Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release


Looking forward to release tomorrow. In my humble opinion one of the greatest albums ever. Imagine hearing this album when it was released, Compositionally and technically from another time and place, truly ground breaking. Thanks Jimi!!!!!!!

I love Hendrix. I still own the original (rare) vinyl version of Electric Ladyland with all the topless womenn on the cover.

It was recalled for the obvious reason.

Great era for music.
Ihasaguy is incorrect.

Reprise never “recalled” the album because the nude cover was never released in the US. None exist. 

However, the nude cover was available in Europe on the Track and Barclay labels. 

Hendrix wanted a cover unlike the 2 that were actually issued and found the nude cover distasteful. 
I own a virgin (pun intended) copy of the "Electric Ladyland" nude cover album (both the vinyl and the cover). I friend brought it back for me from the UK when it was first released and I've carefully curated it. An interesting cover and a good album. RE: the present topic, I'm not inclined to purchase it: I'll stream it instead.
You are correct about the cover.   I forgot that I was overseas at the time, it Was 50 years ago, lol.  I taped it and put it away, just saw it again as I am moving (downsizing).  I listen to it digitally now as I have been without a turntable for many years.  Still hang onto my vinyl collection for sentimental reasons.
