First press V1 Gatefold Sleeve 1968

First press with V1 (Version 1) gatefold sleeve, featuring the image of naked ladies on front/back. 

Cover spread has 'unwrapped/floating' gloss laminate applied, matt print areas left exposed at the two cut edges where the albums insert. 

Gatefold opens to view inner spread (glued to outer cover's inside tabs as separate element). Gloss laminate exposing matt areas on all four edges. (Effectively, the sleeve is a flattened 2-piece cardboard tube). 

Hendrix portrait on right-hand side (Back cover behind it). 

Large sepia images of Redding & Mitchell on left (Front cover behind it), with blue tracks/credit text below them. "Track Record" logo center, E.J.Day print data to left. Erratic use of upper & lower-case in titles. 

CONDITION

SLEEVE - the binding edge has wear this is probably due to the fact the previous owner stored the record with the gatefold folded inward to conceal the naked ladies cover - there is also a small ding to the cover over one of the ladies faces - the last two pictures show the edge wear of the sleeve 

RECORD - few scratches visible under very strong light but these don't affect play the records are in good to very good condition
