A FEW OF THE MOST RECENT ITEMS WE WANT...
 | JIMI HENDRIX Electric Ladyland (1968 UK first issue 16-track
Stereo double LP, with additional upside down catalogue
numbers on the labels & classic fully laminated 'Ernest J Day'
gatefold sleeve with blue text & large scale pictures of Mitch& Noel inside. As you will know, there are a number of
significant differences between this first issue & those that
followed, so a little trip to the 'More Info' section is advised...)
#Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
Tracklisting: History
On the 25th October 1968, the musical comet that was Jimi Hendrix was burning at its brightest & this album was released to an eager public. It was hard to believe that it had been just two years since Jimi debuted on Polydor with 'Hey Joe' as the music had evolved so much since those first recordings. This album [like everything after 'Hey Joe'] was issued on Track Records. Later 70s issues went back to the Polydor label imprint.
This first issue has a number of differences to even the second Track issue the following year. The sleeve is the UK variant [which Jimi actually disapproved of], featuring a group of naked women, rather than the band itself. I suppose someone in the UK offices thought that 'Electric Ladyland' deserved a cover featuring an imagined 'Ladyland'! Jimi himself had no control over this.
The differences between this and the later Track issue :-
Sleeve :-
The first thing you notice [besides the obvious!] is that it has 'floating' laminate, rather than wraparound, meaning that there is always a small unlaminated section at the opening, top & bottom. Polydor issues were wraparound laminate, with no gap at the edge. Inside, there are more obvious differences.
The first, though seldom mentioned, is that the inside portrait & tracklisting are reversed compared to later issues, with Jimi to the right, rather than the left.
Once again, the inside has the floating laminate with the small gap at the edges.
The pictures of Noel & Mitch are larger than later issues.
The text for the tracklisting is centred and in blue print, with the Track logo to the centre, Polydor information & Ernest J. Day printing credit to the left, also in blue. The tracklisting itself also features a mixture of capitalised & lower case letters at the start of each word, with no apparent consistency, eg. 'Rainy day, dream away' but 'Still Raining, Still Dreaming'.
The Labels :-
These are the familiar silver printed black Track labels but they also have the catalogue number repeated in smaller inverted form in brackets above the main number on the left.
Designed for your stacking Autochanger deck, the vinyl has Side A backed with Side D & Side B backed with Side C, for an easy flip over to continue. This practice continued through later vinyl presses and even led to an erroneous track order on the first CD releases with the consequence that 'Still Raining' appeared before 'Rainy Day'!
This has finally been corrected on the Experience Hendrix CD release.
There is no suffix to 'Come On', 'Burning Of The Midnight Lamp' is prefixed by 'The' & 'Crosstown Traffic' appears as 'Cross Town Traffic'.
The Vinyl :-
Pressed on heavyweight vinyl, this first pressing features what has become known as 'The High-Dynamic Mix', although that's really down to the way the album was mastered.
The last character of the matrix information in the run off areas is corrected by hand, where the rest of the matrix information is stamped.
Sides B & D are banded, while sides A & C are not.
Condition
The sleeve has a small split and sun fading to the spine. The sleeve has the obvious green tinge to the outer that characterised the first printings.
The vinyl shows some evidence of play [& why not]. Upon playtesting, this sounds really good. There is some very minor surface noise detectable at times, with very little burring or distortion, other than the sounds Jimi put there deliberately. This holds true from the beginning of the first side to the end of the last. Even the extreme phasing effects are as clear as a bell.
There are just a few spindle marks around the centre hole and the odd light surface scuffs to show for its fifty five years. There is a small warp to the edge of disc two, but this is only in the run-in and does not extend to the music. Perhaps it's the heavyweight vinyl, perhaps the 'High Dynamic' mix, but these first pressings sound great. In a matter of seconds, what little background surface there is becomes a mere insignificance as the full rich sounds of one of THE classic albums of all time start to caress your ears. This is a very respectable copy of this rare first pressing at an advantageous price.
