In addition to getting a nice remastered Compact Disc of the core album (which sounds better than my likely late ’80s/early ’90s Reprise edition) you also get a CD of studio outtakes and demos plus a separate disc with a fascinating live concert recording. And of course you get the Blu-ray Disc containing the original album mix remastered in uncompressed 96 kHz, 24-bit resolution LPCM Stereo as well as a cool Making Of Electric Ladyland documentary.

France: Barclay Records. 1968. (Liner notes). Cover Picture: Alain Dister / Inside picture: Jean-Pierre Leloir / Photographs of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding: Donald Silverstein On the Blu-ray Disc you also get a wonderful behind the scenes documentary on the making of Electric Ladyland. Its quite notable as there are interview segments with former manager Chas Chandler (ex-Animals bassist who helped put Jimi on the map who had quit during the production of this album), Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding (all three, RIP). This is an expanded version of the documentary originally produced as part of the Classic Albums TV series, newly edited with about 40 minutes of additional material. Noel Redding apparently contributed some of the 8mm film footage from his personal archives to make this documentary an essential insider view of what The Jimi Hendrix Experience was about at this time and place. In France and the Benelux countries, Hendrix's recordings were released by Barclay Records, [28] and Electric Ladyland featured a front cover photograph by Alain Dister, [29] and inner sleeve photographs by Jean-Pierre Leloir and Donald Silverstein. [30] Release and reception [ edit ]

Titles: This UK issue has no suffix to "Come On", "The" is prefixed to "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" and "Cross Town" appears as two words. All Along the Watchtower" became the band's top-selling single and their only US top 40 hit, peaking at number 20; it reached number five in the UK. [20] The album also included one of Hendrix's most prominent uses of a wah-wah pedal, on "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", which reached number 18 in the UK charts.

The original album still sparkles, thanks to the remastering job, and the documentary is insightful (most of it came out previously as an episode of Classic Albums). But it’s the non-album material that makes the box set definitive. Over the years remastered versions of 'Electric Ladyland' have appeared, created from US 2nd generation or transfer tapes (the original tapes being the subject of legal wrangles & finally coming to rest with Experience Hendrix LLC). There's been remastering and quasi-mono issues by Lee Herschberg and a remaster by Joe Glaswirt, with Dave Mitson assisting, using the Sonic Solutions 'NoNoise' system. However, it's not until Experience Hendrix made their releases on both CD and limited edition vinyl that a significant competition to the original UK pressing arrived.
