Rare original Track Record double LP, this one has the white text but with Jimi on the left (behind front cover) and Redding & Mitchell to the right.
As you can see from the pictures, the sleeve is not in a good way! Front cover is the worst, no original inners, records show spindle marks, again see the photos, there are marks and scratches on the records, some are worse than others, cheap way to get a first press. As I have described this, I have not play tested it as I'm not putting it on my stereo, no refunds or returns accepted on this

Hendrix portrait on left-hand side when opening the gatefold cover. All other UK versions have Hendrix on the right-hand side.

Gatefold cover spread has 'unwrapped/floating' gloss laminate applied. Matt print areas left exposed at the two cut edges where the vinyls is inserted. 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).

Small sepia images of Redding & Mitchell to the right (Back cover behind them), with inside text below them. "Track Record" logo centered.
Printer`s name to the very end of the longest textline.
