The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Electric Ladyland

180 Gram Double vinyl pressing. Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix’s second album release of 1968 (following ‘Axis: Bold as Love’) was a Double LP set that showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer: blistering blues (‘Voodoo Chile’), galaxy-patrolling space jams (‘1983… a merman i should turn to be’), psychedelic soul (‘Crosstown Traffic’), and skyscraping rock (‘Voodoo Child (Slight Return)’). In the midst of all this was even a hit song – Hendrix’s remarkable reading of Bob Dylan’s ‘All Along the Watchtower,’ featuring a series of baton-passing guitar solos, all distinct and brilliant. seemingly diffuse when first released; in hindsight, kaleidoscopically eclectic.
