Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release


Looking forward to release tomorrow. In my humble opinion one of the greatest albums ever. Imagine hearing this album when it was released, Compositionally and technically from another time and place, truly ground breaking. Thanks Jimi!!!!!!!

Jimi Hendrix + Stratocaster/Marshall + Lysergic Acid = GENIUS! We will always miss you, Jimi!
Yes, I heard it when it was first released! My cousin lent me his copy! Certainly Hendrix's masterwork! "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp", " Moon Turn The Tides Gently Away", "1983", "Hot Summer Night" ... I have a British Track pressing of the first LP (missing no. 2)! Still, half of a masterpiece is better than having none!
From Axis Bold As Love: "I've got my own life to live through - and I ain't gonna copy you!" - If Six Was Nine. Lest we forget, Jimi had to go to London first to be "discovered" - before his return to America. Electric Ladyland was first issued by Track Records UK with the risque cover - then replaced with the "safer" cover for the Warner's US release!
Anybody here remember seeing Hendrix on the David Frost TV show? Talked with Frost and then got to play one song - with his teeth! July '69 - before Woodstock.
I watched it on a black-n-white TV at my high school friend's house, along with his father. We thought that teeth trick was Jimi just being a show-off!
