The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Axis: Bold As Love

I was checking some other sites abot this vinyl`s reviews and some people says sound is not good,pops ,cracks what so ever but fortunately i decided to buy this LP and sound is perfect,clean crisp ,amazing pressing.You will love this pressing trust me...

I have a sealed copy with a yellow Wieboldt's price sticker "suggested list 5.98 our price 4.99" and a circular white sticker with "R.R." on it. Anyone have any idea which release this would be? Thanks!

I once owned a 1967 first issue , this record was so far ahead of its time. Jimi the genius and engineers just blew everybody away. If I was on a desert island this would and could only have one vinyl , this would be it !

My copy has 1 1 \ 2 4 & 1 1 / 9 on side B

This is a review of the UHQR release but compares and ranks the UK Track as well:

Being lucky enough to get one of the very last copies available, although still number 3507 strangely enough, I decided to compare very in depth with my UK track original and Sterling 2010 cut.
At first I went in expecting everything to be improved across the board, however that turns out to be rather high expectations even for 100$. The others were from tape as well after all.
On a first impression basis its easy to note some of the advantages for the UHQR, having great presence and detail all around. But I examined most tracks one after another to be as fair as can be.
briefly, I must mention that I love the decision to finally bring out Jimi's vocals on the opening radio track, EXP. It was always so quite and buried, making me fantasize about adjusting that part if I ever were to master this album myself. Im glad Grundman and I could agree on this small detail change, and perhaps it was already on his other cuts of the album like the Mono Classic or Sony, but I digress.
Starting out with the UK and moving up to the Sterling I was enjoying the overall louder and more clear mastering, which really sounds well rounded to me even still, bringing the bass and crispness up a hefty amount.
Its too bad then that the UHQR actually decides to shy out somewhat on the bass in comparison, even compared to the UK on some parts, but this is mostly because of their EQs. Its less loose and still audible mind you, but doesn't have much impact unlike the Sterling.
On the other hand, Grundman, as he usually likes to do, brings out the drums just oh so well. Its the most striking difference Id say, combined with the slightly superior presence and punch of the UHQR, as well as the refinement which I have no idea how the man does it, just makes the cymbals and reverb so lush and brimming with realism, to the extent which the tape allows anyway. Its near Jazz album levels of sweetness.
My UK Track is also quite nice in this regard but with the lack of presence it really doesn't do much for the cut in the end.
Vocals also have a somewhat more in the room conjuration but it really goes for the entire mid range frequencies.
As always, Grundman also separates and projects all the sounds so masterfully in the soundstage. A great example of this is the guitar on Spanish Castle Magic where certain notes I never picked up on before really struck me as more highlighted, perhaps even manually like the intro vocals.
However, one downside to all these positives is the tape hiss. Fortunately this is rarely a big issue but it is vastly more audible on certain parts compared to the Sterling or UK. The EXP intro for example, as mentioned Jimi's line is brought out more but its clear to hear that the tape hiss increases right before he speaks.
This doesn't mean that its louder necessarily, in fact the Sterling is the loudest but doesn't suffer from this at all from a listeners perspective. It is audible here too, like at the end of Castles Made of Sand, but never bothered me. On the UHQR it does somewhat take me out of it and hampers the immersion on that song.
One aspect which can not be determined through song by song listening though, is ear fatigue. Its likely the most damning aspect of the Sterling cut and if it wasn't for it I would be harder pressed to decide on a favorite release.
This is something I never did quite feel with the UK or UHQR, they simply are less harsh somehow, probably with the more refined drums on Grundmans cut and the overall more laid back performance of the UK, coupled with its lower EQ which at times muffles vocals too much.
Lastly, one should lead into the pressing quality of each. There was much talk of the UHQRs high quality pressing method, borrowed from Classic Records, the packaging also includes information on it. Although I cant say its the quietest pressing Ive heard, its more than enough so, as the aforementioned tape hiss overrides any amazing pressing quality. My Sterling is near dead quiet for its playing levels anyway, and who would ever demanded more? Unfortunately my UK is a bit crackly, as most copies these days, and I really suggest anyone finding a close to NM example if they want to fully enjoy this release. Not to mention it needing to be played about 30% louder than your average record, which only adds to the problem.
In the end, Im quite happy with all my purchases, neither of them will surely lose their value.

To summarize:
The UHQR is a midrange king, with amazing presence and detail, only suffering from tape hiss and slight lack of bass.
The Sterling is a modern like approach with crispness and bass to boot, but being slightly harsh and artificial at times.
The UK is a laid back yet mostly natural sounding piece of history, dropping points for lack of presence and muffling.

My 613 003 release from Track Records matrix number says 613003 A ∇ 1 1 2 4 on the A-side, any idea to what release this is?

I found this album with a Barclay label in a Reprise 6281 jacket Stereo

Anyone know why this would be?

Was there only one single released in conjunction with Axis Bold??? I'm taken aback as I thought at least 3 singles were released, since many songs on the LP sound like radio friendly nuggets under 3:00 . !! Maybe someone can educate..

My version is an odd one. the label has 613-003 Track Records made in England but it also has GmbH Polydor Int. The matrix is 2363076 a1 420 . The cover is normal gate-fold and has 613-003 on it . Anyone know what this is? seen a promo with same details for sale on Fleabay buts its a promo worth loads of money. Mine does not have promo on the cover. I wonder if its a Backtrack 71 reissue in a 68 og cover?
Regards

When I am dead and gone,anyone who may look into my DNA, will find parts of this album scattered throughout...
