More about the cover. According to the liner notes in this new 50th anniversary release, Hendrix wanted the cover to be a photo taken in Central Park with him and children around a sculpture, taken by Linda Eastman (soon McCartney). Reprise ignored his request and went with the red and yellow photo of Jimi. And as mentioned already, in Britain, they came up with the naked women cover photo that was very controversial with retailers and Jimi disliked. The cover on this anniversary release uses the photo Jimi wanted 50 years ago!
BTW, I've only listened to the Stereo DVD-Audio version so far, but it sure sounds better then I remember ever hearing it before.
