Rock and roll has a long history of controversial album covers. This is one of them! 
Here is a beautiful original UK 1st pressing of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s double album masterpiece, “Electric Ladyland”.  This is the rare 1968 Track Polydor pressing, with the controversial nude album cover. Hendrix expressed initial displeasure and surprise with this "naked lady" cover but later told Rolling Stone Magazine that he "dug it anyway".


The laminated gatefold album cover is stone NM condition. Absolute nicest copy of this original classic I have personally ever seen! The discs are both NM, with almost no marks. I cannot emphasize the rarity of this condition.

Top copy collectible condition!!!! You will not be disappointed!
