Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release

My favourite Album of all time. Might have have to investigate the Box Set.

From Axis Bold As Love: "I've got my own life to live through - and I ain't gonna copy you!" - If Six Was Nine. Lest we forget, Jimi had to go to London first to be "discovered" - before his return to America. Electric Ladyland was first issued by Track Records UK with the risque cover - then replaced with the "safer" cover for the Warner's US release!

Anybody here remember seeing Hendrix on the David Frost TV show? Talked with Frost and then got to play one song - with his teeth! July '69 - before Woodstock.

I watched it on a black-n-white TV at my high school friend's house, along with his father. We thought that teeth trick was Jimi just being a show-off!

Jimi was discovered in the US by Chas Chandler who was looking for an act to kick off his new career as a record producer.  Chas had Jimi sign a management contract with Michael Jeffery, the guy Chas always complained had screwed The Animals out of their money.  Jeffery did the same to Jimi and Jimi died amonst his "friends" in London less than 4 years later, disgusted with the music business and the people he was involved with.
