· TIMOTHY LEARY with JIMI HENDRIX, STEPHEN STILLS, JOHN SEBASTIAN AND BUDDY MILES (ALL UNCREDITED) - YOU CAN BE ANYONE THIS TIME AROUND - ORIGINAL 1970 DOUGLAS RECORDS STEREO LP DOUGLAS-1
· ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING
· ORIGINAL GRAY DOUGLAS LABEL WITH RED PRINT
· SERRATED EDGE PRESSING (APPARENTLY, AN ABC-IMPULSE PRESSING)
· WE BELIEVE THIS WAS THE LAST JIMI HENDRIX STUDIO RECORDING RELEASED IN HIS LIFETIME, ALTHOUGH IT WAS LIKELY RECORDED IN EARLY 1970, JUST BEFORE HENDRIX FIRED BUDDY MILES FROM THE BAND OF GYPSYS: THE PRESS KIT INCLUDED WITH ONE OF THE COPIES OF THIS ALBUM WE AUCTIONED PREVIOUSLY WAS DATED AUGUST 19, 1970, WHEREAS JIMI HENDRIX DIED LESS THAN A MONTH LATER; IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT HENDRIX DIED WITHOUT EVER SEEING A COPY OF THIS ALBUM.
· THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.
· ORIGINAL GATEFOLD COVER, MADE OF THICK CARDBOARD (AMERICAN STYLE)
· FAIRLY THICK VINYL PRESSING On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least thick, and 10 being the thickest), we assess the thickness of the vinyl as 7.
· CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS
· MATRIX NUMBER IN TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) ENDS WITH '-1A/-1B'. ON SOME LABELS, SUFFIX '–1' DENOTES THE VERY FIRST, ORIGINAL PRESSING)
(►PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)
(Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you’ll get. GUARANTEED!)

We still don't know how to characterize this Timothy Leary/Jimi Hendrix collaboration: this is part Jimi Hendrix' Voodoo Jam, part Hare Krishna chant, part Psychedelic Freakout, part Hypnotic session, part Acid party, part dadaist tone poem, part lecture in psychiatry, part beatnik poetry, part Buddhist mantra, part novelty item, and part sheer silliness of the sixties. In any event, it - surprisingly - works on some strange subliminal level.
Of all the albums by other artists Jimi Hendrix played on (and there is only a handful of those - we can think of about 5-8 titles at most; works by Love, Stephen Stills, Martha Velez, Heir Apparent, Timothy Leary, Isley Brothers, Cat Mother…), this Timothy Leary collaboration is probably the toughest one to find and, last time we checked, it was unavailable on compact disc or any other format in more than a decade. Jimi's instantly recognizable patterns can be discerned on the extended jam on side 2, and possibly on parts of two songs on side 1. Miss out this mega-rarity only if you are stoned silly.

· CONDITION:
· THE 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 EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
(b) The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.
(c) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
· THE COVER
THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 4; Inside gatefold has some light ring wear as well.
- Cover has two tiny, almost invisible, pinholes (or staple holes) in one corner. These tiny holes are NOT cutout holes.
- Cover has some visible fraying/tattering on the top seams
- Visible shelf wear noted on the bottom seam and spine
- Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged
- Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.
- The gatefold cover has partially split seams on 1 out of 4 "legs" of the cover (less than 1 inch = 2.5 centimeters).
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
