I've tried searching for it but have come up empty TIA |

| 1337213 | 2013-04-17 05:01:00 | "Are You Experienced" was ranked by Rolling Stones as 15th greatest album of all-time | kingdragonfly (309) | ||
| 1337214 | 2013-04-17 05:32:00 | Ah.. I know exactly what article you are talking about - read it myself... now I'm playing silly buggers with my own mind trying to remember where it was also.... | Bozo (8540) | ||
| 1337215 | 2013-04-17 05:42:00 | My 2c (I never really liked Electric Ladyland ) He only recordered/released 3 albums , all they others were after he died, often cobbled together from old tapes found in someones attic :-) Dopnt bother with the Best Of comnpliation Might have been some live albums released when he was alive ?? Get these 2 first Are You Experienced (1967) : not the the best sounding recording compared to modern stuff (it was the 1960's), but has very good songs Axis: Bold as Love (1967) : My favourite ,more of a jazz/rock feel , beter recording sound than Experienced. I think this one got the Jazz Record of the year from a Jazz magazine !! Then this Jimi Plays Monterey [live] : a very high energy feel. Its Full On. Then this Band of Gypsys [live] : could be his 'experimental' band. Doesnt have his usual drummer , & you can tell. More of a laid back funky sound. Get it just for Machine Gun Lots of other Crap albums, put together after he died. Avoid unless youre really keen. (some are truely awefull) |

| 1337218 | 2013-04-17 08:14:00 | Personally I have fond memories of the double album Electric Ladyland. I seem to recall it was issued in a white box by Polydore at one point but maybe that was a later compilation. Whatever, still enjoy Jimi. :D | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 1337219 | 2013-04-17 10:32:00 | Read an article in the latest Uncut magazine about the Hendrix estate re-issues. Someone reckoned you only need the first 4 albums, tend to agree, the rest appeals to completists. |
