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

[5.1 4 Life]

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.????

I also checked the Amazon (US) link for the upcoming Deluxe Edition of Electric Ladyland and saw the same thing (also none of the other online vendors have anything on it yet). This should change within a few days so keep checking.

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!

See post #29.
Looks like Jimi gets his wish 50 years late.

Hendrix had written to Reprise describing what he wanted for the cover art, but was mostly ignored. He expressly asked for a color photo by Linda Eastman of the group sitting with children on a sculpture from Alice in Wonderland in Central Park, and drew a picture of it for reference.

Much of the album (including its two epic length tracks) was recorded at the Record Plant in NYC. According to the Wikipedia entry, it was a 12-track studio. Hopefully that gave Kramer enough flexibility to create an active surround mix.

Check this line out from the entry:

"In 1970, Studio A became the first recording studio designed for mixing quadraphonic sound."

Hmm . . .

Electric Ladyland Deluxe Edition includes a full color, 48-page book containing Jimi’s handwritten lyrics, poem and instructions to his record label, as well as never before published photos from the recording sessions that were shot by Eddie Kramer himself. All contained in a deluxe casemade book with new cover art which is true to Hendrix’s original vision of the album’s cover: a Linda (McCartney) Eastman photograph of the band and children at the statue of Alice In Wonderland in New York’s Central Park.

CD1: the original album, now newly remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes.
CD2: Electric Ladyland: The Early Takes, which presents 20 never before heard demos and studio outtakes from this period in Hendrix’s career.
CD3: Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live At the Hollywood Bowl 9/14/68, part of Experience Hendrix’s Dagger Records official bootleg series. The never before released recording captures the band and the mounting excitement that took place just weeks before the release of Electric Ladyland.
Blu-ray: includes the acclaimed full-length documentary At Last… The Beginning: The Making of Electric Ladyland plus a new 5.1 surround sound mix of the entire original album by Hendrix’s original engineer Eddie Kramer plus the original stereo mixes in uncompressed 24 bit/96 kz high resolution audio.

WOW, OH WOW I'm over the moon, the first Hendrix album I bought (& on cassette) and now in surround. There is not enough space to put all the dancing bananas! So its a Yipeeee....

 

[Ranasakawa]

As a huge fan and collector of Jimi Hendrix this is a dream come true.
I am very grateful to the producers of Jimi Hendrix for this release.

 

[GOS]

Yeah, I'm pretty excited...but I'm getting more joy out of hearing everyone's excitement over this. Just awesome....

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Yep....this is the best "day 1" in recent memory...usually by now the "negative nellies" are raining on the parade....even the unrealistic posts about how great the surround will be haven't started yet...yes...excitement is awesome...and I...like you...are enjoying this a LOT

 

[4-earredwonder]

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

As Cyndi Lauper Sings: Money Changes EVERYTHING!

 

[bnyhof]

Bought this on LP when it first cam out and remains my favourite Hendrix record. A pre-order for me as soon as it is available.

 

[Snood]

Well Snood ordered something on Amerzon - saying Lady and Land - hope Snood not just buy a dress , if so hope it is really frilly

Snood, it's already $10 cheaper @ Bullmoose* w/free shipping over $30. And you'd look positively loverly in a tie dyed dress with the Electric Ladyland cover inked on the rear. One size fits ALL.

*edit: Bullmoose link disappeared. Stay tuned. Betcha ImportCD/Deep Discount will better Amerzon's price.

NOT FRILLY ENOUGH, YOU KNOW THAT!!!!! LMAO

 

[Scott M4]

The stereo panning on some of the tracks is insane... so Eddie could have "stayed true" to the original and produced an insane quad mix!

 

[Fourplay]

Dudes,

For a hint on the mix, check this:

[Quadwreck]

About time, I say. Gotta have it.

 

[salsdali]

amazon:

to say I'm excited is an understatement

Jimi in proper surround has always been my holy grail

Now it's official: Amazon.com (USA) has the correct page for the Electric Ladyland set (other online vendors should have it as well).

It's also up at Amazon UK but with no price:

At today's (quite rubbish) exchange rate it would be £43.45. Yeah right... Will probably end up somewhere aound 60 quid... But at least it's there, whoop!
