SCARCE COLLECTION COPY
DECIDEDLY far superior (DYNAMIC) sound quality, obviously mastered from the original UK plates ... compared to the USA issue, this Polydor German pressing reigns supreme! It's an approx 47 year old pressing 1970 issue and quite scarce at this point ... laminated sleeve - better inside cover graphics from the USA version as well, following the British design.

AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE was the follow-up to ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?, and represented a much more conscious use of the recording studio's possibilities. Where his live shows continued to showcase the raw rocking power of the Experience, the recording studio gave Hendrix the composer/arranger a broader palette.
There are still plenty of powerful blues/rock-inflected songs, such as the menacing "If 6 Was 9," the rolling "Spanish Castle Magic" and the spatial title tune. But "Up From The Skies" is a jazzy trio romp, featuring Hendrix's bluesy, vocalized wah-wah pedal. And on the ballads "Little Wing" and "Castles Made Of Sand," Hendrix shifts the focus from the band to the silvery chord/melody accompaniments he often employed to complement his vocals. They are an orchestral effect unto themselves.
