A tape featuring stereo mixes of seven tracks from the Jimi Hendrix Experience's second album, Axis: Bold as Love. This lot comes from the collection of Patricia "Trixie" Sullivan, personal assistant to Mike Jeffery between 1966 and 1973.

The tape features all the A-side songs on the album, and the mixes are likely first or second-generation copies. The songs are: "EXP", "Up From the Skies", "Spanish Castle Magic", "Wait Until Tomorrow", "Ain't No Telling", "Little Wing", and "If 6 Was 9".

The 0.75 cm width tape is housed on a newer plastic tape reel and is numbered "45". It comes presented in a new box for preservation's sake. Also in the lot is the original Scotch-branded metal reel and its original box. A Pye Records Ltd sheet featuring handwritten annotations, including the artist's name and a song list, is taped to the box.

The original box exhibits signs of wear and staining, and the tape has become discoloured. There is scuffing on the Scotch-branded reel and signs of light wear to the tape. Dimensions (largest box): 28 cm x 28 cm x 2.25 cm (11" x 11" x 0.75")
