Calling Tony

I have been through my parents record collection and discovered some interesting artifacts.
Any idea what these might have been worth had they not been completly f**ked like they are now.
Jimi Hendrix, Are you experienced. However this is not the double, apparently when it first came out it was two seperate records, this is one of them.
Beetles Revolver, parlaphone mono version, no inner sleeve though, however the record is still playable.
Just interested to know what these may have been worth.
Have had a mammouth day record purchases and balgs which I will bore you all with tomorrow!

Ah Mr Lees, I am a little worse for wear! I meant Blag!
And indeed I also meant Ladyland and it is on track records, and it makes me cry but its completly knackered, and I mean unplayable even on a really crap record deck where you didn't care what happened to the needle, its that bad.
Oh the humanity!

Mr Lees, your memory is going at last .... and still in your 40's too .... the single albums didn't have the ladies, but odd solarised pictures. Another oddity being that sides 1 & 4 were on the same disc, for autochanger purposes [once tried loading 10 albums on my HMV portable, but the horrendous thumps & skiddings meant I didn't do it again]. I was always intrigued by the methods decks used to determine the size of the record. My Garrard did it by means of a little horn-shaped thing at the side which could determine the weights of a 12" or 10" - if nothing touched it, then it was a 7" and behaved accordingly. A friend had a creepy raidiogram where the tonearm of the deck [BSR?] rose up and fondled the disc in an inappropriate manner to work out the size. Makes my blood run cold just thinking about it....
BTW, if memory serves, Electric Ladyland was OK, but the first two albums were duff, pressingswise & CD's are a major improvement. The trouble with most of you born again vinyl junkies is that you don't realise the hassle that old-timers like Nick & I used to go through. During the Great Vinyl Shortage of 197? [help please, Nick] it was not uncommon to find bits of old label protruding from a shiny new purchase where inexpertly recycled copies of Manuel & His Music Of The Mountains Vol 2 had decided to make a final stand. Ditto coloured & transparent vinyl. You could play them twice if you were lucky. [My Sparks No 1 Song In Heaven on lime green clear vinyl still rankles]

I think it was seven copies of Satanic Majesties I had to return, eventually compromising on a stereo copy, which I was not sure my 'compatible' cartridge could cope with..... [just out in HDCD, BTW]
RCA 'Dynaflex' is what you're talking about.... very dubious - give me a good Pye pressing any day - a blunt instrument if ever there was one. I used to keep my copy of Sunshine Superman in the boot of the car in case the spare tyre looked iffy...

Thats where you are wrong Mr Lees, for this weekend I also scored ladyland in a perfect condition ala titties on the front. Very nice indeed.

If you mean Electric Ladyland then its worth £25-ish for each volume, if its an original cut of Are You Experienced on Track Records (which was always a single LP) its worth 60 quid for mono and 35 quid for stereo.
As for Revolver if its an original 66 cut it will have either a side 2 matrix of XEX606-1 (£175) or XEX606-2 (£60). I sold a nice copy of the latter on Ebay last week that only made £46 so the pricing may be a little heavy on the second pressing, but a good first pressing has made over £300 on Ebay before now. I got a respectable £31 for that copy of Fragile though!
Tony.
Who found a near mint copy of Scott 2 in a charity shop yesterday for a quid!

hi Tony, unfortunately I have come home now, didn't occur to me to get the run out number.
Thing is it is a little trashed shall we say.
I also scored a mono record called 'With The Beatles', again on parlaphone XEX447-7N is on the run out, printed as apposed to scratched
It only cost me 1.50, quite scratched but fully playable with what would appear to be the original innersleeve.
I am tempted to put it up on ebay just to see what happens, would be interested to know whats involved Tony?
