Jimi Hendrix - "Electric Ladyland" (50th Anniversary Edition with new 5.1 mix on Blu-Ray) 11/9/2018

[knifeman]

For us Jefferson Airplane fans, the mighty thunder of Jack Casady's bass is on "Voodoo Chile"!

I never knew that. And I'm a big JA fan.

 

[Snood]

Aweeeeeeeeeeeesome

 

[stormchaser]

Well, this is a very pleasant surprise!

 

[jimfisheye]

I'd like to think that Kramer has made a wonderful surround mix of this.
Still, if the original stereo mix at least equals the Deutsche Grammophon vinyl, I'll be happy. If it betters it, I'll be VERY happy!

Looks like some more liberated cleaned up bootleg fair on disc 2 there (that we've had dodgy copies of for a long time) which is always welcome!

Wonder if it will get the original cover this time around?
Word on the street is the man himself was NOT a fan it turns out!

From Eddie Kramer's Wikipedia page:

"In 2004, Kramer had several Hendrix-related projects, including helping DigiTech design and create an effects pedal which emulates characteristically Hendrixian guitar sounds. He also remastered Hendrix albums for Classic Vinyl, and remixed Woodstock, a posthumous live release, in 5.1 surround sound."

I assume this is on the Woodstock DVD or Blu-Ray release? I suppose it's not really fair to judge his surround prowess based on a live mix...

This is the part that really interested me:

"Also in 2011 he recorded preeminent pedal steel blues/gospel guitarist Robert Randolph and the Family Band on the album Lickety Split, and Carlos Santana, a guest star on two of the album's tracks, as well as completing further mixes of Hendrix recordings in 5.1 Surround Sound. "

Anyone know what these might be? Unreleased mixes? Could this Electric Ladyland 5.1 be an old shelved mix?

 

[H.A.L.]

I never knew that. And I'm a big JA fan.

Whoever mixes this had better take advantage of Jack on bass: should make it sound more like 5.4 than 5.1

Apparently Hendrix annoyed the studio engineers by bringing in friends so that a party was always going on, and Jack was invited to sit in on "Voodoo Chile." He gets credit for it on the album cover.

Can you imagine a studio album with Casady supporting Jimi on all the songs?

Yikes Yippie! Break out the QQ Wine!

 

[marpow]

Double Wow.

 

[jefe1]

All I can say is I have a job and credit cards.
I'm in trouble this fall.....

 

[MrSmithers]

Bloody hell - brilliant!!!! Awesome news! Voodoo Child is going to sound epic! For the moment I'm a Woohoo child!

 

[leevitalone1]

What kind of amazon page is that???

 

[leevitalone1]

Just pre-ordered "Land" by "Lady" from AmerzonUS ()

Ya I'm not sure now after seeing that page, it is very vague. No mention of Hendrix, and like WTF Bull moose has nothing either.????

 

[Snood]

Yikes Yippie! Break out the QQ Wine!

It is actually Ale

 

[4-earredwonder]

So this is being released by Sony Legacy?

Yep and Bullmoose is ONLY charging $15 more than the AP list prices [$35] of Axis and Are You Experienced and have set a firm release date unlike AP. And SONY is giving us SO MUCH MORE than AP to boot!

 

[shakti]

Somebody kick me very hard somewhere very painful to convince me I am not dreaming???!!!!!!!!

This is un-effing-believable!! My #1 most wanted surround album, which I never thought would happen. WOW!!!!!!!

Would you be surprised???
So many unreleased MCH mixes...
but this one is really special...

 

[onthewall2983]

Didn't Kramer say that he didn't like doing surround mixes like this? I swear I read something to that effect here.

 

[sjcorne]

I hope they go all out with the guitar panning in “All Along The Watchtower”. That would actually “honor the stereo mix”

He also mixed the Monterey Pop film (Jimi Plays Monterey) in 5.1. They are good mixes, very true to the original sound while at the same time more hifi and powerful.
