NEW 3-RECORD VINYL SIGNED EDITION "JIMI HENDRIX LIVE AT WOODSTOCK" From Sony Legacy
This is a new 3-disc LP signed to me by Eddie Kramer. It has never been played, the vinyl is MINT. Eddie removed the shrink wrap in order to sign it. The jacket has slight normal wear, the corners are a little pushed in, which is expected with this kind of packaging. It includes the full color booklet.
***This is not a promo copy - it is not punched or cut.
The signature reads, "To David, Very Best Wishes, Eddie Kramer. Just Remember - UP IS LOUDER"
Eddie Kramer was the recording engineer for the original album and movie at Woodstock in 1969, and also mixed and re-mastered this new edition of Jimi's performance. Of that original festival he recalls, "I arrived at dawn and was struck by the sight of the sun rising over what appeared to be the stage. The show was scheduled to start by lunch time. That panic pretty much set the tone for the entire concert. All of us in the crew had Vitamin B shots, so that we would be able to stay up for three days. The whole thing was recorded under the most primitive of conditions, but we got it done."
More information on Eddie's legendary career is detailed below.

Lacquers Cut from the Original Tapes at Sterling Sound by Iconic Engineer George Marino Under the Supervision of Eddie Kramer

Pressed and Plated at RTI: Amazing Analog Sound Betters All Prior Vinyl and Digital Editions

As the headliner of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, Jimi Hendrix was the last act and he didn't hit the stage until dawn on Monday morning. The recording finds Hendrix in a period of transition between the psychedelic blues of the Experience and the soulful, rhythmically driven Band of Gypsys. Throughout the electrifying set, Hendrix manages to touch on every musical style from jazz to blues to funk and soul and it stands as arguably the most famous and affirming live performance in the history of music.

Legacy Recordings is now reissuing Hendrix's watershed Live At Woodstock on an audiophile, three-disc 12" vinyl LP set that blows away all prior editions. Cut from the original tapes at Sterling Sound by iconic engineer George Marino under the supervision of Eddie Kramer, and pressed and plated at RTI, this 3LP version will forever stand as the definitive-sounding, high-performance edition of this historic document. You know the concert's legacy. Now experience it like never before.

Eddie Kramer (source - Wikipedia)

Eddie Kramer was born in South Africa, and as a child studied classical piano, cello and violin. He attended the prestigious South African College of Music to learn classical piano, but formed an interest in jazz. He moved to England at 19, where he recorded local jazz groups in a home studio and installed hi-fi equipment as a hobby. In 1964 he joined Pye Studios, recording artists including Sammy Davis Jr., Petula Clark and The Kinks.

In 1965 Kramer established KPS Studios and was later employed by Regent Sound to oversee construction of a new four-track studio.

He joined Olympic Sound Studios in London, where he engineered albums for acts including Traffic, Small Faces, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, for whom Kramer engineered every album from Are You Experienced to The Cry of Love. After Hendrix's death he co-produced War Heroes, Rainbow Bridge andHendrix in the West.

In 1968 Kramer moved to New York to work at the Record Plant, engineering Hendrix's Electric Ladyland LP and also worked with Vanilla Fudge, Joe Cocker andNRBQ. Working independently from 1969, Kramer engineered Led Zeppelin II – the first of five albums he engineered for the band.

Kramer added his own touch to "Whole Lotta Love" from Led Zeppelin II. He said, "At one point there was bleed-through of a previously recorded vocal in the recording of 'Whole Lotta Love.' It was the middle part where Robert [Plant] screams 'Wo-man. You need it.' Since we couldn't re-record at that point, I just threw some echo on it to see how it would sound and Jimmy [Page] said 'Great! Just leave it.'"[1]

In mid-1969 Kramer was hired to record the Woodstock Festival for both the album and the movie. The project was arduous, as he recalled: [1] "I arrived at dawn and was struck by the sight of the sun rising over what appeared to be the stage. The show was scheduled to start by lunch time. That panic pretty much set the tone for the entire concert. All of us in the crew had Vitamin B shots, so that we would be able to stay up for three days. The whole thing was recorded under the most primitive of conditions, but we got it done."

Kramer subsequently recorded live albums by Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss, John Mayall, The Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, Curtis Mayfield,Santana, David Bowie and Derek and the Dominos.

Kramer was director of engineering at Electric Lady Studios from 1970-1974, producing the posthumous Hendrix records, as well as albums by Carly Simon, Sha Na Na, Jobriath and Peter Frampton. While there he engineered albums for artists as diverse as Dionne Warwick and David Bowie.

In 1975 he left Electric Lady Studios to produce Kiss' Alive!, which began a long time association with the band. His engineering work included Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same and Peter Frampton's Frampton Comes Alive!.
