Rarest LP ever? Hendrix/Voidoids

[schwenko]

from the Television mailing list:

"From Richard Hell's endlessly fascinating autobiography, 'I Dreamed I Was A Very Clean Tramp':

"The Voidoids spent three weeks making the record ['Blank Generation# 39;] at Electric Lady, the subterranean flying saucer of a recording studio that Jimi Hendrix had built for himself on Eighth Street, a fifteen-minute walk from my apartment.*"

And then, following the asterisk, the footnote says:

"* Twenty or so years later, I was given an LP by a friendly local used-record dealer who said that he'd had it since he was a teenager and that it led to his devotion of New York punk. It was a copy of Hendrix' s double 'Electric Ladyland' album, except side two of it was actually side two of the 'Blank Generation# 39; album. You could see how there could have been a mix-up at the factory — 'Hendrix# 39; and 'Hell' are close alphabetically, but probably more importantly the Hendrix album's catalog number was 6307 while 'Blank# 39;'s was 6037. My friend insisted that he played the record for months thinking it was all Hendrix and that the Voidoids' side was his favorite of the four. Eventually I gave the double album to Ivan Julian. I've never heard of the existence of another copy.""

Sugoi !!!
