Item Description

Hi, and welcome to psych out auctions

I ve collected 50 s, 60 s, and early 70 s records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm n Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life Obviously, 90 of the LP s I ve ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock n roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10 ? Reluctantly, I ve decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there I m currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there Make no mistake, I ll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find

I aim to put a weekly batch up time permitting every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I ll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I ve got I won t insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I m sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it s a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard none of this digitally remastered ,weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would ve been geniuses themselves? There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that s just a tiny example .

I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music I strictly grade all LP s I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I ll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i ll be listing some gems that you just WON T want to miss out on

I think that s everything, so let the auction commence

Now, I can t stress enough how amazing this Mono mix truly is - Overseen by and mixed with Hendrix, you simply haven t heard this LP unless you ve heard it like this One Rainy Wish in it s Mono mix is a COMPLETELY different beast to any other you may of heard, and as for Castles Made Of Sand? FORGET any other version It fades in PHENOMENALLY like magic, and the outro has an utterly OUTRAGEOUS shimmer NOT in any other mix out there That s just two examples of this magnificent mix - I truly believe that this album in it s mono form is the closest we can ever get to hearing the sound inside Hendrix s head

Just like any of the Hendrix experience albums, this is one of THE BEST LP s of all time containing some of THE GREATEST music EVER recorded I love this album. It s got a unique sort of taste, feel, and atmosphere. It s certainly the most psychedelic thing The Experience ever did, right from the PHENOMENAL music, unmatched to this day, to the INCREDIBLE cover artwork This LP is a masterpiece, and absolutely LOADED with classics - you ve only got to look at the tracklist It feels really relaxed and easy going, effortlessly inventive, as if Jimi was satisfied with proving himself to the world with Are You Experienced ,and felt it was time to do what he really wanted to do. There s not too much out and out blues on here, it s more experimental such as the Jazzy Up From The Skies ,the truly psychedelic One Rainy Wish , the Dylan-esque classic Castles Made Of Sand , the hilarious Wait Until Tomorrow , the delicate Little Wing and Bold As Love ,and his trademark freak out track - Are You Experienced had Third Stone From The Sun , Electric Ladyland had 1983 A Merman I Shall Turn To Be , and on THIS, it s the PHENOMENAL If Six Was Nine

I cannot believe how amazing this LP is, every track is truly astonishing. Probably my favourite Hendrix LP though I couldn t live without any of them , even Noel Redding s She s So Fine is electrifyingly good effortlessly inventive psych-pop, you can tell they were in a great mood This easily sits in the top 10 greatest albums of all time, and there it shall remain until the world blows up Until that moment? Well, we should all listen to his records and be thankful that Jimi Hendrix was born

Tracklist : EXP, Up From The Skies, Spanish Castle Magic, Wait Until Tomorrow, Ain t No Telling, Little Wing, If Six Was Nine, You ve Got Me Floating, Castles Made Of Sand, She s So Fine, One Rainy Wish, Little Miss Lover, and Bold As Love.

Musicians : Jimi Hendrix - Vocals / Guitar / Bass / Harpsichord, Noel Redding - Vocals / Bass, Mitch Mitchell - Drums, and Chas Chandler - Producer.

The LP :


Labels :

Classic 1967 IMPOSSIBLY RARE FULLY TEXTURED black Track UK 1st Press labels Both sides are FANTASTIC with NO real signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn t had too much play over the years at all AWESOME for a 57 year old record Both must grade overall at least as Very Good

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1967 UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks INCREDIBLE with NO nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes off perfection are just one or two BARELY VISIBLE totally non-sounding cosmetic scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines only visible in strong angled light and only a few ULTRA light non sounding hairlines from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes affect smoothness of play AT ALL FANTASTIC for a record of this age and rarity You ll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is Must grade overall at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me


Record : Audio -


Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, skips OR sticks Only like pretty much ALL records has just a small amount of ultra light ticks on very rare occasions, and possibly just the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in the rarest few and far between places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks, but that s truly about it The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does play with a CD-like near 100 black silence, but with that bass, depth, clarity and warmth you can only get from original UK 1st Press vinyl EVEN the vast majority of the quiet sections Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly at least as Excellent graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me


Sleeve :

Original 1967 UK 1st Press laminated flipback gatefold E.J Day sleeve complete with true original unsplit 117 inner and PHENOMENALLY RARE ORIGINAL LYRIC INSERT POSTER OUTSTANDING, ultra clean and as vibrant as ever with NO pin holes, NO tears, and NO writing OR graffiti whatsoever - just has a very small amount of ultra vague minor general handling creases to show of it s near six decades NO tears OR folding for once MAGNIFICENT IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO writing OR graffiti, NO nasty staining, NO bad marks AT ALL, NO seam splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years Only has a few minor signs of ageing such as a small amount of ultra light creases and the merest hint of a record imprint, one or two vague indent lines with a tiny little nick to the centre of the front opening and only some minor touches of general light surface glazing here and there from where it has sat between sleeves over the years truly minimal and nothing drastic , a touch of denting to the four corners which virtually ALL vintage LP s have, and POSSIBLY just to be sure one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all And that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this remains an AWESOME sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as stunningly vibrant as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one The unlamented flipback inside shows next to NO ageing whatsoever It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, 100 unworn and unsplit Must grade overall at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

I ve realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system occasionally with a or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i m having real trouble deciding , so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100 perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps
