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!!!!!!!

Yes, I heard it when it was first released! My cousin lent me his copy! Certainly Hendrix's masterwork! "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp", " Moon Turn The Tides Gently Away", "1983", "Hot Summer Night" ... I have a British Track pressing of the first LP (missing no. 2)! Still, half of a masterpiece is better than having none!

Jimi Hendrix + Stratocaster/Marshall + Lysergic Acid = GENIUS! We will always miss you, Jimi!

I too heard it when it came out, as I did when Are You Experienced? and Axis: Bold As Love were released. Along with Cheap Thrills, Sgt Pepper/MMT/White Album, Bookends, Surrealistic Pillow/Crown Of Creation and Disraeli Gears/Wheels Of Fire, these all changed my life for the better. The ’67-’68 era was a major catalyst for muscial creativity. Finally, music could be dark once again and have depth.
