Tracklisting & More Information

Background

There are many confusing reports about just what this album is, when it was made and why it was made. Doing a little 'Sherlock Holmes' detective work, I think I can make a very good guess. If you know better than this, please contact us.
This album is Track 2856 002. The only other with this sequence catalogue number is the equally rare 'Who Did It!', which is Track 2856 001.
Both were manufactured by Polydor & both have poly lined inners dated 0970.
From the 'Mail Order Only' tag, the matching catalogue numbers and dated inners, it's clear that both LPs were issued at the same time & both were probably withdrawn at the same time. They were most probably manufactured as an exclusive for an early incarnation of 'The Audio Club Of Great Britain', Polydor's mail order outlet, which continued to issue LPs with exclusive 'ACB' catalogue numbers well into the mid seventies in the UK.
The exact reason for them being withdrawn is not known, but it could have something to do with the labels being changed from Track to Polydor that year & the consequent re-releases of the original albums [from which these two were compiled] on Polydor. Either way, it is estimated that under four hundred copies of 'Who Did It!' went out and under three hundred of 'Electric Jimi Hendrix' before they were recalled and destroyed.

Condition:

Sleeve

An incredibly rare release and is in any Hendrix collectors top five most desirable items. We are delighted to offer this staggering rarity.

The unique picture sleeve has minimal ring wear or edge scuffing, with just some minor marks in places. The rear of the sleeve displays the corresponding minimal ring wear as the front. All titles are clearly visible & the spine is fully legible.

The sleeve was printed by Polydor records.

Vinyl

The vinyl is in nice condition with just a couple of obvious surface scuffs & no distinct pops or clicks evident. There is minimal spindle wear & no writing or other defects to the label.

Matrix numbers;
Side 1: 2856002 1 Y//2 420 111
Side 2: 2856002 2 YA//1 168 - the first part has been hand-scored rather than machine stamped.

The sound quality is excellent with superb use of stereo spacing and balance, a set of landmark tracks that are a major part of Hendrix history and his legacy .

This is one amongst the best copies we have seen, as most are in poor condition and to offer such a rarity in a condition that is still of investment quality like this is highly unusual.

Treat yourself!!!
