Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.

I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer.

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland - Earliest Stereo - Black and Silver 1st Press Track Labels with inverted matrix numbers above Correct matrix numbers - Etched out matrix numbers in run offs -  1st UK Pressing Very rare BLUE TEXT Sleeve

613009

1968

Side A : 61300##8 A//1 1 1
Side D : 61300#8 B//1 1 1
Side B : 61300#9 A#//1 1 1
Side C : Hand written 613009 B ######## //1 1 2 0

(## indicates etched out matrix, hand written replacement letters/numbers) ((Numbers that follow matrix are very faint, the above is as I see them)

Side A has no apparent marks at all even under strong artificial light, I would say at most it has the odd very very faint sleeve removal hairline, lovely shine.

Side D has no apparent marks at all even under strong artificial light, I would say at most it has the odd very very small sleeve removal hairline, lovely shine

Side B has no apparent marks at all even under strong artificial light, I would say at most it has the odd very very faint sleeve removal hairline, lovely shine.

Side C has one small scuff mark under strong artificial light, I would say it also at most it has the odd very very small sleeve removal hairline, lovely shine

I'd go as far as to say EX+ overall vinyl grading

1st Press Stereo Labels are both clean and free from damage and wear, under strong artificial light there are a few spiders legs (But I doubt it's been played more than a handful of times)

Labels are EX+

Original 1st press Stereo Sleeve Laminated front and back, Iconic Naked ladies front and back. Inside It has  Hedrix Photo, Large Mitch and Noel Photos and Blue Text...Some say the rarest issue with the white track logo, but I won't get in to which Blue sleeve came first!!! The Front and Back (Naked ladies) are generally flat and clean, still has a shine but does have the odd laminate crease. The opening edge has light wear, top edge has light wear, corners have wear and spine has wear at the top and in the middle (looks like it's started to split but its not to obvious. Now the inside, Above Jimis head there are laminate creases (where the record shape is) and the same at the bottom either side of the blue text. These 1st press sleeves were notorious for the poor laminate and creasing, this wasn't solved until the polydor issues. Center crease shows wear and is a bit grubby, but the middle area of each half are flat and clean, again some edge wear. This is an honest description of a very very rare sleeve.

Super rare 1st press with lovely vinyls, and that Blue text sleeve.

I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light, I will not listen to every LP, I will listen to the rarer ones and give a play grading. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?

With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.

Any questions...please ask.

I will not post to Russia or Australia...sorry.

Premium quality record mailers will be used with 2 sheets of additional cardboard.
