Story & Background
This 1970 first pressing for Track Record is steeped in the legend of one of rock's most controversial covers. Although your copy may have the standard artwork featuring the band, the original *very first* British pressing featured an iconic design today: puppets depicting Hendrix, Brian Jones, Bob Dylan and a blind beggar. Conceived by Roger Law, this choice was withdrawn almost immediately from the market due to legal threats, especially for the unauthorised use of Dylan's image. The very few surviving copies with the "puppet" cover are today among the most sought-after and expensive vinyls. They bear witness to a bold, yet unfortunate, graphic experiment which makes your first Track Record pressing a fragment of discographic history.
