Very cool. I would also expect Janie Hendrix to want to make a few bucks selling a Dolby Atmos Blu Ray, but who knows.

And still no word.....

My pre-order is still alive since Jan 5, 2022.

Why the hell have other Hendrix releases come out since then but this one is still in limbo?

Interesting that the album is already streaming, though it appears that the Atmos stream will replace it in May?

I've lost all hope of the Electric Lady Studios box set ever getting released after hearing that First Rays of The New Rising Sun is getting a new vinyl relase.

He was a truly free spirit, I think.
Long live Jimi. Only 28 years of life but an incredible passion and an incredible innovator.
Purple Haze and Crosstown Traffic meet at the intersection of art and Robert Johnson.
Bring it.

Make that only 27 years of life…

 

[mandrix]

Ah yes. The 27 club.

 

[andyp]

Doubtful we will ever see this released.

I'm not sure one has anything to do with the other.
Rather, they are touting the new Grundman remaster to capture the vinyl trade that's emerged 27 years after the first release.

"Newly mastered by Bernie Grundman using an all-analog production process sourced from the original 1/4” master tapes; this all-new First Rays Of The New Rising Sun album will debut on May 10 as a 2LP set pressed on 150-gram audiophile-grade black vinyl at the world-class QRP facilities...

...Originally released in 1997, the vinyl format has been out of print for many years and this special release marks the very first time the music has been available in this format."

Ah yes. The 27 club.

It's 27 years since this was first released on CD and vinyl, so there's another anniversary.

 

[esimms86]

Ah yes. The 27 club.

Jazz guitarist Charlie Christian only made it to 25 (died from tuberculosis).

 

[mlrocker]

oh boy cant wait to get my hands 0n these tracks

 

[jimfisheye]

What random collection of tracks from Rainbow Bridge, War Heroes, and Cry Of Love will "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" be this time around?
Or is the last one now considered cannon? Will we ever get digital releases of these 3 that have the full sound of the original vinyl releases?

I mean, those 3 are posthumous and cobbled to begin with. But the originals had a fidelity not heard since in any reissue and these are all major tracks for him.
