THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE - ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?

ORIGINAL 1970 RELEASE

AWESOME CONDITION!!!

Are You Experienced is the debut album by English/American rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released in 1967, it was the first LP for Track Records. The album highlighted Jimi Hendrix's R&B-based, psychedelic, distortion- and feedback-laden electric guitar playing, and launched him as a major new international star. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #15 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

In 2005 Are You Experienced was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in the United States.

The Reprise USA & Canada compilation release

It was only after the band's show-stealing performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June of that year that his USA & Canada label Reprise Records prepared the album for release, but with some significant changes. The UK cover was abandoned, and a more psychedelic design was devised by innovative photographer Karl Ferris (whose group portraits appeared on all three 'Experience' US album covers). This is the cover image that most people are familiar with is the fish-eye, color infrared film photography.

Secondly, and more crucially, "Red House", "Can You See Me" and "Remember" were all removed - in order to make way for the three UK hit singles, with the running order being shuffled in the process. This time the running order was selected by Hendrix himself, but "Red House" was excluded from the album against his wishes. He was told that the US and Latin America did "not like the blues". This selection of tracks was also remixed into stereo. In August, the US version of Are You Experienced saw issue in both the original mono mix and the new stereo mix and became a strong and enduring seller. Indeed, Jimi's own follow-up, Axis: Bold as Love, out that December in the UK, had to be detained for six weeks due to his debut's stellar sales (and it still wouldn't reach its peak of #5 until October 1968).
