HENDRIX " AXIS BOLD AS LOVE "UK TRACK STEREO RARE LABEL

	£		133
	$		176

  WOW!!! NOT ONLY A SUPER COPY OF A  VERY SORT AFTER MUCH RARER STEREO PRESSING WITH EARLIEST A1 B1 MATRICIES AND LOVELY SLEEVE AND VINYL BUT ALSO WITH THE EARLIEST " CONCENTRIC " RINGED LABELS L@@K....

BEFORE 1968 TRACK ( AS WELL AS -REACTION-FONTANA-PHILLIPS ) PRESSINGS HAD TWO DISTINCT CONCENTRIC RINGS IN THE CENTRE ( SEE EXAMPLE PICS ) BY THE END OF 1967 THESE HAD BEEN PHASED OUT IN FAVOUR OF THE MORE STANDARD CENTRAL RING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE EARLIER LABELS ALSO HAD A SLIGHTLY MORE TEXTURED FINISH.

DOUBLE RING PRESSING

MORE COMMON POST 67 EXAMPLE

IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS THE LATER POST 67 SINGLE RING PRESSINGS ARE PRETTY MUCH IDENTICAL BUT ONLY TRUE FIRST PRESSINGS HAD THESE TEXTURED DOUBLE RINGS AND ARE RARELY SEEN ON THIS LP WHICH WAS RELEASED LATE IN 1967 AT THE TIME WHEN THESE PRESSINGS WERE BEING PHASED OUT. ( DISRAELI GEARS IS ANOTHER LP WHERE THESE RINGS APPEAR ONLY THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS AND ARE EQUALLY AS RARE ).   

FURTHER MORE IN 1967 MOST LPS WERE STILL MOSTLY ONLY PRESSED IN MONO, STEREO COPIES USUALLY ONLY BEING AVAILIABLE USUALLY BY SPECIAL ORDER FROM LOCAL RECORD DEALERS , CONSEQUENTLY ORIGINAL 60'S STEREO COPIES ARE MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN THEIR MONO COUNTERPARTS AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION EVEN UP UNTIL LATE 1968, INDEED JIMI'S FIRST LP OF A FEW MONTHS EARLIER THAN THIS WAS ONLY PRESSED IN MONO AND ONLY HAD A STEREO RELEASE IN THE EARLY 70'S !!

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTS  Furthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED

FOR ALL ITEMS DOMESTIC DISPATCH COSTS IN THE UK WILL BE VIA RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT AND  IS GBP 4.99 FOR A double LP, IF ANY BODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW 

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SORT AFTER HENDRIX LP'S, AND A VERY NICE COPY TOO, GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….international signed for mail costs for Europe is usually GBP 8.99 for one disc. For USA/rest of the world it is usually GBP 12.99 for one disc and 15.99 for two discs, see above for international returns policy...
