All Along The Watchtower/ Burning of the Midnight Lamp

What a great find! This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Reprise Records factory sleeve. The labels and vinyl (styrene) grade Near Mint, with light signs of storage wear. The audio sounds pristine Mint! The talent, influence, and inspiration of Jimi Hendrix cannot be overestimated, despite having only 8 singles to his credit during a tragically short career. Of those eight, three of them rank among the greatest 1,001 singles of the Rock'n'Soul era, according to Dave Marsh's essential reference book. And "All Along The Watchtower" is at the top of Marsh's Hendrix list. It also appears at #47 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500" list! "Watchtower" also became the artist's biggest pop hit — and the only one to reach the Top 40 of Bilozoard's Hot 100 Singles chart.\r\n
