I've attached a few images of a LP that was supposedly signed by the Hendrix Experience.. The seller did say that it was authenticated (However this was by his own company and I don't believe I should believe him anyway).

I've noticed some weird things about the cover but I don't know if it's just fading of age or how he's taken the picture. 

1: The "Stereo" label at the top has some sort of colour offset to the left.

2: If you look at the bottom of the cover there's like a brighter offset shade of yellow in the shape of an 'L', this seems to follow up to the top and to the far bottom right of the cover.

3: The quality looks far too good to be true hence why I'm asking for opinions.

I've just noticed some oddities about the record itself (bottom 2 attached images). The record labels don't match up in both images but I'm putting this down to the machines not being perfect. If you look at the bottom image of the vinyl record itself there seems to be a second yellow label that appears to be sticking out a little bit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Too good to be true.

Dave, all the autographs look signed by the same person to me, and not by Jimi Hendrix in my opinion. You are right to be concerned that the quality looks far too good. You mean more than just so perfectly signed, but without signs of ageing, right?

I think you're very smart to question this album. 

BTW, a genuine, nicely band-signed "Are You Experienced" album would be a bargain at $15,000 and likely sell for $25,000+. What was this one offered to you for?

Agreed. Also, the label looks like a later reissue. 

If true this would be the nicest signed Hendrix LP ever seen by human eyes.  Much more likely it is a forgery.

It looks to me like the D in Hendrix is wrong as is the accentuated tale at the end of Hendrix.  The M in Jimi also looks wrong.  Check out some of the Real examples at PSADNA and you can make a nice comparison.  Just my opinion.  There was a fantastic explanation of Hendrix real autos and fakes (comparisons) on this site (Autograph Live).  I wouldn't touch this album. 

That is not real at all. It looks shaky and as Steve mentions, all by the same hand. None from the Jimi Hendrix EXP either!

agree with ballroom its a late 70s pressing an original third pressing circa 1970 all tan label was slightly different to this and the late 60s early 70s sleeves had a thin white border around the edges this changed to all yellow in the late 70s early 80s i dont see a white border on this unless its bleached out with the photo being on a whitish background or the photo has been cropped or digitally tampered with

Nothing looks good about the Jimi signature.  Bad "n" and bad "d" in particular.  And while you would see Mitch sign with the multiple "XXX" below his signature, I don't recall seeing Noel sign that way.
