That’s an amazing price. The fact that it’s the debut LP overcame the condition issues.

And contrast as well it seems. Fabulous item.

Ballroom, do you have exemplars with a very similar E and R? The sharpness of the transition to the upstroke curve of the E, and the long straight R concern me a bit. 

I think it’s likely real, but I’m not confident.

This.

Certainly is an outlier when compared to the dozens of PSA and JSA authenticated Hendrix sigs that readily abound on the net, up for grabs.

And why wouldn't someone going through the trouble of obtaining a Hendrix signature, either have him sign a clean item or if it was crisp when signed, keep it that way?

I'm reluctant to say it, because there's obviously members here who have a high opinion of it, but to me, it looks like an album recently fished out of a thrift shop/Salvation army store, and forged with an old pen and weak hand to make it appear signed decades ago.

$44,000 for this? My opinion is that someone had more money than brains in this case. Had to say what I'm sure others are thinking but as of yet haven't.

I can't quite see but is the ink above the scuffing?

Yes. The ink appears to be added after the surface was scuffed. Not at all a tell conducive for authenticity.

If I had it I'd spend it. Necessarily...

That’s impressive.  It’s obviously a great item.  But I’m just curious.  Would the fading of the autograph bother anyone?

Yes, but not really, I was just listening to the song Are You Experienced. I don't think I would care of this had a bullet hole. One by Dr. Thompson or Bill Burroughs would be best but...you can't price this. I can't anyway.

Gotcha...understandable.

It would bother me. I’d look at the fully-signed Axis LP with the great image and bold Hendrix signature on the inside gatefold and wish I had purchased that one instead. It sold for about 2/3 the price too.
