Jimi Hendrix Electric Jimi Hendrix - VG UK vinyl LP album (LP record)

| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
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 (this copy's inner has had a misprint to the date, but appears to be from the era0.
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matching catalogue numbers and dated inners, it's clear that both LPs were issued at the same time & both were probably withdrawn at the same time.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The exact reason for them being withdrawn is not known, but it could have something to do with the labels being changed from Track to Polydor that year & the consequent re-releases of the original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 is graded as VG-; there is fairly extensive scuffing to the edges, with the spine mostly illegible and moderate ringwear to the front and reverse as well as some creasing and no seam splits or tears. The previous owner has coloured in bome of the letters of 'Jimi Hendrix' on the reverse, however all the text is still legible.
The sleeve was printed by Polydor records.
Vinyl
The vinyl is visually pretty tired looking, with countless scuffs and hairlines, however spindle wear is only moderate and actual playback is for the most part easily to a VG standard with only a few loud pops to the B side dropping it to VG/VG-.
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 .
By no means a mint copy, this is however one of the few remaining of this most rare Hendrix issue, of which we have seen neither hide nor hear for over a decade.
