♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪
The historical importance of
this album cannot be overestimated. Recorded almost immediately after the
Hendrix's first album, "Axis" finds Jimi elaborating on his ideas
previously experimented on "Are you experienced", but with much more
subtlety and finesse and considerably more pronounced psychedelic
"feel" (just check the cover and be instantly experienced!). Some of
the most important - and beloved - Hendrix tracks are here. We have a privilege
of presenting here a copy from the fast-depleting stock of mega-rare first
pressings, on the original 3-color Reprise label. Track listing: EXP - Up from
the skies - Spanish Castle Magic - Wait until tomorrow - Ain't no telling -
Little wing - If 6 was 9 - You got me floating - Castles made of sand - She's
so fine - One rainy wish - Little miss lover - Bold as love.
For its extraordinary
contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine
musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous
generations of musicians, writers and general public, or for some other innate
quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the
largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever
organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC
Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy
Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben
Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce
Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ
Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who
wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete
Wingfield, etc.). For more details, see: "Critics Choice: Top-200 albums"

CONDITION:
·
RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE:
unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!;
we grade records under the strong,
diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a)
WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT.
Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably
inaudible, and do not affect visual
integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and
the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
(b)
The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible
vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually,
the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even
dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital
recording!
(c)
(ORIGINAL) Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far
more preferable to its stereo
counterpart. We think that the mix is more natural, humane, "organic"
and that the mixes are somewhat different than on the stereo version. We
estimate that stereo copies of this album outnumber mono pressings by a ratio
of at least 500: 1.
(d)
Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior,
digital recording!!!
