Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarity and attraction to collectors " Excellent vinyl Condition " this has fantastic clear audio!

EX collectable copy clear audio no skips or jumps on our Rega 3, would grade vinyls as Ex condition, ( some small light and hairlines scuffs and removal scuffs which don't affect playback) a little static in quieter passages which may improve with a professional clean. Jimi on its launch said " I made this album with Stereo in mind" so listen..

Tracks include , Electric Ladyland, Crosstown Traffic, Gipsy Eyes, Voodoo Chile (extended original version and slight return) Long Hot Summer Night...Rainyday women, Come on... most;y recorded in Electric Lady studios in Greenwich Village New York in 68 Jimmy was living and playing there every day and the music here is some of his best work ... photos of Electric Lady Studios NYC and Olympic studios in London are not included , also Jimis Mayfair flat where a lot of the songs were written. as Jimi said at the time "i made this album with "stereo" in mind , " great colors to describe the sky .....


The double album sells now with "Blue Text" for at least £650+ in this condition buy the white text copy here for a little less... The "Electric Ladyland" Album on original track labels 1st pressings at a great price ... this record sounds so good and clear, no problems to report. this is the original 1968 first press Matrixes on UK Track records.


The Sleeve


The "Ladies" cover EX Condition+(cover) pictures in the listing are of the item for sale " what you see is what you get here"

Light laminate creasing on the front and rear of the sleeve, minor ringwear at front, overall great laminate condition in photos, no writing, names, in great shape for 56years! kept safe in its pvc sleeve for many years , its not perfect as this has been handled and is almost 56.

The spine has LIGHT rubbing in the central area and from storage removal the SPINE IS SOLID only laminate creases  , the gatefold pics and inside laminate very clean with only slight creasing. No rips, tears or worrying fault repairs.


The records


label with A side D on disc NO ERROR! (a two record set) Label B and C is labeled (a two record set) normal to explain these were made for old style auto changers so you could play side A then drop side B, then then turn both over drop side C then D etc....(perish the thought!) but yes they did! NOTE we see many reports of "hey Ive got a rare press A and D..." (this is Normal ) like this one. excellent A1 B2 and A2 B2 "Hand Etched and corrected 8" the matrix which isn't on later copies we have seen... This is very early in the run in our view... great vivid labels some spindle marks plays clean, very light lines only with some hairlines and small removal scuffs no issues on our Rega 3 or the super fussy light tracking Kenwood deck we use to grade, very few pops and clicks in quiter parts but nothing to disrupt pleasure of this great recording (we have not cleaned as this is a personal thing) this is a first press in great order! the "acid test" of the intro to "And the Gods Made Love" and the strart to "Rainy Day" are clean amazing audio from this 56 year old. no writing stickers or names on labels. a two record set Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing clear bass, 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 nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3. any questions please ask! Overall a great no worrying faults copy!
