I was recently handed a small Jimi Hendrix collection to disperse, and have pulled some of the rarities out for your consideration.

This album has been cleaned with a VPI vacuum record cleaning machine using Nitty Gritty solution.  It was then played completely on a system based on Mark Levinson and McIntosh electronics on a Technics SL 1500 turntable with a $200 Grado cartridge, through new Magnaplanar speakers, looking for skips or pops, or noise that overpowers the recording.  Then it was graded conservatively by an expert using the Goldmine system chart at as a guide.  After grading each disc was placed in a new audiophile quality fully lined sleeve and the cover was protected by a new clear plastic envelope.  You can buy this album with full confidence that the description is accurate.

This particular LP is noted by its spacey artwork in a slick foldout design that features a full length picture of Jimi playing a Gibson Flying V, not his usual Stratocaster.  Higher production values such as an actual label that identifies it as a Barclay Stereo #80491, one of many that rushed into production after his death to make some money or fulfill a contractual requirement.  It certainly was not anything Jimi would have approved if he’d had a say, so in that respect it’s a diehard collector piece of studio outtakes, I think.  The rater says it deserves a VG+ for the record, and notes that it has nice sound, with bass and treble channels clear.  The cover is also VG+, with frayed corners, but good clean artwork.

So if you’d consider this one for your collection, here is a decent copy at a reasonable price, hopefully.  Thanks for looking.  :-{)}
