Description

The Cry of Love album is a posthumous fourth studio album by Hendrix, released in February 1971. It was the first Hendrix album released after his death.

The pairing of The Cry of Love with Rainbow Bridge comprises the bulk of the most complete tracks that Jimi Hendrix was intending to release on his next double LP, titled either First Rays of the New Rising Sun or Strate Ahead, the title atop the last documented track list found in Hendrix's notes. All songs on the album were written by Hendrix and recorded from late December 1969 through the summer of 1970, except "My Friend". Hendrix's friend Paul Caruso (mistakenly listed as a fictitious 'Gers' on the LP) plays harmonica on "My Friend".

Mitchell and Kramer's involvement gave the album credibility, and it was well received by fans and critics alike. It managed to reach number 3 in the US and number 2 in the UK, and was regarded as the most accurate approximation of Hendrix's final album until First Rays of the New Rising Sun was released in 1997. "Freedom"  was released as a single in the US, but only reached number 59.  In the UK, "Angel" was the single released, though it did not manage to enter the charts. Remastered versions of all of the songs from The Cry of Love are featured on the 1997 compilation First Rays of the New Rising Sun.

This album still has the shrink wrap on it and has only been played once or twice.   It is in mint condition.  This is the Reprise version with an ":r" sign on the all-orange/tan label, not the much more valuable Reprise version with the "W7" and ":r" sign on a two-tone orange label.   Still, for any Hendrix fan or 60s or 70s psychedelic rock enthusiast, this mint album is a good value.   The album cover is in near mint condition and the sleeve is in excellent condition.

Enjoy the music.
