The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland

Vinyl playback is closer to VG+. Minimal infrequent noise that don't overpower the playback, remains strong! Labels are decent, sleeve showing signs of wear at opening and cracking to gloss cover. Gatefold was turned inside out, causing spine to wear through. All of our records are shipped with protective polythene covers and secured in sturdy packaging. Carefully stored in a humidified environment and tested on high-quality equipment for optimal sound clarity.
 

Notes:

A correction run of erroneous covers, featuring the controversial image (censored by some outlets at the time) of naked ladies on front/back. Made at the same time ('pre-release') as the 'white text' covers. Like the 'pre-release' white text covers, they will have '098' (September 1968) or '108' (October 1968) printed on the inner sleeves. Cover is fully laminated inside and out. 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). Hendrix portrait on right-hand side (Back cover behind it). Large sepia images of Redding & Mitchell on left (Front cover behind it), with blue tracks/credit text below them. "Track Record" logo center, E.J.Day print data to left. Erratic use of upper & lower-case in titles. Discs in poly-lined white paper punch-hole sleeves.
