Available on November 9 as either a 3xCD/1 Blu-ray set or a 6xLP/1 Blu-ray set, both packages include the original double album, now newly remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analogue tapes; Electric Ladyland: The Early Takes, which presents demos and studio outtakes from this period in Hendrix’s career; and The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live At the Hollywood Bowl 9/14/68, part of Experience Hendrix’s Dagger Records official bootleg series. The Blu-ray also includes the feature-length documentary At Last… The Beginning: The Making of Electric Ladyland.
This 50th anniversary edition features new cover art – a Linda (McCartney) Eastman photograph of the band and children at the statue of Alice In Wonderland in New York’s Central Park, which was Hendrix’s own choice of imagery for the album’s cover.
You can read much more about the making of Electric Ladyland in the current issue of Uncut, on sale now.
