THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE ~ ELECTRIC LADYLAND Double LP

Original 1968 U.K. stereo pressing released on the Track Record label 613008 / 613009.

Description :

Super rare and very hard to find copy of the Hendrix classic. 

Electric Ladyland is the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in 1968 on Track Records in the U.K. and Reprise in the U.S. Produced and mainly written by Jimi Hendrix, the album is seen as the peak of Hendrix's mastery of the electric guitar. It is not only the last of his albums released as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but also the last of Hendrix's studio albums to be professionally produced under his own supervision. After Electric Ladyland, Hendrix spent the remaining two years of his life attempting to organize a new band and recording a breadth of new songs. The original U.K. album cover photo of a group of nude women proved controversial enough to be subsequently replaced by an illustration of the guitarist's face.

Released as a double album, Electric Ladyland is a cross-section of Hendrix's wide range of musical talent. It includes examples of several genres and styles of music, including the psychedelia of "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" (previously a U.K. single in the summer of 1967), the extended blues jam "Voodoo Chile", the New Orleans-style rock and roll of "Come On", the epic studio production of "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)", and the social commentary of "House Burning Down". The album also features a cover version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" that has been widely praised by many, including Dylan himself, as well as "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", a staple of both radio and guitar repertoire.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 54 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
