TOP COPY!

RARE Original highly laminated 1968 BRITISH first pressing...the album, was intended to be released as a two record set. In England it was issued in two separate releases, Pt. 1 and part 2, along with stunning cover design, as seen in the photograph... The album is highly collectible, hard to find and serves as a brilliant collectible in the Hendrix cannon...

Includes the original plastic lined Polydor printed inner sleeve...

Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix's second album release of 1968 (following Axis: Bold as Love) showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer...

The third and final record of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, is the last studio album by the 'The Experience' and also the last project finished under the direction of Jimi Hendrix. Though not a concept album, it nevertheless forms a cohesive whole, with all the songs flowing into each other in a very natural and organic way. Certain themes and motifs reoccur, such as the elements, fire, and water, or sunshine and rain. In two cases musical themes reoccur. There is Voo Doo Child, Slight Return, and Still Raining, Still Dreaming, that reprise Voo Doo Child and Rainy Day, Dream Away, respectively. It is amazing how long he can sustain the groove and keep the jam going, but a credit to his acumen that he breaks these excursions into smaller, easily digestible ch-ch-chunks.

Rainy Day, Dream Away creates the feeling of an impromptu jam session. There are conga drums, an organ, reeds, and of course, Jimi. Is this some kind of musical tribute to Seattle, a city of perpetual rain where Jimi grew up? He looks out the window and sees that it is raining, but that suits his mood. He's going to "lay back and groove on a rainy day." Still Raining, Still Dreaming, pops out like a jack-in-the-box and dances in your face. Really great use of a wah wah peddle. Hendrix could take those devices that would be just toys in less talented hands, and really make lasting musical statements with them.

Electric Ladyland creates its own myth, and elevates Jimi Hendrix to mythical status. Voo Doo Chile is a long standing tradition in the blues, Hendrix takes it "past the outskirts of infinity" and brings back "a Venus witch's ring."

CONDITION: The cover: the fragile UK cover is in GREAT shape, M- highly laminated front and back cover with unique collectible custom design that outshines other standard releases ... no bends, no writing and no split seams.... 

The vinyl: all smooth and glossy is M- top clean and looks beautiful ... clean Polydor labels too....
