Band Of Gypsys - 1977 Japan Polydor label 6-track LP

Rare 1977 Japanese Polydor label 6-track LP - recorded live at The Fillmore East, New York, 1970 - originally released 1970.

Vinyl has the generic red company labels with mid-data grid and upper half-album company logo - just above large fonted company name in white and centre hole.

Vinul comes with a superb foldout lyric sheet featuring Jimi Hendrix Experience family tree in inner spread - also featuring an illustrated bonus twelve page biography/full discography booklet.

Vinyl and booklets are held in the 'Puppet' motif picture cover with a 'Super Rock Guitarists' picture OBI-strip.

Condition: M- (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Booklet)/VG+(+) (Booklet)/VG+ (Cover)/VG+ (OBI):

Vinyl is supershiny and simply without any signs of play or handling - mint labels.

Lyric booklet has allmost no signs of age or handling - a touch of edge rubbing is all - graded near mint.
Biography booklet has a lower folded front corner - otherwise mint - hence the close to near perfect/excellent booklet grading.

Cover has a beautiful front and back centre - a few lighter imperfections are found along edges or seams: a mid spine wrinkle from a mild cover bend, a little creasing or rubbing in the upper left back corner and lower right mid back cover area.

Seams are solid and straight with only occasional milder wear - except towards corners which has gentle upper opening and lower spine to more manifest upper spine and lower opening corner dents. All in all a series of marinal defects which has very little impact on the viewing of the cover - graded straight VG+.

OBI has a couple of rips but is still in one piece - graded VG+ as well - overall sublime vinyl in a very decent cover.
