I bought it new in London at the Rose Morris Showroom (official distributor) on Shaftsbury Avenue in 1969. I gave them $600 U.S. I was a Jimi Hendrix fanatic at the time and saw him three times in concert. I also had a Sunn two cabinet stack like Jimi also occasionally used. The combo of the two amps was loud and could give you very deep lows from the Sunn's 15 inch JBLs and crisp highs from the Marshall's eight celestion speakers. The Marshall was a great amp with a warm tube sound and in the regular undriven channel is one I used for jazz when I fell into playing that. Thanks Mr. Marshall and may you RIP.
