Excellent, guaranteed original, 1968 UK-Pressing Progressive Rock/Metal/Psych double-LP by JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE entitled "Electric Ladyland" on Polydor Records (#SPDLP 3, Stereo). "Electric Ladyland" is the third and final album by The JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, released on October 16, 1968. Written and produced by Jimi Hendrix, the album is seen as the peak of Hendrix's mastery of the electric guitar, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. It is not only the last of his albums released as the JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, but also the last of Hendrix's studio albums to be professionally produced under his own supervision. After "Electric Ladyland," Hendrix spent the remaining two years of his life attempting to organize a new band and recording a breadth of new songs. Released as a double album, "Electric Ladyland" is a cross-section of Hendrix's wide range of musical talent. It includes samples of several genres and styles of music, including the Psychedelia of "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" (previously a UK single in the summer of 1967), the bluesy guitar jam "Voodoo Chile," the New Orleans-style rock and roll of "Come On," the epic studio production of "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)," and the social commentary of "House Burning Down." The album also features a cover version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" that was widely praised by many, including Dylan himself, as well as "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," a staple of both radio and guitar repertoire.  Side one:  "...And the Gods Made Love," "Have You Ever Been (to Electric Ladyland)," "Crosstown Traffic," and "Voodoo Chile."  Side two: "Little Miss Strange," "Long Hot Summer Night," "Come On (Part 1)," "Gypsy Eyes," "Burning of the Midnight Lamp."  Side three: "Rainy Day, Dream Away," "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)," "Moon, Turn the Tides...Gently Gently Away."  Side four: "Still Raining, Still Dreaming," "House Burning Down," "All Along the Watchtower," and "Voodoo Child." Awesome original "Naked" gatefold cover photo as well!  Condition: Cover = solid VG+ (light wear, no seam splits), Records = beautiful VG+ (very light paper scuffs - plays through fine!).
