On the left side of the centre hole, the catalogue number is repeated in brackets above the bold silver print in smaller inverted numbers. These end with a capital 'A' or 'B' per side, on both records' labels. This is ONLY found on the first pressing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1st issue gatefold cover has huge differences, the colour tones on the naked ladies are far deeper, with an almost green tinge to the flesh colours, often found on the spine as well.\u003cbr\u003eThe most obvious of all is found inside the gatefold. The Track logo, tracklisting, copyright information and 'EJ Day' address are all in a very vivid shade of blue. Misalligning gives the tracklisting the name 'ghost text'. Every post 1968 issue had the graphics in a white colour. \u003cbr\u003eAbove the blue titles are two pictures of Mitch \u0026amp; Noel. In a 1st issue cover they are large sized photos, but all later covers have them reduced to a very small size. This too was the format for later Polydor label issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe black labels are clean with sharp silver print.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere a a couple of wispy spindle marks and no sign of play to the actual vinyl itself - a stunning one to two plays copy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe matrix numbers are:\u003cbr\u003eSide A - 613008A\/\/1\u003cbr\u003eSide B - 613009A\/\/1\u003cbr\u003eSide C - 613009B\/\/1\u003cbr\u003eSide D - 613008B\/\/1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are machine stamped in the 'dead wax' areas with hand scratched amendments - there appeared to be slight confusion at the pressing plant as the sides were configured in the American style, i.e. Sides A and D are on the first disc, Sides B and C on the second. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe laminated gatefold picture sleeve has one major crease across the bottom right corner on the reverse, but is in otherwise excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA much sought after edition of this classic album in very respectable condition!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jimi-hendrix\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of Jimi Hendrix\"\u003eJimi Hendrix\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=Jimi+Hendrix+Electric+Ladyland\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Electric Ladyland\"\u003e Electric Ladyland\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Year of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2-LP vinyl record set (Double LP Album)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - Track\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=613008%2f9\" title=\"Click to see more products with the catalogue number 613008\/9\"\u003e613008\/9\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/uk-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from United Kingdom (UK)\"\u003eUnited Kingdom (UK)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional info\u003c\/strong\u003e - Deleted, Picture Sleeve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).
