Description
Offered for sale is an early, and possibly original, still sealed U.S. pressing of The Cry of Love by Jimi Hendrix.
About this copy: This copy of The Cry of Love is an early 1970s U.S. pressing on the Reprise label. It’s fairly heavy; it may be an original 1971 release.
As the album is still sealed, the record is presumably new and unplayed.
The wrap is intact except for small breaks at the upper right and lower left hand corners. There is a saw mark in the lower left hand corner.
A beautiful copy of an album that is often found with cover wear.
Background: Released in March 1971, The Cry of Love was the first studio album by Jimi Hendrix to be released after his death.
The album reached #3 on the U.S. charts and #2 in the UK.
Allmusic.com gave The Cry of Love a 4 star review:
This was the first of the posthumous releases in the Jimi Hendrix catalog and probably the best as it collected most of the studio tracks that were either completed or very near completion before Hendrix died. Some of these tunes, like “Angel” and “Ezy Rider,” have become well-known pieces in the Hendrix canon, but they sit alongside lesser-known gems like “Night Bird Flying” and the Dylanesque “My Friend.”
