5.1 BD!! "Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision" 3CD/1BD box set (Experience Hendrix/Legacy) (3/25/2022)

[Electric Moo]

I need to get this

Is "Come Down Hard on me Baby" the original mix? Or the Alan Douglas

 

[andyp]

Am I missing something or has the track listing been totally changed since this release was first announced? And why is Track 12 on Disc 4 "Stevie Wonder"? Am I looking at a different release? The "Cry of Love" is not on this release as it was originally.

I suspect you are correct @~dave~~wave~. ie. That this is the very same bluray and it was not held back because of the flaws but for litigious reasons and furthermore that they wouldn't even care about the audio flaws.

No one with both copies able to put this to rest yet?

Someone mentioned the Hey Baby track. The original mix on Rainbow Bridge has "Is the microphone on", FYI. This is a new mix of the very same original recording.

The CD/albums are the bonus tracks of the set, FYI. The mix outtakes and working mixes done as overdubs and production moved along. A "behind the scenes" bonus. And the 5.1 "mix" of Mirrors is clearly an upmix of the drum overdub working mix included in these bonus tracks.

Interestingly, the discs are printed with 2021 copyright date, but the sleeve of my blu ray from the box set shows 2024.

My bluray disc says 2021 the cardboard cover says 2024 why did they reprint it with a new date?

I am listening to CD 2 the sound is superb. I am really enjoying this and love the package the book the photos etc
I suspect I will listen to the cds more than the bluray. Many tracks here I have never heard before.
And to think I contemplated canceling this order thinking the bluray was enough.....

Mine came today. Be enjoying it shortly.

Let me comment that the version of Come Down Hard On Me is a different one than on Loose Ends
The Loose Ends version has a Jimi vocal and nice guitar solo. Going from memory I prefer it to this one which is a nice funky instrumental take.
We will never know how some of these versions might have been completed due to Jimis death.
