The rejected tracklist can be heard on The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland Part 1 and The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland Part 2.

This ghost text version is part of 'day of release' copies, along with the white type regular first version.
There is also a Version that has the Track Logo and the Credits on the left in white Colour instead of blue,

The record labels are as follows, side A is backed with side D, side B is backed with side C. 

Inners have the British patent no. 800513 & 973939 --- Made in England 

Gatefold opens to view inner spread (glued to outer cover's inside tabs as separate element). Gloss laminate may expose matt areas on all four edges because of laminate shrinkage. (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.

Matt texture 'Version 1' labels with additional inverted catalog in parenthesis.

Runouts: 'x' indicates a scratched out letter or number

CONDITION 

RECORD IS VERY NEAR MINT, LOVELY WITH A DEEP GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. OBVIOUSLY PLAYED MAYBE 4-5 TIMES FROM MEMORY SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE IN 1968, AMAZING, ALMOST SHOP FRESH CONDITION !!!

I CAN ONLY SEE A COUPLE OF  VERY FEINT SLEEVE REMOVAL / HAIRLINES IN TOTAL ACROSS ALL 4 SIDES, BUT ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT AT ALL ON THE AUDIO PLAYBACK,  (SEE PICS)

THE CENTRE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY VERY FEINT TINY SPINDLE MARKS (ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ) CONFINED TO THE DISC CENTRES EACH SIDE, CONFIRMING THE 4-5 CAREFUL PLAYS IN 55 YEARS !! SUPERB !! 

THEREFORE OBVIOUSLY , A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAYTESTED ON MY REGA TURNTABLE, TINY STATIC AT RUN INS ONLY, APRO CLEAN WOULD PROBABLY EVEN ILLINATE THIS ENTIRELY ? FURTUR IMPROVING AN ALREADY SUPERB LISTENING EXPERIENCE !!!

THE RARE GATEFOLD OUTER SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT / EX+ ON THIS MUCH SORT AFTER BLUE GHOST TEXT COPY, STILL VERY GLOSSY LOOKING, JUST  A COUPLE OF SMALL LAMINATE CREASES ARE PRESENT INSIDE THE GATEFOLD,SOME VERY MINIMAL CORNER WEAR ONLY, NO SPLITS, TEARS OR  WRITING ETC STILL STRONG OPENING EDGES AND THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE STILL.
