A tape featuring stereo mixes of five songs from the Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album Are You Experienced. The record was released in May 1967 and is often regarded as one of the greatest albums ever made. This lot comes from the collection of Patricia "Trixie" Sullivan, personal assistant to Mike Jeffery between 1966 and 1973.

The tape is a 'safety' copy of side B of Are You Experienced, and likely a first or second generation recording. It features "May This Be Love", "Fire", "Third Stone From the Sun", "Remember" and "Are You Experienced". The tape comes with its original box, which has an LPC Sound Recording Studios label affixed to the front, underneath which "Track Records Jimi Hendrix LP Side Two" is handwritten, while "F231" is handwritten on the back. The tape has since been transferred to a new shell and box, for preservation. The original box is Magnetonband branded, and the replacement box and shell are Neckarklangwerke branded. The original box exhibits extensive wear, though the tape itself remains in excellent condition. Dimensions: 28 cm x 28 cm x 3 cm (11"x 11" x 1.25")

Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.
