Visual record grade: G+
Both records has a lot of scratches and scuff but these are not deep marks. They are superficial scratches but unfortunately these are a lot of them on both records. Necessarily you'll chceck out the sound quality descript cause there it looks different.
Quality sound grade:
Side B/C: VG-
This record definitely plays better than it looks. It does not jumps. Also there are no loud, pops althouht there are moments where you can hear a bit louder noises. They may cause a little listening discomfort. There are also static clicks sometimes.
Side A/D: G- Over here on this disc actually weird... I gave an overall grade as G- however to give you a full view of the situation I have to describe each track a separately.
Side A:
And The Gods Made Love - I will not lie. This track is imposible to listen to... There is terrible sound quality. The needle stops in a few places and doesn't go any to next, and the sound loops. Perchance to needle stops in some places and after some time a jump occurs. There is also a lot of noise and crackles here.Unfortunately this piece has to be skipped... Only in the last minute of this track you can listen it, but I advise against... Definitely Poor!
Have You Ever Been - starts with strong noises and "frying" in background. This is until about the first minute of the song. Later there are only static clicks and in some places rather less annoying noises. G
Cross Town Traffic - it's pretty good here. We can hear a small crakling in a few places. You can hear also static clicks and "frying effect" in a few quieter moments. However that is not very annoying. G+
Voodoo Chile - He's not jumping. There are may be a few clicks which do not cause a lot of discomfort during listening session. Besides noise in a few places. Slightly better than previous track. VG-
Side D: Still Raining, Still Dreaming - same matter as in the first track from side A... Unable to listen... Poor!
House Burning Down - some noise and a most static clicks. In a few places you can hear crackling - thete are bearable. G
All Along The Watchtower - unfortunately, the most important track on the album, although it has quite not much a static clicks during the listening session and no noise or crackles, however there are still skips in a few times. It is listenable and if you weren't for the 4, maybe 5 jumps, it would be really nice. But unluckely there are these jumps. Fair-
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - this sound is ok. I think I can write the same as I wrote about the first part of this track on side A. I rate on VG-
Cover: VG
The famous banned in US cover which to show naked women. I'v gotta not a write about is rather. THE BLUE TEXT inside cover!
When it comes to cover of condition - it has kept laminate. The front sleeve is very well preserved and the one clear defect there are the wrinkles that you can see on photos clearly. The back of sleeve in slightly worse condition cause there the paint has broken in three places. Also I show it on photos exactly. Besides that there are NO tears, NO dirt, NO inscriptions, NO dirt or another defects.The spine also looks decent. Corners are a bit worn although this not a large defect. I think that for the age of this album - 52 years! the abrasions are very small anyway.
When you unfold the cover, you'll see Jimi's portrait, two photos of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding by Donald's Silverstein and... BLUE TEXT of course! I would judge the condition of the cover inside a same as the front. The only problem are folds/wrinkles. The sleeve is folded in half, it is a quite worn and varnish has come off in some places. Besides, no defects, no tears, no internal inscriptions, no dirt or other. See photos!
If you want a more information or photos or movies from listening, simply you will sent me messege.
