Rega 3 plays Ex its a pleasure to listen.


In EX vinyl condition with some light scuffs from sleeve removal and general hairlines on both sides, which do not disrupt play,there is very light static, bear in mind this is a 50 year old vinyl record! it has some hairlines 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 at intro but 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!
