ALTHOUGH I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF RECORDS OVER THE YEARS, EVERY SO OFTEN A RECORD COMES ALONG THAT STILL ASTOUNDS ME SOME RECORDS ARE BEYOND RARE - AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM. IT WAS RESCUED FROM DESTRUCTION PRIOR TO RELEASE, AND IS ALMOST CERTAINLY UNIQUE IT HAS DIFFERENT UNCORRECTED MATRIX S THAT WERE NEVER USED ON THE RELEASED VERSION - AND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MISPRINTED NUMBERED WITHDRAWN LABELS THAT HAVE ONLY EVER BEEN SEEN ONCE BEFORE IT IS A TRULY HISTORIC JIMI HENDRIX PIECE - AND WILL COMPLETELY CHANGE THE THINKING AND ORDER OF THIS DOUBLE LP FOREVER SO PLEASE READ ON ABOUT THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LP BELOW - AS THE CHANCES OF EVER SEEING, OR BEING ABLE TO BUY ANOTHER ONE ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO
On offer here is one of the RAREST Double LPs you will EVER see especially in
this condition by The Jimi Hendrix Experience called Electric Ladyland
and is an ORIGINAL 1968 UK Earliest 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Track
labels THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO
FIND THIS IS ONE OF JIMI HENDRIX S RAREST MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER
AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER
ONE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE TRACK LABEL - AND IS
INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO LOCATE TODAY BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP EVEN
RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE
AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS DOUBLE LP
THIS IS A 100 GENIUNE 1968 UK EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING - WITH MASSIVELY THICK
VINYL LATER ONES ARE THINNER , 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS LATER ONES
DONT , AND ULTRA RARE BLUE TEXT LARGE PICTURES OF NOEL REDDING
MITCH MITCHELL ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER LATER ONES DONT THEY HAVE SMALLER
PICTURES AND WHITE TEXT INSTEAD BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE WITH BLUE TEXT
LARGER INSIDE PICTURES - BEFORE THE COVER WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED IN THE
VERY FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY HANDFUL OF THE
EARLIEST 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY, WERE EVER MADE LIKE THIS - AND THEY ARE NOW
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE
THIS DOUBLE LP ALSO HAS THE INFAMOUS NUDE COVER
FRONT PICTURE, WHICH WAS BANNED IN MANY UK RECORD SHOPS AT THE TIME AND ALSO
BANNED IN MANY OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL AND NOW TAKING PICTURES OF
THE FRONT PICTURE HAS ALSO BEEN BANNED BY EBAY - WHICH IS WHY I CANNOT SHOW A
FULL PICTURE OF THE COVER FRONT SO IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY THERE IS
NO FRONT COVER PICTURE - THATS THE REASON
HOWEVER THERE ARE 2 OR 3 AMAZING
DETAILS SEE BELOW THAT MAKE THIS DOUBLE LP ALMOST UNIQUE AND TRULY
HISTORIC I HAVE ONLY EVER SEEN 1 OTHER COPY EXISTING INCREDIBLY IT HAS MISPRINTED NUMBERED WITHDRAWN LABELS AND UNCORRECTED MATRIXES - WHICH WERE NEVER EVER USED ON THE RELEASED VERSION AT ALL AND IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY AND
FACTUALLY CORRECT TO SAY THAT WITH THESE DETAILS THIS IS THE RAREST JIMI
HENDRIX LP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY OF COURSE, I AM QUITE RIGHTLY
CALLING THIS DOUBLE LP ALMOST UNIQUE AS AT PRESENT THAT IS FACTUALLY CORRECT, AS I
HAVE ONLY EVER SEEN 1 OTHER COPY EVER BEING OFFERED FOR SALE LIKE THIS -
EVER AND FROM THE SOURCE THIS DOUBLE LP CAME FROM, IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT BARELY ANY CAN POSSIBLY HAVE ESCAPED THE DESTRUCTION ORDER
THIS DOUBLE LP IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST SURVIVING EXAMPLES OF THE
FIRST EVER PRE-RELEASE UNCORRECTED COPIES MADE WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE
DATE THE REST WERE ALMOST CERTAINLY DESTROYED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT
OUT OF THE FACTORY. INDEED, THIS ONE ONLY SURVIVED BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER
ACTUALLY HELPED TO PUT THIS DOUBLE LP TOGETHER, AND RESCUED IT FROM
DESTRUCTION AND THE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES I WILL MENTION BELOW WILL
SIMPLY TURN ALL THOUGHTS OF THIS DOUBLE LP ON THEIR HEAD AS IT HAS ONLY EVER
BEEN SEEN ONCE BEFORE THIS DOUBLE LP WAS MADE BEFORE THE DECISION WAS
MADE TO CHANGE THE SIDE ORDER OF THE RECORDS CHANGE THE LABELS - AND IS
PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT JIMI HENDRIX LP EVER TO BE OFFERED FOR SALE -
EVER PLEASE READ ON BELOW - FOR THE FULL DETAILS:-
WHEN THIS DOUBLE LP WAS FINISHED IN THE STUDIO AND
EVERYONE WAS HAPPY WITH THE MIX, THIS DOUBLE LP WAS PREPARED IN THE NORMAL WAY
FOR RELEASE. THE FIRST BATCH OF RECORDS WERE MADE FOR APPROVAL AROUND 50
COPIES WITH THE NORMAL 1/2/3/4 RUNNING ORDER, AND THE COVER HAD BEEN FINISHED
AND WAS IN PRODUCTION. AND IMPORTANTLY JUST LIKE ALL PREVIOUS JIMI
HENDRIX TRACK LPs ARE YOU EXPERIENCED AXIS BOLD AS LOVE THE LABELS
WERE AS EXPECTED LABELLED SIDE 1 SIDE 2 SIDE 3 SIDE
4 HOWEVER - AT THE LAST MOMENT, THE DECISION WAS TAKEN TO CHANGE
THE ORDER OF THE SIDES TO SUIT THE NEW AT THE TIME AUTO CHANGER RECORD
MACHINES. AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE DECISION WAS ALSO TAKEN TO CHANGE THE
LABELS FROM THE PREVIOUS SIDE 1 SIDE 2 SIDE 3 SIDE 4 NUMBERING SYSTEM TO
THE NEW A/B/C/D LETTERING SYSTEM OF LABELING SIDES, TO AVOID CONFUSION AND SO
AFTER THE NUMBER SYSTEM WAS DROPPED, THE NEW AUTO CHANGER SIDE ORDER WAS A
D ON 1 RECORD, AND B C ON THE OTHER RECORD. THIS MEANT, THAT THE
AUTO CHANGER MACHINES WOULD DROP THE LP DOWN IN ORDER TO PLAY THE CORRECT
SIDES IN ORDER, AND TRACK WOULD AVOID ANY COMPLAINTS AS TO WHY THE SIDES WERE
ON DIFFERENT RECORDS AND AT THIS POINT ALL 50 COPIES OF THIS DOUBLE
LP WITH THE OLD LABELS SIDE 1 SIDE 2 SIDE 3 SIDE 4 WERE
ORDERED TO BE DESTROYED FOREVER WITH THIS ONE BEING RESCUED BY THE PREVIOUS
OWNER
HOWEVER THERE WAS STILL 1 MORE PROBLEM TO BE
ADDRESSED AND THIS WAS OF COURSE, THE MATRIX S RUNNING ORDER WITH THE
OLD COPIES HAVING THE NORMAL 1/2/3/4 RUNNING ORDER THE MOTHERS TO PRESS THE
RECORDS ALL HAD TO BE CHANGED SO RATHER THAN MAKING MORE MOTHERS FROM
SCRATCH - THE MATRIXES ON THE RECORDS WERE COMPLETELY RE WRITTEN ACTUALLY
OVERLAID ON TOP OF THE EXISTING STAMPED MATRIXES , AND THE RECORDS
COMPLETELY RE-CUT ONCE AGAIN FOR THE NEW RELEASE IN THE AUTO CHANGER ORDER
AND IN FACT, DEPENDING ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW - THIS DOUBLE LP ACTUALLY MAKES ALL
LATER RELEASED COPIES OF THIS DOUBLE LP WITH LOADS OF CORRECTIONS TO THE MATRIX S ACTUALLY ALL 2ND PRESSINGS, AS THE PRESSING MACHINES WERE ACTUALLY
STOPPED, AND EACH RECORD RE-CUT WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MATRIX S WITH MANY
CORRECTIONS SO IN REALITY - THIS DOUBLE LP IS ONE OF THE ONLY TRUE 1ST
PRESSINGS LEFT IN EXISTENCE - WITH ALL
LATER ONES INCLUDING ALL THE STANDARD RELEASED BLUE COVER COPIES ACTUALLY
BEING LATER PRESSINGS
I WILL NOW DESCRIBE ALL THE
DIFFERENCES TO THE MATRIXES, RECORDS LABELS BELOW - PROVING WITHOUT DOUBT THAT THIS DOUBLE LP ON
SALE HERE, IS THE EARLIEST RAREST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE
FIRSTLY THE MATRIX DIFFERENCES:- NORMAL RELEASED PRESSING LISTED
FIRST THE RAREST EARLIEST UNCORRECTED 1ST PRESSING LISTED
SECOND :-
THE NORMAL RELEASED FIRST PRESSINGS HAVE THESE MATRIX S BELOW IN THE A/D B/C AUTO CHANGE ORDER ON THE RECORDS MADE AFTER THE
DECISION TO CHANGE THE SIDE ORDER :-
RECORD 1:-
SIDE A 613008 THE 8 IS CROSSED THROUGH, THEN HAND
CORRECTED WRONGLY AND CROSSED THROUGH AGAIN, AND FINALLY CORRECTED PROPERLY WITH
A HAND ETCHED 8 A//1
SIDE D 613009 THE 9 IS CROSSED THOUGH, AND
THEN CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED 8 B//1
RECORD 2:-
SIDE B 613008 THE 8 IS CROSSED
THOUGH, AND THEN CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED 9 A//1 WITH THE A
ORIGINALLY BEING STAMPED B BUT CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED A
SIDE C ORIGINALLY THIS SIDE WAS STAMPED 613009 THE
9 IS CROSSED THOUGH, AND THEN CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED 8 A//1 HOWEVER
THERE WERE SO MANY ERRORS HERE THAT THE WHOLE OF THIS ORIGINAL MATRIX WAS
CROSSED THROUGH USING XXXXX s AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY HAND ETCHED 613009 B
LEAVING THE ORIGINAL STAMPED 1 AS THE 1 IN THE B//1 MATRIX .
IN SHORT ALL STANDARD RELEASED COPIES HAVE MATRIXES
THAT ARE A COMPLETE MESS HOWEVER
THIS EARLIEST EVER 1ST PRESSING MADE BEFORE THE ABOVE CORRECTIONS AND
IN THE ORIGINAL 1/2/3/4 RUNNING ORDER READS:-
RECORD 1:-
SIDE 1 - 613008 THE 9 IS CROSSED
THROUGH, THEN HAND CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED 8 A//1
SIDE 2 - 613008 THE 9 IS CROSSED THOUGH, AND THEN
CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED 8 B//1
RECORD 2:-
SIDE 3 - 613009 THE 8 IS CROSSED
THROUGH, AND THEN CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED 9 A//1
SIDE 4 - 613009 THE 8 IS CROSSED THROUGH, AND THEN
CORRECTED WITH A HAND ETCHED 9 B//1
AND AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THIS EARLIEST 1ST
PRESSING WAS MADE, BEFORE THE DECISION WAS MADE TO CHANGE THIS DOUBLE LP s SIDES
TO MATCH AUTO CHANGERS AND THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS MATRIX S ON THE ABOVE RECORDS ARE COMPLETELY
UNCORRECTED APART FROM 1 SINGLE NUMBER ON EACH SIDE AND WERE MADE BEFORE THE
HORRIBLE MESSY OVERLAID HAND MADE CORRECTIONS WHICH ALL LATER RELEASED COPIES HAD THEY ALSO OBVIOUSLY LOOK MUCH NEATER AND NICER THAN THE LATER
MESSY CORRECTIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE RELEASED VERSIONS THIS WAS THE
ORIGINAL EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, AND MIXED IN THE CORRECT 1/2/3/4 ORDER
- BEFORE ANY LATER CORRECTIONS FOR THE FINAL RELEASED VERSION WERE EVER
MADE
SECONDLY THE RECORDS STAMPERS:-
CLEARLY IT ALSO IMPORTANT ON A RECORD LIKE THIS TO EXAMINE THE STAMPERS AFTER MATRIXES WELL AS MOST PEOPLE KNOW -
ON MOST COPIES OF THIS LP - THE EXTRA NUMBERS ON EACH SIDE AFTER THE
MATRIXES KNOWN AS THE STAMPERS ARE USUALLY VERY HIGH INDEED.
SOMETHING LIKE - 1 3 5 2 OR 1 1 6 ETC NEARLY ALWAYS THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 NUMBERS AND USUALLY 4 HOWEVER - AS THIS ONE IS THE
EARLIEST POSSIBLE WITHDRAWN 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - THE STAMPERS
AFTER THE UNCORRECTED MATRIXES ARE INDEED THE LOWEST POSSIBLE ON
RECORD 1 AFTER THE MATRIXES - IT SIMPLY HAS THE SINGLE NUMBER 1 AND NO
OTHER NUMBERS AND ON RECORD 2 IT SIMPLY HAS THE NUMBER 1
FOLLOWED BY THE NUMBER 2 TO INDICATE THE SECOND RECORD AND SO IN
DETAIL THE UNCORRECTED MATRIXES AND STAMPERS ARE:-RECORD 1:-
SIDE 1 - 613008 A//1 1 YES JUST ONE SINGLE NUMBER 1 STAMPER
SIDE 2 - 613008 B//1 1 YES JUST ONE SINGLE NUMBER 1 STAMPER
RECORD 2:-
SIDE 3 - 613009 A//1 1 2 THE 1 INDICATING STAMPER ONE THE 2 INDICATING THE SECOND RECORD
SIDE 4 - 613009 B//1 1 2 THE 1 INDICATING STAMPER ONE THE 2 INDICATING THE SECOND RECORD
THESE ARE UNDOUBTEDLY THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE STAMPERS EVER MADE FOR THIS DOUBLE LP EVER
THIRDLY THE RECORD GROOVE DIFFERENCES:-
IT IS ALSO WELL WORTH NOTING THAT RECORD 1 s GROOVES LOOK VERY
DIFFERENT UNDER LIGHT WHEN COMPARED TO THE LATER RELEASED VERSIONS, AND THERE
IS NO DOUBT AT ALL THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THESE RECORDS WAS COMPLETELY RE-CUT
BEFORE THE EVENTUAL FINAL RELEASED VERSION WAS EVER MADE
PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS SET
IS THE ULTRA RARE WITHDRAWN MISPRINTED NUMBERED LABELS SO HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THESE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS THE LATER RELEASED
LABELS:-
1 THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS
ARE NUMBERED SIDE 1 SIDE 2 SIDE 3 SIDE 4 RELEASED LABELS WERE
A/B/C/D INSTEAD
2 THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS WERE LABELED IN THE CORRECT ORDER ON EACH RECORD 1/2 3/4 LATER RELEASED VERSIONS PLAY IN THE
AUTO CHANGER ORDER A/D B/C INSTEAD
3 THE TRACK VOODOO CHILE Slight Return IS
WRONGLY CREDITED AS VOODOO CHILE ONLY - ON THESE EARLIEST
1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS LATER RELEASED VERSIONS HAVE THIS CORRECTED TO
VOODOO CHILE Slight Return INSTEAD
4 THE TRACK VOODOO CHILE IS WRONGLY CREDITED AS VOODOO CHILD
Slight Return ON THESE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS LATER
RELEASED VERSIONS HAVE THIS CORRECTED TO VOODOO CHILE
INSTEAD
5 ALTHOUGH THE MATRIXES ARE 100 CORRECT TO THE
LABELS THE TRACKS DON T ALL MATCH CORRECTED ON THE RELEASED
VERSION .
6 JUST LIKE ALL PREVIOUS JIMI HENDRIX LPs - THE
EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS IMPORTANTLY HAVE NO
UPSIDE DOWN MATRIXES ON THE LABELS AS THEY USED THE NUMBER 1/2/3/4 SYSTEM
THE LATER RELEASED VERSIONS HAD THESE INTRODUCED TO MATCH THE NEW A/B/C/D
LETTER SYSTEM . PLEASE NOTE DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE MUCH LATER
1969 RE-PRESSINGS WITH NO UPSIDE MATRIXES AS THEY HAD A SET NUMBER AND
MUCH LATER MATRIXES THESE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS
DEFINITELY CAME BEFORE THE UPSIDE DOWN MATRIX RELEASED VERSIONS AND ARE 100
DEFINITELY THE EARLIEST LABELS EVER MADE IN ANY CASE, I THINK THE UNCORRECTED MATRIXES ON THE RECORDS WHICH OBVIOUSLY CAME BEFORE THE OVERLAID MESSY CORRECTED MATRIXES ON THE RELEASED VERSION , AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE STAMPERS, SHOULD MAKE THAT OBVIOUS ANYWAY - BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE CLEAR
7 THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN LABELS HAVE PART
1 FOR RECORD 1 AND PART 2 FOR RECORD 2 LATER RELEASED VERSIONS DELETED
THIS - AND IT WAS NEVER PUT ON THIS DOUBLE LP EVER AGAIN .
AGAIN PLEASE DONT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE LATER SEPARATELY
RELEASED PART 1 PART 2 RE-ISSUE LPs AS THEY OF COURSE HAD LATER DIFFERENT CAT NUMBERS
ON THE LABELS, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MATRIXES, AND NEVER HAD THE VOODOO CHILD
MISPRINT SO THEY WERE CLEARLY MADE MUCH LATER ON - AND OBVIOUSLY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS LP AT ALL IN ANY CASE, I THINK THE UNCORRECTED MATRIXES ON THE RECORDS WHICH OBVIOUSLY CAME BEFORE THE OVERLAID MESSY CORRECTED MATRIXES ON THE RELEASED VERSION , AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE STAMPERS, SHOULD MAKE THAT OBVIOUS ANYWAY - BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE CLEAR
THESE ARE DEFINITIVELY THE
EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN MISPRINTED NUMBERED LABELS EVER MADE AND EXACTLY HOW THIS DOUBLE
LP WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE WHEN ORIGINALLY DESIGNED BEFORE EVERYTHING WAS
CHANGED TO FIT THE AUTOCHANGERS IT IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THESE LABELS EVEN EXISTING AND WHILST YOU CANNOT DISCOUNT ANOTHER ONE OF THE ORIGINAL 50 COPIES BEING RESCUED FROM DESTRUCTION LIKE THIS ONE WAS - IT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY TO SAY THE LEAST AND SO THESE WITHDRAWN MISPRINTED NUMBERED LABELS ARE A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY AND THE CHANCES OF ANOTHER ONE EVER TURNING UP FOR SALE AGAIN IS VIRTUALLY ZERO
SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE
ALL TIME EARLIEST RAREST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, WITH UNCORRECTED
MATRIXES WITHDRAWN MISPRINTED NUMBERED LABELS - AND NONE OF THE NASTY LOOKING
CORRECTIONS THAT ALL RELEASED COPIES ENDED UP WITH AND EVEN THOUGH THIS
IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONLY ONES LEFT IN EXISTENCE, THIS IS ACTUALLY STRANGELY THE ONLY ONE THAT
CAN REALLY BE CALLED A TRUE 1ST PRESSING, AS IT WAS MADE BEFORE THE PRESSING
MACHINES WERE STOPPED AND EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETELY CHANGED FOR THE FINAL
RELEASED VERSION AND IT IS AN AMAZING INSIGHT AS TO HOW THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LP WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE BEFORE ALL THE CHANGES WERE MADE TO FIT THE
AUTO CHANGERS THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE ALL TIME RAREST JIMI HENDRIX LP
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY WITH UNCORRECTED MATRIX ENDINGS WITHDRAWN
MISPRINTED NUMBERED LABELS - AND IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME IF EVER

Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.

I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.
