Both mono and stereo mixes of Jimi s first two albums were made by Jimi, Chas Chandler, and Eddie Kramer at Olympic Studios in 1967.
Final stereo mixing for the album was done on October 31, 1967 and November 1, 1967. Chandler and Kramer completed a mono mix of the album on November 2, 1967.
There are noticeable differences between the two mixes that make this MONO version extremely special to collectors :
EXP is shorter without the extended feedback at the end and the vocals are louder.
Castles Made of Sand features a different vocal performance.
One Rainy Wish has a slightly different ending.
There are other subtle differences too across the entire album as a result of the separate mixing to mono as opposed to merely combining the stereo tracks.
The vinyl is in excellent condition with a couple of hairline marks under close inspection under bright light.
The labels are clean bright with few spindle marks evident, indicating very little play.
