JIMI HENDRIX The Cry Of Love (Barclay 080.433) RARE French 1st Pressing MINT!
RARE original first French pressing of the seminal Jimi Hendrix album, "The Cry Of Love" on Barclay Records (March 1971).
In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, Lenny Kaye said The Cry of Love is the authentic posthumous Hendrix album, his "final effort, and ... a beautiful, poignant testimonial, a fitting coda to the career of a man who was clearly the finest electric guitarist to be produced by the Sixties, bar none." 
Robert Christgau contended in a review for The Village Voice at the time that it is an "excellent testament" and may be Hendrix's best album behind Electric Ladyland: "As usual, the individual compositions are nothing special, but the tone of the whole is superb." (...) Nathan Brackett wrote in The Rolling Stone Album Guide that The Cry of Love showed the master, playing with Cox and Mitchell, at his most confident: 'Ezy Rider' and 'Angel' are the tough and tender faces of the genius at his most appealing." In 2014, The Cry of Love was deemed by VH1 to be "the greatest posthumous classic rock record of all time".  - From the Wikipedia entry.
